How to explain your regression to others

Here are some easy and harmless ways you can explain your regression to others:

💜 “I have a very childish character”

💜 “I like kid things. It relaxes me”

💜 “I am a very nostalgic person. I love watching old disney movies, etc”

💜 “I collect toys”

💜 “I am doing inner child therapy. It’s when you take care of your inner child”

💜 “I like acting like a child from time to time, it helps me with my mental illness”

💜 “My interests and hobbies are cute-sy. I like cute things, video games, stuffies, movies for children”

💜 “It’s a trend in Japan” (lol)

💜 “I like to decorate with things that remind me of my childhood”

💜 “Sometimes, I feel way younger than I actually am”

💜 “I like silly things. It makes me happy”

💜 “I like simple, cute activities where I don’t have to think a lot”

💜 “I sometimes like to act younger to release stress”

💜 “It’s my aesthetic”

💜 “I like things made for kids. My life is challenging and I need something to calm me down”

💜 Feeling like a child makes me feel safe

💜 Remember 💜

You don’t owe anyone an explaination for your ageregression. It’s not a bad thing, but a valid coping mechanism and if it helps you or makes you happy you can be as childish as you want. Other people’s opinion does not have to be the truth. Do whatever you want. ILY

Reasons to use a pacifier

I recently asked my Instagram followers to send in their reasons for using a pacifier, and they certainly delivered! Here is everything they came up with:

(Some of these things may be triggering topics, as they involve mental health and various disorders. Read at your own discretion.)

Mental

to ease anxiety

to avoid the urge to using negative coping skills

to cope with the mental effects of getting bullied

to calm down

to help feel “smaller”

to have the comfort one missed out on as a child

to soothe and distract from panic attacks

to help with separation anxiety

to help focus on work

to feel cute

because of the happiness it brings

to help with the symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

to help with the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

to help with the effects of overstimulation due to Autism Spectrum Disorder

to prevent and ease tics due to Tourette’s Syndrome

something to focus on instead of hallucinations

to feel safe and relaxed

to calm down after a meltdown or breakdown

to cope with trauma

to enjoy the feeling

Physical

to ease the effects of teeth grinding

prevent nail biting

an alternative to chewing on other objects

to fall asleep

to distract from skin picking

to help prevent chewing the insides of cheeks and lips

to prevent thumb sucking

to prevent hand chewing

because they are nice to look at

to healthily oral self stimulate

to give one’s mouth “something to do,” as needed with an oral fixation

liking the back and forth motion

to keep breathing steady

to help prevent binge eating

to not talk as much

to help avoid smoking cigarettes

to prevent snoring

to ease the pain from a tight retainer

to prevent painfully biting down on one’s teeth

to ease gum pain

to help with Pica

to help with wisdom teeth (the person did not specify what exactly, but I’m assuming they mean pain)

I hope you all learned a few things by reading this list! I certainly did. Please feel free to share this list with anyone, including those who may not understand why you use (or want to use) one. The benefits are wonderful, and it’s great hearing how helpful they are to everyone <3
