age regression isnt something to be enjoyed! to know if you have it - it usually comes as a result of trauma, have you got trauma that led to you acting a particular way?
symptoms include:
baby talk
sucking on your thumb
whining
needing a comfort toy such as a teddy
sucking on other objects
being mute
lying in fetal position
rocking yourself
etc.
if you find that the symptoms do match… speak to a doctor or a psychiatrist asap!!!!
but please remember, it is not something that is ‘fun to have’ its a diagnosed illness which affects your life in unimaginable ways.

I under stand that and I don't think I'm an age regressor even though some of the symptoms do fit I think childish things are just something that I enjoy and make me feel comfortable and I did not mean to offend anyone

Age regression doesn't ONLY come from trauma, you can age regress from stress or anxiety as well. Not all age regression is regressing to a baby or toddler state either. Age regression is usually a coping mechanism, yes. But many people enjoy it when they regress. I did read the OP's response and they are probably just an age dreamer. "age dreaming, or agedre, is an umbrella term for people who experience a self-induced headspace of feeling younger, behaving childlike, and enjoying childlike aesthetics - it is a term for those who don't fit under traditional regression terms because age dreaming is not age regression." is the definition from agedre carrd.
