Is it normal to be as infantile as i am?

This is the most humiliating thing I’ve ever admitted to.

Basically, I’m a childish person, which I know isn’t a bad thing (nothing wrong with liking Nintendo or stuffed animals), but I take it way to far. I’m a 20 year old that likes baby rattles, toys, baby bottles, baby blankets, ect.

To be very clear, I am NOT an adult baby (no hate if you are, just clarifying). I thought I was, but I have no desire to wear baby clothes, diapers, to sleep in a crib, ect. I’m just an adult that find comfort in baby stuff I guess.

To give a bit of back story, I’ve blocked out a lot of my childhood. It was tough at times, blah blah blah, I was sad a lot, blah blah blah, you get the idea. I know that I’m only doing this because I had a rough childhood (and probably because I’m 20 and terrified of being an adult).

All I need to know is: is this normal?

    First of all, what you are doing is a coping mechanism called regression & it's not normal, but you shouldn't be ashamed!! It's really sad to me when people struggle & are very ashamed & afraid to ask for help. This is the way you process your past struggles & pain, and while it may be embarrasing to you, you should remember that you aren't hurting anyone; you aren't hurting yourself; you aren't hurting animals...& there are much more destructive & gross ways that people process trauma. What you are doing is not the end of the world...it is not that bad...& it is not something over which you should feel ANY guilt or shame.

    If you truly hate this behavior, then i urge you to see a therapist & talk about what happened to you...it must be hard, as i can tell from your post that you avoid it, but its worth a try & there are no consequences for trying. Venting might remove a weight you never knew you were carrying.

    Not normal. You're just an adult trapped in a child's body. It'll get better as you age.

    Kinda weird that those are your comfort items. But I suppose that I still have my comfort blanket of sorts it's a pillowcase that I still use, and somehow is still in great condition. Dark blue and it always smells like home (I wash it).

      I was told there's a person with multiple accounts thumbing people down. It's kind of a waste of time since one has to spend months establishing themselves here in order to even obtain the ability to thumb people down. XD

        It's weird since the comment couldn't even be perceived as bad or anything.
