Vent? Help pls

Guys I keep seeing shadow figures and other random scary figures out of the corner of my eyes and it won’t stop. It’s even worse this year!! I don’t know what to do!!

[not-a-normal-kiddo]

On November 7, 2024, Denmark used a racist, culturally biased "parenting competency" test to remove a 2 hour old baby, Zammi, from her loving indigenous Greenlandic Inuit mother, Keira, because her native language, which uses minute facial expressions to communicate, will not be able to "[prepare] the child for the social expectations and codes that are necessary to navigate in Danish society." This test had been recommended not to be used at the federal level before this happened but certain municipalities, including the one this happened in, chose to continue to use it regardless. Not only is this blatantly racist but also violates multiple declarations and conventions that Denmark has signed that protect the rights of indigenous people.

Please sign this petition to help Keira to get her baby back.

(Second account,just wanna get this out there so I can finally get answers)

THIS ISNT AN AGERE POST

Is this child on child sexual abuse (or assault in my case) or am I just being dramatic?

In 4th grade I had this new kid in January,this call him creep,and me and creep became friends.

He would always make me uncomfortable,he wanted to sit close to me all the time. One time he started rubbing my hand which I was uncomfortable with,I didn’t do anything tho which i regret now.

One day he went way too far with trying to kiss me,I looked at my friend for help (which we are still good friends btw) and she didn’t see the look or thought we were messing around.

I started to run away and Creep chased after me,he grabbed me,probably trying to kiss me,but I got out of his grip and ran over to some friends which they helped me and protected me from him.

I don’t necessarily think about it,so it feels invalid,but knowing if it was sexual assault has been on my mind. For more context we were both 10 to 11 at that time. I was 10 and he was 11 I think.

I'm autistic and I currently feel like shit checklist

Hi there. Are you autistic? Do you currently feel like shit and don't know why? Try this checklist to see if you can Fix The Problem!

When was the last time you used the bathroom? If you answered "I don't know" or "at least 3 hours ago", go now!

Do you need a drink? Go get one if you don't have one in front of you.

When was the last time you ate? If you haven't eaten yet today, consider eating A Meal, or perhaps A Snack. Something is better than nothing, eat whatever you feel able to!

Is there something in your immediate surroundings that is bothering you? If the light is too bright, turn it off. If there is an annoying sound, make the sound stop or reduce your ability to hear it (earplugs, headphones, etc.). If your clothes are bothering you, change them.

Is your space messy? Pick one area of your room and clean it up as best you can. Clean your whole room if you have the energy!

When was the last time you did An Activity? Scrolling on social media doesn't count. Try actively doing something fun! Play a game you like, read a book, make something, or go for a walk.

When was the last time you Spoke to a Person? Consider talking to a person you like if it has been a while.

How long has it been since you did something Special Interest related? Make some time to do that today. Infodump to a friend, have a nice long research session, look at related images or gifs, make art about it, whatever works best for you!

Try stimming actively! Put on some music and dance, spin in circles, go to the park and use the swings!

If you still feel like shit after trying all of these things, you might be tired or sick. Go to bed early and get some rest. Hopefully you will feel better tomorrow!

Hope that helps :)

actually i WILL say it

if you are a regressor that is also a minor- DO NOT say your age on the internet.

ive been seeing wayyy too many community posts that are like “where are the other teen regressors?? ^-^ im 14 btw!!”

do you know how scary that is? do not advertise that you are young and vulnerable Anywhere on the internet let alone in a community that has- unfortunately- proven to have predators lurking and actively looking for people to take advantage of

i’ll repeat this again. KEEP YOUR AGE TO YOURSELF. you do not NEED to tell everyone your age. practice BASIC internet safety and keep yourself safe. dont tell people your real name, dont tell people your age, dont tell people where you live, dont tell people your mental disorders/triggers/anything that they could use against you or that makes you vulnerable

please stay safe hooolyyyy

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. if you are a minor regressor- DO NOT GO LOOKING FOR AN ONLINE CAREGIVER. this is the fastest surefire way to get groomed and taken advantage of.

I found some really good Stolas ASMR videos for those who love Helluva Boss and/or ASMR. They're also perfect for those whose fictional caregiver (or one of their fictional CGs if they have multiple /pos) is Stolas ✨️

The one where Stolas reads a bedtime story to the listener makes me feel so tiny ☺️

[not-a-normal-kiddo]

SAMEEE-

I have so many accounts you would never guess was actually me 🙏😭 saying this cuz I just saw someone reblog smth from my other OTHER account

[not-a-normal-kiddo]

You know what, I'm gonna say it. Experience fandom regression your way.

You found agere headcanons in a horror game? Wonderful!

You have an 18+ source you associate with sfw agere themes? Heck yeah.

Everyone and their mom says X is the little, Y is the caregiver, but you don't think so? Make blog posts about Y being a regressor, make a caregiver moodboard for X.

Don't like romantic themes in a ship everyone ships? Make it familial or platonic.

Niche fandom no one knows about or has absolutely no posts about when you look for agere content of it on Tumblr? Be a trailblazer! I'd love to see your post.

Pure self indulgence and OC shipping? Absolutely adore it.

You want to completely project yourself onto a character to make their regression/caregiving experience more like you? That's so cool.

Don't think you can write or draw that well but want to make fan work of your favorite characters? You'll do great, it's about fun, not perfection.

