Aita for being disgusted by my friend’s age regression? They explained to me that it’s from trauma and that they can’t help it. However it makes me insanely uncomfortable to be hanging out with a “child”. We are in college

No it’s understandable honestly. As long as you’re still nice to them and whatnot. Maybe just distance yourself from them or talk about it with them.

using trauma to act like that and not taking accountability is childish and immature in and of itself coming from someone who had a bit of a traumatic childhood, i understand the saying “releasing your inner child” but there’s a time and a place for it. and if it’s bordering on age regression, it’s too much. NTA

No, but I wouldn't shame them for it or tell them its disgusting, just distance myself and hope they find healing

Nta. I do the same kinda thing sometimes but I either just need repetitive mundane tasks to keep my mind occupied or I need different support from my bf during my meltdowns. You will absolutely catch me with my blanky and stuffed dino but I’m still me and I’m still my age even tho I feel like I’m 6
