I can’t be reminded of childish things without getting really sad. Whether it’s a baby crying, kids toys or cute animals it makes me regress in a way. It makes me give up any sort of ‘adult’ confidence I have and revert to being a sensitive kid again who just wants to be cuddled by my mum or play again. I didn’t go through any childhood trauma. I’m a huge sperg and as a teenager I never had any friends or moved on like everyone else did so I wonder if it’s a sign of that. I work but don’t have any friends or do anything adult so I haven’t grown up much but when I think about maybe trying to act a bit ‘adult’ for once I think about how I’m going to regress and it’s holding me back. I want to stop this, how can I do this?

>I didn’t go through any childhood trauma.
Maybe not in a *traditional* sense.
>I have and revert to being a sensitive kid again who just wants to be cuddled by my mum or play again.
Perhaps there's part of the childhood experience that you missed out on?
> I work but don’t have any friends or do anything adult so I haven’t grown up much
It sounds like you lacked the full childhood experience with friends, so being in that energy or frame of mind is more comfortable than being an adult. You basically say so yourself.

What you need to do is force yourself into adult situations. You need to do things which take you out of the house where you wallow in doing whatever it is you currently do.

>I’m a huge sperg
This is probably the root of it and should be your main focus. You need to determine a few things:

*What exactly is the regression holding me back from and what is my goal, past stopping the regressive thoughts?
*Why am I this way?
*Is being this way a good or bad thing?
*If bad, imagine: "would a former sperg who moved forward say they did to get to reach the goals I have?"
*If good, imagine: "what would a sperg who's successful in life be doing to reach the goals I have?"

Note, I'm separating the sperg thing from the regression. I don't really know what a sperg is, but it's likely just a false view you have of yourself and how you characterize being a little bit different than "normal" people, whatever "normal" even means. That's why you need to determine if it's truly a good or bad thing. Is it bad to be different, or are you really just overthinking and projecting a negative view on yourself for no good reason?

I will also say: you need to eat healthily, get fresh air, and be a bit active, even if it's just exercising at home. With focused thought and a dedication to searching within yourself, you will definitely find the answers. You do not need a therapist. You just need to learn yourself. All of the answers are inside you.

But I’m trying to not be like this.

I’m not one of those people who puts on diapers and pretends to be a baby and I don’t use Discord because I have no friends. I just watch shows I used to watch as a kid, hug stuffed animals and cry for a bit. I know it’s faggoty but I don’t really care anymore.

>Perhaps there's part of the childhood experience that you missed out on?
I had a great childhood, maybe it’s because I miss it so much. I had friends, siblings, went out with my family and friends a lot and generally was happy. My parents had anger issues and rough childhoods themselves but they did their best for me and my siblings.
Wait, is this reply ChatGPT? I can’t tell anymore

>>33344574
No, the reply isn't ChatGPT. I spent a fuckton of time dealing with captchas and verifying emails and mistyping the email to get that to you lol. I note that you answered one basically tangential question and ignored the rest of what I said. Did you get nothing from anything else I said? Because what you need to do is the same regardless of the answer to the question you decided to focus on.

>>33344574
I dont think thats age regression

>>33344585
Sorry. I'm not sure what's real of not anymore. But I have read what you said and will spend time thinking about it because I don't know the answers as of now. One minute I think it's a good thing I'm like this, the next I want to change. Thank you for your advice though, I didn't mean to discard it.
>>33344745
I couldn't think of a better way to describe it.

Do you think it's even possible for you to be otherwise if you claim to be a sperg

Your childhood is fucking DEAD, time to pay your last respects and bury it's dead corpse.

Be grateful you had a good childhood free of trauma, most people aren't as fortunate and had to grow up at a very young age.
