ᯓ★ tips for littles/cgs with RSD . ݁₊ ⊹ . 🌞

note: "Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is a term used to describe intense emotional pain and distress in response to real or perceived rejection or criticism." I am not a professional, these are just some personal tips<3

╰┈➤ focus on self soothing techniques, as well as self empathy and compassion. Be gentle with yourself, you didn't choose to feel these things, so don't treat yourself like you did.

╰┈➤ don't forget that your value is NOT dependant on others' opinions of you. You are your own being, and that is beautiful <3

╰┈➤ recognize everyone makes mistakes, and you are worth as much love as everyone else, even if you have emotions deeper than others.

╰┈➤ know the way you feel isn't silly or stupid, and don't diminish your feelings to being these such things.

╰┈➤ try and self soothe, whether that be through distractions like reading, journaling, etc. Use positive affirmations to combat self hatred and negative self talk

╰┈➤ identify your own triggers, keep track of how you respond to certain situations, and what may trigger episodes of major dysphoria.

╰┈➤ remember to be mindful, take deep breaths and practice grounding when you're beginning to spiral.

╰┈➤ don't be afraid to ask for reassurance, you deserve to feel safe.

╰┈➤ remember to practice the STAR method, STAR stands for Stop, Think, Act, Recover. Using this method, you can help to process larger emotions with more ease.

╰┈➤ when dwelling on a negative interaction, try and see it from a different perspective. How else may of someone meant their words?

╰┈➤ don't be afraid to seek support of friends and family, and communicate your experiences and RSD.

╰┈➤ set boundaries to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, and follow through with them. Boundaries don't make you a bad person.

╰┈➤ remember to take time for yourself. Engage in hobbies and self care, you are loved and deserve good things.

╰┈➤ if possible, seek professional help, whether through therapy or medication.

blue’s clues playground ball (2005)

i wanna go to school with other littles and have it divided by grades thru elementary ! i wanna wake up in the morning and pack my lil backpack and have a carer pack my lunch, take my sippy and maybe a favorite plush with me, get all buckled in the car and dropped off! i wanna hug my carer bye and then get to see all my little friends. we could have different activity stations and different grade levels and practice times tables, addition, or counting depending on our levels! practice sight words or read simple books, and have circle reading time! the teacher would pick a book and we could all sit on a rug in a circle and listen carefully, waiting to see the pictures! we could have chapter books like Junie B. Jones and Goosebumps for older kids, and touch and feel sight word books for littler ones! we could have coloring stations, bracelet making stations, and themed activities/crafts for seasons or holidays :3 and then have lunch time and recess outside with a big grassy field and playground!!! i wanna turn in worksheets and get stickers on them and bring activities home to my carer to have them put on the fridge :,)

Introduction

What is Age Regression?

Age regression is when someone mentally shifts into a younger state of mind. This can be a voluntary or involuntary experience, and it's often used as a coping mechanism for things like stress, trauma, or mental health struggles. When someone regresses, they may act, think, or feel like a child, toddler, or baby.

It’s non-sexual and should always be SFW.

People might use comfort items like stuffies, pacis, cartoons, or soft blankets.

It helps some people feel safe, comforted, and emotionally secure.

What is Age Dreaming?

Age dreaming (sometimes called age wanting in certain contexts) is when someone daydreams or fantasizes about being a different age, but without actually regressing. It’s more of a creative, fun, or identity-based experience, and isn’t always tied to coping or mental health.

It can be like imagining yourself as a kid, teen, or even a different age entirely.

It’s often more about aesthetic, comfort, or self-expression.

Unlike regression, people in an age dream state usually stay aware of their current age and don’t mentally shift.

Why Might Someone Regress?

1. Mental Health & Coping

To escape overwhelming emotions like anxiety, depression, or stress.

As a way to feel safe during or after trauma or flashbacks.

To manage dissociation or emotional shutdowns.

2. Neurodivergence

Many autistic and ADHD individuals naturally regress when overstimulated, under pressure, or seeking comfort.

Regression can help with emotional regulation or sensory overwhelm.

3. Comfort & Safety

It brings back the warm, safe feeling of being cared for or protected.

Helps with inner healing, especially for unmet childhood needs.

Some regress to recreate a childhood they never had.

4. Inner Child Work

Regression can be part of reconnecting with your inner child.

It allows people to explore past emotions in a safe, nurturing way.

Sometimes encouraged in therapy for healing purposes.

5. Just for Fun!

Some people regress because it’s cozy and fun!

Playing with toys, watching cartoons, or cuddling stuffies brings joy and relaxation—no deep reason needed.

Voluntary vs Involuntary?

Voluntary regression is when someone chooses to enter a younger headspace on purpose.

You decide when, where, and how to regress.

You might use triggers like cartoons, stuffies, or soft music.

It's usually done for comfort, self-care, or fun.

You stay aware of your current age even if you’re acting younger.

Involuntary regression happens without trying or planning it—it just happens, usually in response to emotional or mental triggers.

Can be caused by trauma, stress, overstimulation, or flashbacks.

You might suddenly feel younger, helpless, or confused.

It’s often harder to control or snap out of.

Sometimes people don’t realize they’ve regressed until afterward.

Disclaimers !

Note that age regression/dreaming is ALWAYS 100% NON-KINK/SFW. Age regression is usually used as a coping mechanism; do not make fun of anyone's regression. Respect a regressor's boundaries. SYSTEMS ARE 100% VALID WHEN THEY HAVE LITTLE ALTERS! Terms that are nsfw are such as cgl, ddlg, kink, littlespace (sometimes, unfortunately!) and most abbreviations. Appropriate abbreviations are things like Agere, Agereg, Petre, Agedre, Petdre, Cg (just caregiver, or crgv or a less similar to cgl abbreviation.) SFW meaning safe for work. all age regression is SFW. there is no such thing as NSFW agere; that's just kink invading privacy. Minors & Adults are both capable of age regressing or caregiving. there is not a "right" way to regress other than keeping kink out of the community.

A term for those who's age changes is called a "Age-shifter"! It's a term I came up with, but it works pretty well!
