Get the Repetitive refresh syndrome mug.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).

given the wordcosmological argument/word, the universe must have a beginning. the notion that the universe's origin came about by the random forming of particles in space, there must have been something to first put those particles there. whatever that something is, it must exist outside of time and always exist, lest you get into a series of arguments going further and further back until you have infinite regress.
example: the being 'linda' created all the particles that formed the earth, but who created linda? the being 'bill' created linda, but who created bill? etc. the argument goes on forever until there is a beginning, which was initially required according to the wordcosmological argument/word.
