Addicted To Living As An Adult Baby | My Strange Addiction

Riley, a 25 year old woman, spends twelve hours a day living as an adult baby. She wears diapers, sleeps in a crib, and drinks from a baby bottle. Her addiction costs her over $400 a month, but she wants to live as a baby for as long as she can.

Imagine her inviting you to her crib and you go in and see a literal crib

"Riley wears at least three diapers every day"
"That's over 1000 diapers a year"

*We didn't even ask for that*

i feel so sorry for her. she’s clearly gone through so much trauma and age regressing helps her. i hope she’s okay. she seems like such a sweet person

This isn't a weird addiction. This is age regression because of trauma.

"its my little secret"

TLC: Riley hasn't been able to find a long term relationship.
Me: Same and I ain't even an adult baby

Glad that people are realizing that this is not an addiction but a coping mechanism due to trauma.

I was never treated as a kid when I was younger.. I was like 8 and 9 and my family always laughed at me for playing games or watching kids tv shows so I stopped and I grew up mentally so fast that I'm now 16 but I feel like a 30 year old woman..
I feel you Riley and I get why having a childhood is so important so do what makes you happy!

She is trans, was raised as a boy and is now living out the female infancy/childhood that she missed out on.
This actually makes a lot of sense.

Riley: Ey wanna come to my crib this Saturday?
Friend: Yea sure
*when he gets there*
Friend: *oH, so it's a LegiT criB?*

I remember seeing this on TV as a kid, and thinking it was weird. Now as an adult, it makes sense to me that this is her coping mechanism, and like people below have said, probably a way to live the childhood she didn’t get to have, since she’s trans. I wish Riley and her loved ones well.

At least she’s expressing herself in a healthy way that doesn’t harm herself or others. Kind of understand the ‘I want to relive my life a different way’, especially after missing out on my graduation and last year of school bc of covid in 2020, sometimes you can’t help but think ‘I wish my life was different?’

yeah that's not an addiction. This is some serious layers of trauma, gender dysphoria, anxiety etc etc

3:26 this face scared me to death, and it will be in my nightmares tonight

riley actually did a follow-up video a while back talking about her experience on this show, it's really interesting! she's a very intelligent woman and has worked in the TV industry herself so her input and knowing what it was like behind the scenes is very cool. she's a good representation of this subculture/community i think, she's smart and well-spoken and just seems like such a lovely human being

[OutyMan]

"Few people know of Riley's addiction."
I won't tell anyone, man.

[whalecat]

This isn't an addiction. This obviously goes down to some kind of trauma.
Edit: I have been told it's called "age regression"

[ravins]

This is not an addiction this is from trauma, as someone who regressed due to sexual abuse and a living through someone taking cover in a school after robbing a store and having a shoot out at my school, she is not addicted this is a way of coping this is trauma. I hope she can eventually and hopefully lose these memories. BEST OF LUCK RILEY

This isnt an addiction, this is like a condition, it mostly happens when people get abused as children. It may be weird for some people, but its actually really sad.

[girlandherguitars]

This is not a addiction, it’s age regression, she is a little, she uses it to cope with trauma and things like that.
