Very Specific Middle Regression Things
These are all pretty particular to me and what I could think of, so feel free to add on your own experiences!
- Scrambling up the stairs on all fours like an animal
- Seeing what will happen if you balance the light switch between on and off
- Making up extremely elaborate stories in your head as you take a shower/bath
- Trying out ridiculous makeup riiiight before you wash your face for the night so that way no-one but you sees it
- Picking out random things from the refrigerator and seeing what will happen if you cook them together
- Recreating your favorite characters on the Rinmarugames Mega Anime Avatar maker (this game is still playable it’s on dolldivine!)
- Gathering different soaps and lotions from the bathroom and mixing them together just to see what it will smell like
- Inventing personas, getting dressed up to fit the role, and then taking and editing unnecessarily dramatic pictures/videos of yourself
- Listening to music and imagining your favorite characters or OCs singing along or starring in an elaborate music video
- Coloring in your nails with sharpies or other markers, or drawing “tattoos” on your arms with them
- Pretending that you have some kind of rare magical ability and then acting like you have to hide it, vaguely alluding to your “powers” etc
- Making up code words for various real or imaginary things in your life and referring to them as such
Let me know if you do any of these things/ have done them as a preteen
