hi! are you trying to figure out if you're a little?

anyone can be an age-regressor, it's not something most people are born with the ability or inability to do. if you find yourself entering the headspace of someone younger than your current age, then you're probably a little.

people who regress aren't always aware of their regression when it happens. i've heard some people say that they can't tell the difference between having childish interests and age-regression, but the major difference is feeling younger than your current age, even if it's only by a few years. i've known littles who go into teen space, so they feel thirteen or so when they're several years older than that, and i've known littles who go into baby space. it's a large age spectrum.

i'd think of it this way: when people treat you like you're younger than you are, does it make your head feel fuzzy and make you feel small? if someone were to refer to you as little and treat you as someone much littler than your body age, would that feel comfortable or infantilizing? does enjoying childish media or pacifiers make you feel small, or do you just feel like your normal self? that's all stuff to try to consider.

i hope this is helpful!
