am i the only one that feels like those posts listing off what's valid as an age regressor is like... odd.

"you're valid if you're poc!" yes. obviously. "you're valid if you cry when regressed!" yes. obviously. "you're valid if you do things most bio kids can't!" yes. obviously.

i dont know it just feels sort of counterproductive? like yes, of course you're allowed to have bad times while regressed or feel angry or sad. it's a coping mechanism and often a result of mental illness. of course you're allowed to??? be a person of color??? and disabled??? and a boy or trans or whatever??? i know they're in good faith usually but it feels sort of strange sometimes and i feel like every other post i see is someone asking things like "am i still an age regressor if i want to scream and cry? how can i fix this problem? should i want to have a cg?" :/

nothing is wrong with you. regression looks different on everyone and ultimately you should do what feels comfortable for you. not doing the things cookie cutter redditors or agere instagram accounts do does not make you evil.

age regression resources and blogs can help you to get a guideline and learn things, but you do not need follow everything to-a-t to be "good at it". like whatever food you want, like whatever colors you want, feel nostalgic about whatever you want. if sitting in bed with a water bottle and a show you like is what regression is for you, that's fine. it's for you and should be tailored as such.

#im like so tired #it feels like seeing stuff like this just sort of further stigamtizes it #i dont know whenever i see posts that are like “help! i regress but this time i didn't feel perfect the whole time!” its just.#uugughghgh i dont know. you dont need validation on the internet to be a “real” regressor i promise you are okay #the idea of enforcing roles and stereotypes also makes me feel very gross #but i wont get into that #idk maybe im just noncom and feel weird about alot of community stuff #sfw interaction only #sfw agere #noncom agere #age regression #merkitty babbles
