Age regression is when a person, (could be underage or not) reverts to a childlike state, mostly to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and other things that might affect your day-to-day life. Though, sometimes it is just done for fun. People who age regress can regress on purpose, or unintentionally. It is a completely non-sexual thing, and is not to be mistaken with Age play, which involves roleplaying as a child and sexual activities (sometimes). When you experience age regression, it can be called little space, middle space, or big space. Little Space is when someone regresses to a younger state of mind, usually being 1-8. Middle space is when someone regresses to a younger state of mind, usually 9-12. And big space is when you regress only a few years back, usually being 13-15. People who regress to a younger state, usually might need help doing simple things like making their own food or brushing their teeth. That's where a caregiver comes in! Most people with a significant other, have a cg (caregiver). And their job consists of taking care of their little whilst they are in little space, middle space, or big space. Age regression is a wonderful coping mechanism overall and is not a bad thing anyone should be ashamed of.
"I love stuffed animals, it helps me regress alot easier!"
"What is with the pacifier, are you a baby or something?" No, they just Age Regress!"
"Age regression helps me cope!"

Such examples include sexism against women by virtue of their gender, denouncement of racism while simultaneously denouncing people of color by virtue of their skin color, denouncement of any economic philosophy alien to Capitalism, Christian apologetics, Islamophobia, American Exceptionalism, etc.

Some on the Regressive Right completely ignore the entire Bill of Rights except for the 2nd amendment, disregarding the benefits of secularism under the pretense that America is a Christian nation.

Age Regression is a completely non-sexual coping mechanism. There are people that intentionally regress to deal with heavy stress and stuff, and there are people that involuntarily regress, too. If typing, some regressors may type more like this: "Hewwo! Is *name*, and I is *insert young age*! Is nice meets you!"
Person 1: Why is *insert person* acting so immature, like a child?
Person 2: Oh, that's because they use Age Regression, or agere, to cope with issues they are having!

Age regression is when someone has the mentality of a younger age than their genuine age. This could happen involuntary due to (childhood) trauma and/or a brain injury/damage. Or voluntary as a coping mechanism and way of relaxation. Common signs in kids include a little-age between 1 and 3, thumb sucking, crawling, etc. Common signs in teens include a little-age of 1-12, gibberish or pitched voice, sensitiveness, interest for things meant for kids, etc. Common signs in adults could include a little-age of 1-20, any of the called symptoms depending on age, etc. Adults could also be regressed back to their teenage years instead of their childhood. The younger someone’s mentality is drifted, the more they are in need of a caregiver (to be taken care of).
“Tommy is five, why is he still sucking his thumb?”
“His parents are divorced. He is acting like a baby because it has put a lot of stress on him.”
“Why does that boy act so childish?”
“He has the mentality of an 11 year old due to childhood trauma, because he got bullied in his past. It is called age regression, he is basically regressing.”
