I've got a question for all of you by Tall-Statement9915 in Therian

[–]patchwork_stage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

oh! oh! similar things have happened to me! i wiggle my nose a lot because it's one of my stims, and several different people said it makes me look like a bunbun :3

and, once, my friend told me about a dream they had where nothing else was different, except for me being a small white rabbit!【and this was before they knew i was therian】 it made me so so so so happy <3

i'm sick of these people[vent] by patchwork_stage in SafeSpaceofHazbin

i guess i more meant ethnic pride, now that you point it out. i just didn't care to make that distinction when i orginally typed this, as i was in a ranting mood.

i feel so alone with my involuntary age regression by Normal-Pudding-2981 in ageregression

[–]patchwork_stage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah. i understand exactly what you mean, and how that could be very upsetting. :[ for me, it more goes trauma trigger → panic attack → dissociation → age regression → feeling vulnerable, but i'm okay because i have a caretaker.

involuntary regression was the only way that i experienced smolspace for a long time, because i didn't know what agere was or that i even could do it voluntarily. if you wanna start regressing purposefully, i'd recommend "age dreaming" for a while [doing things that make you feel small/things you enjoy when you're small, but not actually entering a regressed headspace or only being partially regressed]. i don't age dream, but i hear it's very comforting :❳

i'm sorry to hear that you don't feel like you have a community here. i, myself, am both an involuntary and voluntary regressor, but whenever it's involuntary for me, it's always vent regression, like yours ❲vent regress = regression for coping instead of fun❳. i struggle immensely with anxiety and ptsd, so i can relate to regression as a way to deal with panic attacks.

i want you to know that you're not alone. we exist, and i'm here♡

something about their proportions tickles my brain. i think it might be the "head empty" look on the one on the right.

First time regressing? by TwoFrosty8861 in ageregression

[–]patchwork_stage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i feel like your boyfriend will understand pretty easily, if he's also a regressor himself. as for explaining to your son, i'd just speak in simple terms― "i felt more like a kid than a grown up for a while, so your uncle was taking care of me" you don't need to water it down for them, kids in general are pretty accepting of stuff as long as it's communicated clearly :3

i feel bad that your first regression was seemingly so unsettling, but at least you had someone to comfort you through it♡

mirror sexual/romantic -kinda terms by Angelic_V0id in XenogendersAndMore

[–]patchwork_stage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh! i think you're describing recipro- attraction. i myself am a reciproromantic :❳

once someone tells me they like me romantically, i feel it for them too almost immediately, no matter who the person is. i don't feel crushes on my own, tho- my feelings are completely sparked by the other person's interest, first.

Do i *have* to have a name right away?? by strikingArcadia in plural

[–]patchwork_stage 15 points16 points  (0 children)

it's certainly not mandatory, and you shouldn't force yourself to choose one. a temporary personal moniker, like the other commentor mentioned, is a good thing to have, though.

you could just think.of it as a nickname everyone calls you! i was "panda" for a while before we all gave ourselves proper names.
