Repression

To avoide doing or even thinking about something you want to do very much. The main reason for not doing it is fear of guilt or losing the respect from a parent or peer. In fact, you make yourself believe that you really don't even want to do the thing you are repressing.

Shasha: "Cindy, do you want to go clubbing and get wasted? Maybe we will pick up some guys."

Cindy:" No, my mom won't approve and dancing and guys shouldn't be appealing to me anyway. I think I will stay home, knit and drink water. Yeah! that sounds much more fun!"

Shasha (to self) : "She has repression bad"

Age Regression

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!"
