Sometimes it's just good to take a step back, have a juice box and a snack, and let your mind go. If what you're doing is just 100% by yourself, though, sometimes trying to put a label to what you're experiencing is just overcomplicating things. And that's okay too, no less welcome to the community here. You don't necessarily have to cognitively regress to take part in voluntary age regression, though.Īnd some people may not necessarily feel like they "regress", but just have childish interests and comforts. DDLG often is more a role play, so though they may get into a mindset, they haven't actually had any cognitive regression. It's easy to slip into that mindset when interacting with things that you associate with that mindset.Ī big thing with age regression is a lot of people experience some level of cognitive regression. People can find stress relief in so many different kind of activities and a "headspace" in anything that requires a different mindset than their usual one. ![]() The big difference is that age regression is a coping mechanism and a hypnotherapy, where as DDLG is an exclusively 18+ power dynamic and can be sexual or non-sexual (but being non-sexual doesn't make it LESS 18+ because it's still a power exchange). Well, the term "little" is (modernly) used by both communities to refer to someone who takes on a childish role (either voluntarily or involuntarily). I feel like I’ve learned a lot and while I’m still not completely sure where I fall, understanding that there truly is a wide spectrum for how people experience these communities (age regression, ddlg, cgl, abdl, etc.) is extremely helpful. If anyone has insight or advice, it would be greatly appreciated.ĮDIT: I highly appreciate all of the insight, perspectives, and experiences shared. I don’t want to end up offending anyone in either community by misusing a particular label. ![]() I guess I’m wondering how I can best distinguish between the two for myself and where I fit. However, I’ve also read that for some in a ddlg dynamic (ones that specifically aren’t nsfw) slipping into little space, can sometimes occur in a similar manner. This sounds (please correct me if I’m wrong) like age regression. But it helps me often destress unintentionally, though I usually have to be mindful in areas where it is not ok. It’s slow, and occasionally I get stuck in a weird between state. I’ll find something cute, and it’s like that’s all I can focus on until I feel small. It goes in circles and I’m struggling to make sense of what is what with so much overlap and disagreement between the two communities.įor me personally, I find I don’t choose to necessarily feel “little”. However, I’ve also seen those who age regress refer to themselves as “littles” in some cases. But some say that it’s age regression, not little space, and that littles and age regressors are different things entirely-kink dynamic vs coping. I originally thought that ddlg was that “little feeling” I often feel. ![]() I’ve been doing lots of research over the past few years, but I’ve come to some confusion time and time again.
