Age regression is a coping mechanism used by people often with ptsd, anxiety, depression or simply any sort of childhood trauma/stress. Some regressors will regress back farther then others. Ways you could possibly tell someone is a regressor, Babbling/Slurring words, Doing childish activites, Pacifiers, Stuffies, Bottles, Thumb sucking ect. A lot of people mistake age regression for age play. Age regression and age play are both very different. Age play is a kink whilst age regression is a coping mechanism.
"Hey why do ze have a pacifier?" "Oh it's because xe use age regression as a coping mechanism." "Oh nice!"

pet regression is a safe state of mind which is freeing and without responsibilities. it is like age regression in that way but the difference is instead of going into a child like mindset it's a more of a pet mindset (dog, cat, etc.) while age regression you act more child like, pet regression you act more pet like.

Pet regression is similar to age regression, although you enter the mindset of a puppy. you may yip, bark, be super playful, or find comfort in things a puppy would do (cuddling, chewing on things, wearing cute collars, etc.). This is not to be confused with DDLG or petplay, as this term is SFW (safe for work) and used by people that may have trauma.
"I use pet regression as a coping mechanism when I have flashbacks or if I'm stressed! it helps me calm down."

Another words for Social Justice Warrior. They are the mirror equivalent to the left what the conservative far right is the the republican party.
Regressive liberals are usually people who's mental genders & sexualities are so obscure that even the LGBT didn't represent them, but they've hijacked that as well & have expanded it.
Regressive liberals are usually sexist or racist but argue that only men can be sexist & that only caucasians can be racist.
Regressive liberals value feelings over facts. They want to make words that hurt their feelings illegal. They want to force people to use their preferred gender pronouns. They want to be given respect without having to earn it.
Regressive liberals tents to be in their teens & twenties, so they're incredibly hormonal with unchecked rage & are easier to trigger than a bull in a shop that only sells red dishes.
Rather than vote for a candidate that represents their actual political interests, regressive liberals tend to vote for candidates who represent their gender, race, or sexual preference.

A Social Conservative who is at odds the current social and political norms in Western Countries. Seeking to regress social progress of the country they live in back to a period before Woman's Rights, LGBTQ Rights, and Civil Rights gains made in the country they live in occurred.
A Social Regressive are ok with the disenfranchment of any social or political forces from having any say in matters of government. Going as far as to except totalitarian regimes in their country as long as such a regime regresses the social changes made in the country back to time that social conservatives deem acceptable, and then proceeding to lock out any opposition groups from being able to change things back. This includes rigging representation in the country's government to not represent any social and political groups that oppose them.
Social Regessives loath people that protest their agenda and are willing to approve of government or private groups using violence to repress groups that oppose their agenda.

The Social Regressive screamed at the School board meeting about how books that contradicted his religious views should be removed from the shelves and burned.

age regression is something where someone puts themselves(or accidentally slips) into a state of mind that of a child, baby, or toddler. the person doing so may be referred to as "little" when in little space. when said people are in little space, they are in their safe space, or their comfort zone, and should not be sexualized in any way. age regression is a form of coping for most people and is sometimes involuntary or voluntary!
person 1 - "she's acting really babyish right now what is she doing?"
person 2 - "shes in little space right now."
person 1 - "huh?"
person 2 - "its age regression."
person 2 - "shes in little space right now."
person 1 - "huh?"
person 2 - "its age regression."

A coping mechanism 4 ppl w/ PTSD, anxiety, depression, loss of childhood & other mental illnesses/issues. It's official, as some therapists recommend & encourage it. It's NOT related 2 any kind of kink, & it's in its majority a 100% sfw nonsex practice. The agere community doesn't accept kinksters or sex regressors as part of it (even tho a few people, because of sex related trauma, may practice it sexually, the agere community is a safe place for everyone & it wouldn't be fair 4 ppl w/ sex as a trigger or minors 2 be involved w/ sexual agere, also, letting them in the community would make ppl missunderstand the whole concept, & also would put agere in danger of being targeted by pedos & being attacked)
It means they regress 2 a child-like mindset! wether it be temporarily or full-time. All regressors r different! some can't help regressing & some can stop it whenever they want.
You can also regress being neurotypical & without having any trauma or issue, as 4 some ppl agere is a good way 2 be less stressed or have a funnier life style.
Agere often have "caregivers" & "baby sitters" 2 help them when regressing. Sometimes their s/o can be their cg. Sometimes they call them mommy/daddy. Most times, in cases where the caregiving isn't platonic, the sexual stuff isn't practiced while the person is regressing.
Agere regress 2 different ages. Some regress 2 baby ages, some r toddlers or kids, & some r teens.
PLEASE DON'T ASSOCIATE DDLG W/ AGERE AS IT'S HARMFUL 4 ALL REGRESSORS

-Why are you suddenly speaking like a baby?
-I got anxious so now I'm regressing.
-Oh alright!
-Why do you have a pacifier??
-I'm an age regression because my parents made me grow up too fast as a child!
-Oh okay! It's a cute paci btw!
-Why do you have SO many plushies?
-Sometimes I like to play and feel like a baby to be less stressed from work and life issues!
-Oh that's great! Should I try it?
-You use sippy cups and bath toys? Why?
-You know about me having depression and, yk, sometimes it's hard to feel motivated to shower or hydrate myself or eat or get up from bed, so regressing and having baby gear makes it so it's funny for little me to drink juice in my cute sippy cup or have fun in a bubble bath, so I don't forget or refuse to take care of myself when I'm having a hard time.
-Neat! I will buy you a bath bomb and a cute adult passing bottle for christmas then if that's okay with you!
