(idk if the tag its right, sorry abt that but this was the one that i think its the best for this topic)

So no one knows that I regress. I dont think my family even knows what that is, and the only person that might have a clue that I regress its an old ex partner, that I never explicitly told them. But I do want to tell my closest friends. I cant justify when they notice i have a plushie with me (I carry one with me for comfort like 90% of my time) with "im going to see my little cousins after this" or something along those lines forever. I cant find a good excuse when most of my food its 'baby food' or why i carry toys with me sometimes. Usually I just dont do it when i know i am going to see them, but if i get stressed and I dont have anything with me to comfort me its like the worst feeling ever.

But two of them did and do jokes abt regressors, like really mean jokes whenever that subject is brought up.

I struggle to create deep bonds with people, and I know that if they dont respect me its because they were never true friends to begin with but I do care a lot for them and I dont want to lose them.

Maybe the best decision its to not tell anyone, but that makes me embarresed of who I am, so whenever I regress I feel stupid and ashamed.

Please help any advice is useful, even if its just you telling how you told other people and their reaction <3

Hey, ik this is not a community abt pet regression but I though that perhaps I can find more advice and tips here (bc there are more members, and its a question that can also be applied to age regressors)

I feel stupid whenever I do it. I struggle with mental health and I do like the idea of pet regression and it genuinely comforts me, but the few times I had the chance to try (i dont live alone ) I end up feeling stupid. I talked to a person that is an age regressors and they told me they used to feel the same. Idk how i can overcome this. Perhaps its just my internal prejudice but idk what to do
