What if I told you that regression is regression and is all the same whether or not it's "pure" or "impure." What if I told you that trying to reinvent these labels in a way that's supposed to be progressive and inclusive just further alienates those whose regression is a result of mental illness, and that doing so is an attempt at detaching yourself from severely mentally ill regressors that you are much more similar to than people who don't age regress. What if I told you that truly healthy regression is supposed to include being cathartic and experiencing "ugly" emotions and being vulnerable.

What if. Imagine..

#I originally made this post months ago and then shoved it into my drafts because I hate the idea of stirring up drama #in a community where we're all just a bunch of babies #But it's crossed my mind too many times that I just feel like I Should say something about it.#To put it bluntly.. throughout all this talk about how regressors with trauma and mental illness are valid #(which I believe is why the majority of us are here for in one way or another)#a lot of people here do not like to share a space with us and will do everything to detach themselves from us.#I encourage you to truly ask yourself why that is and why you so desperately want to keep reinventing these labels for regression #that quite frankly don't need to be made separate because of the purely psychological nature of age regression.#I'm telling you. Non mentally ill or developmentally disabled or traumatized people are much less likely to regress to a kid or baby #so what good does it do to try and separate yourself from your own community members?#community