You have 10+ fictional CGs? A found family of characters you associate with regression? Tell me about them all. Show me the family you built.

The point is, fandom agere I feel like can be so gatekept sometimes. People feel like they need to follow rules to avoid being judged, but you don't. Regressing is all about having fun, and making new memories and experiences. I think it's great you have a fandom/character you love enough to go on that journey with. Some of us may not be so good at playing with toys or doing a lot of commonly talked about agere activities, like me. But my characters I love? My art, my writing? Absorbing myself into a fictional safe space I've built is how I play. How I express myself, and I want you to know you can do that in any way you want.

I spent far too long thinking things were wrong or right, that they were taboo or bad in this community when really, I was just disagreeing with the masses about an opinion in fiction. Everyone has different opinions, comfort levels, boundaries on their own works, etc, but as long as you aren't breaking those bounds and are keeping things SFW? Have a blast. This is your coping mechanism, your fandoms, your interests, your things that make you happy. Have the most fun, okay little one?

YALL. STOP AND LISTEN TO THIS!!

Your Regression is 100% Valid Even If... 💜

You use a paci regardless of your regression age.

You wear a diaper regardless of your regression age. Also, diapers are not necessarily s*xu@l. Some people wear them for medical reasons too.

You use a bottle, sippy, or regular cup regardless of your regression age.

You watch things or play games that aren't child-friendly or not necessarily geared towards kids while you're regressed.

You eat "grown-up" or adult foods when you're regressed. Regression isn't always dino nuggets, Happy Meals, and other "kid foods."

You don't have an exact regression age. Some people regress to a range of ages. Or you might just say you regress to a toddler, kid, teen, etc but you don't have a specific number to put to it. Or you just feel younger. Everything is valid!

Everything isn't pink and cute and "girly."

Your regression doesn't have an aesthetic.

You watch newer kids shows rather than the ones you grew up with. Or a mix of both!

You don't type/speak in baby talk.

You have a disability (physical or mental) or chronic illness.

Days or even months go by between times that you regress.

You don't have any gear or toys, or all the gear you have is from discount/dollar stores, thrift shops, yard/garage/boot/etc sales.

You don't have a caregiver or don't want a caregiver, or you have fictional caregivers.

Your regression isn't "pure" or positive or happy. It's okay if your regression is "impure" or sad/vent with big emotions.

You regress voluntarily or involuntary, or a mix of both.

You don't look a certain way. Age regressors can be any body shape or size, any ethnicity, and any gender!

how did they find out about age regression? did they stumble upon it online? did a friend tell them about it?

do they have a specific age or range they regress to, or do they just go off vibes?

why do they regress? is it trauma or stress related? do they regress to go back to simpler times, or to create new memories? what causes them to regress?

is their regression more voluntary or involuntary? do they ever regress without realizing it?

do they ever find themselves only regressing partially, or do they fully drop when they regress?

are they a stuffie or a blankie kid? both? neither?

do they have a caregiver? are they a caregiver/flip?

in what ways are they different when they're regressed? do aspects of their personality or interests change at all? are they similar to how they were when they were an actual kid, or completely different?

do they identify with any specific labels (regressor, flip, pet regressor, etc.)?

do they have any regression gear (teethers, pacifiers, diapers, specific toys or outfits, etc.)? do they try to hide it from friends/family?

do they fall into any 'regressor stereotypes' (baby talk, loving disney movies, liking pastels, etc.), or do they diverge from the 'norm' (liking horror media, regressing to an older age, etc.)?

do they have any specific nicknames for when they regress? how about nicknames they've given to their caregiver(s) or friends?

what do they like to do when they're regressed? do they like to play pretend, watch tv/movies, color, etc.?

what kind of snacks/drinks do they gravitate towards when regressed? do they use a sippy cup or bottle? how about those little divider plates/trays?

what do they wear when they're regressed? do they have specific clothes, or do they just wear whatever is most comfortable? do they have a comfort article of clothing?

where do they tend to regress? do they mostly regress at home, at the park, at a specific friend's house? do they have a specific place they like to go once they're regressed?

do they prefer to play indoors or outdoors? do they get upset when it rains?

do they take naps? if so, do they take them at a specific time, or just nap whenever they feel like it? do they get fussy over having to take one?

what kind of things do you associate with their regression? is their a specific aesthetic or general 'vibe' you think suits them and their regression?

what is age regression to them? what do they like/dislike? are they proud of their regression, or feel a bit more insecure about it?

[not-a-normal-kiddo]

I always felt bad when I would say I’m and age regressior because I can’t fully regress but I don’t wanna be called an age dreamer,I wanna be called an age regressior.

This made me feel a bit better,thank you! :3

Shout out to age dreamers who feel invalid because they can't fully regress. Who have tried and tried to fully regress but can't. Who don't like the title "age dreamer" because they feel cut off from the rest of the age regression community. Who don't always realize they've regressed. Who don't outwardly express their regression. Or any other age dreamer. You are valid. You are seen. You are loved. You don't have to fit into a box. As long as it helps your mental health and doesn't harm yourself or others, you do you. As an age dreamer myself, I can say with full certainty, you are not alone and you are amazing. 🩷💖🩷💖

I FINALLY FOUND OUT WHAT I AM- THIS FLAG!!! 😭😭😭✋✋
