I'm not attacking you personally.

But infantilism is ... no, just no.
Society cannot function with a bunch of infantile adults relying on securities of the past.
We have to mature and thrive as a society and any infantile that's over age is just a drain.

I don't believe you understand what infantilism is then.

It's a regression stage we can easily put ourselves into BY CHOICE, I am ontop of being infantilist, a mature person who can handle life as it is put before me....Having infantile securities as a past time and part of me just helps me get through life with a smile instead of a sulk. ^_^

I perfectly understand that it's your choice.
What I'm saying is that an infantilist should find healthier outlets to express themselves, instead of acting like a child. heart

These are my opinions.
Wearing a daiper is foolish. You have a bladder; you can control it.
Little things like that.

I can see cuddling a plush or being held by your mother or father in a time of distress.

But sucking on a pacifier and other extreme versions are just silly.
And a bit disturbing.
You (people in general) have matured into an adult. They can protect themselves better than children can.

May I ask what makes you feel good and secure and what you do to get away from life?

Look at what you do, it's probably what people see as 'normal', but can you define normal?

For infantilists, they are harming NO ONE...Not putting themselves at any risk, and even if they perhaps may look a little odd...Are for the most part, highly mature intellectuals whom have matured so fast they missed their childhood or people whom had issues which made their childhood very sad and they HAD to grow up and be independent...

Ever wished you could take back yesterday?

We don't wish. We DO.

That second reason you stated, the "people whom had issues which made their childhood sad and they had to grow up" explains perfectly the best reason that I too am an infantilist. I've not had the most pleasent childhood, and oftentimes I've wished that I could regress and just be a child again. When I was a child I wasn't cuddled as much as I would have liked to be, my mom having raised me on her own and was always too worried about her next bill payment or the such to just spend an extra five minutes with me. I grew up alot faster than other kids my age, both mentally and emotionally. I would try to detach myself from things because I knew that I wouldn't be able to keep them for long, such as a pacifier that was originally for a favorite doll (real pacifier, lost the one that came with the doll itself.) that I often used to get me to sleep. Even at 9-10 years of age. I've been clingy and needy of a little extra attention from the lack of it during actual childhood, and I had to find ways to comfort myself when trouble striked. If I woke up crying, my mom wouldn't even be there to hear me, she'd be at work, leaving me alone to face my own fears and comfort myself. That's where the pacifier and clingyness comes in to place for me. I think everyone has their own little mood swings, but for some of us (especially infantilist) they come a bit more often, and sometimes include little tantrums or 'hissy fits', or even periods of time in which you just want to lie down and whimper/cry.

Eh, I guess I've been trying to just put this into view for everyone who may not see it the way an infantilist does. And trust me, I've done tons of thinking about this in so many views, from the parent's view, the infantilst's view, and even an outsider.

Danny, hope ya don't mind me sharing this all, it's actually helping me alot. sweatdrop I've been trying to put it into a different perpective, one that some of the people on the board may not see.

It's not an 'issue' for me, but I was pretty much the same, both my parents were always working and had babysitters look after me, they smothered me in gifts and material posessions and never actually took a few seconds away from life just to let me know how much I really mean to them.
I was a brat in school because of my ADHD and I was oft' more in trouble than I was cuddled...
I was eventually kicked out of school for attacking the head mistress whom had dragged me down the corridor by the neck of my shirt, effectively semi-choking me.
So...I ended up missing ALOT of schooling and I had to mature RAPIDLY to catch up, I was reading adult books by 4 years old and could already name all the cars on the road by 7. By 9 I'd already broke into several computers, bypassed keypad security codes and was heavily into K-nex or however it's spelt, it which, I made several working items including a mini crane and a car, all without guide kits.

And I never got praised for my rapid intellectual burst...Just got given more work, and to be honest, it pissed me off...

Now? Three businesses, two college courses, one self study course and I've just took on script writing for an hand-drawn online comic...

Can you really blame me for wanting to regress and be small again?

This thread beguiles me with it's jejune obfustication.

My advice to any infantilist out there:

Ice cold strawberry milk in a bottle.

Heaven. <3

Okay, discussion topic - Favourite infantilist item and why it is special to you

For none infantilists: Any input on what you think makes infantilism the state you believe it to be?

[TwilightProphecy]

Infantilism...hmmm...dont truly know if i am one but i wear diapers but dont use them...still i dont think thats enough to be classified as a infantilist.

That's known as 'DL' in the AB/DL community, you don't want all the fuss but you want the items. DL basically stands for Diaper Lover, and the term is easily mixed with AB and sometimes integrated with AB. (Adult Baby.) There are several Diaper Lovers who aren't infantilists.

If you wish to meet Diaper lovers, infantilists and adult babies.

Wow...So it's Mothering Sunday and my mom is at work and I have no care-taker mom to fuss over. I feel kinda down. v_v

Anyways.

Infantilists, what have you done for your mommies today if you have one?

[Nu Dragoste Pisici]

Well, it's a bit creepy- but hey, do what ya want.

I personally hate pacifiers, and I don't believe I've ever used one.
