#regression age

[pink-crayon-princess]

Does anyone else find it difficult to tell what their little age is because it’s hard to separate it from their intelligence?

Like … I’m 90% sure I regress younger than I think I do, but I only think I’m older because I don’t find much challenge in materials or cartoons made for babies and toddlers. Even when I’m little, I know my ABCs, and my numbers, and my colors, and I get bored. I prefer stuff from the second to fourth grade levels, where I actually have to do some problem solving.

I play with toys with small pieces because I know I won’t choke on them, I color in the lines, I practice basic kitchen safety, and I try not to spill things or make huge messes.

What DOES change is my emotional sensitivity, my stress levels, and the level of enjoyment I get out of whatever activity I’m doing. I feel like a little girl, but I “perform” like an older one.

Do you guys find that your intellect matches that of the age you regress to, or is it only your sensitivity/enjoyment that changes?

How do I figure out my age range when regressed when I'm regressed?

Hello there

To be honest, I’m don’t have a lot of knowledge on this topic, and I’m a bit low on “spoons” at the moment, but I’ll do my best to give you an answer regardless ^-^

To begin with, one tip I have for trying to put a label on your regression age is (taken from a previous post of mine) to go by how you feel, instead of by what traits you have. This can especially be a good strategy since when you’re regressed, your brain has (in most cases) still developed since you were that age chronologically, so it’s normal for your brain to consciously or unconsciously draw on those experiences, or to mix traits from different ages. It’s also possible to regress to multiple ages at once

I would also like to add that regression ages aren’t exact science, and as long as the label(s) you choose fits you, there’s no wrong way to label your regression age. As an example, if you feel like a toddler, it is more than okay to label your regression age as that, even if it’s just an estimate. It’s your regression and you get to pick the label. Also, don’t worry about your regressed traits perfectly fitting into a box or checklist. It is actually quite common for that to not be the case.

Also, taken from this post:

it is not mandatory for you to declare an official ‘regressed age.’

i see so many people so anxious over trying to figure out their ‘correct’ agere age label. if you want to and have identified the age(s) you regress to, that’s great! but if you don’t want to or are unsure about it, don’t worry! just do what makes you happy!

if you want a paci even if you don’t regress that young, that’s okay! they can be great for stimming!

if you regress tiny but still want to play video games that aren’t necessarily ‘baby friendly’ that’s okay too!! video games can be really fun, and if you enjoy it, that’s great!

I hope that helped at least a bit. If anyone have more tips, please feel free to add on to this ♡

Because of my autism my childhood was off by a little. I mainly regress as a response to intense stress and it's not often that I experience that stress. I don't know my regression age which is fine but I want to find activities to do while regressed. I think it's either 4-5 or 5-7 because I can write sentences and read but also talk about interests and dislikes. Even though I'm nonverbal while regressed I know I regress above 1 or 2. I'm not really stressed about it but what do you think?

Hi there ♡

It isn't really possible for me to tell what age you regress to, since like other agere related things, regression ages are a personal feeling that only you can decide how to label.

Often when trying to put a label on your regression age, it can be a good idea to go by how you feel, instead of by what traits you have, especially since when regressed you're regressed, your brain has (in most cases) still developed since you were that age chronologically, so it’s normal for your brain to consciously or unconsciously draw on those experiences, or to mix traits from different ages.

So can people regress to their middle teens? I know this sounds stupid but I'm curious.

Hello there ♡

Your question doesn't sound stupid at all. Seeking knowledge is not a sign of a low intelligence.

To answer your question, as far as I know, it is possible to regress to any previous age. So people who are older than that can regress to their mid teens, while it's not possible for someone who has not yet reached that age chronologically, since you can't regress to an age you haven't experienced yet.

[dollishchild]

Do you think that you can be a baby regressor, kid regressor, tween regressor, or middle regressor but act kinda different? for example you can be a middle regressor and be nonverbal and like bottles.

Hi there

It is definitely possible, and actually quite common, to experience a "mix" of traits from different age, no matter what age you regress to.

Like @age-regressor-culture-is said here:

[...] you've already experienced those ages so of course you wouldn't experience it fully linearly like a bio kid

Even when regressed, your brain has (in most cases) still developed since you were that age chronologically, so it's normal for your brain to consciously or unconsciously draw on those experiences, or to mix traits from different ages. As an example, be a toddler regressor with an advanced vocabulary, or like you say, be a middle regressor and be nonverbal and like bottles. It is also possible to regress to multiple ages at once.

So last year I started regressing in class and when I regressed I was first nonverbal and rarely talked but could do regular things I could do while not regressed. The more times I regressed I started to be able to talk and then one-time when I regressed I felt like I was 9. so I think I'm more of a middle regressor since I never really regressed to a baby but Im not old enough to be a teen regressor. I theorized that I regressed 1-4 but never really felt an age until then. so what do you think?

Hi there anon

It is not possible for me to tell what age you regress to, since only you can decide what label you want to use to describe your experience

Regression ages aren't exact science, and when it comes to picking how you want to describe your regressed age, there are no wrong or right choices, as long as you feel like the label fits you and your experience.

If you feel like the term middle space fits you, I see nothing wrong with you using it.

I would also like to add that it is possible to have more than one regressed age, so you could be regressing to both 9 and 1-4. It's also completely fine to feel like you don't have a specific age when regressed.
