Honestly, as someone who has had age regression fantasies since childhood, my own age has never really bothered me. There was a time during adolescence and early young adulthood where the matter bothered me more, and I actually do have sympathy for people with BIID and the like due to that experience, but overall my sense of self has been so disconnected from my body that the fact that I cannot physically realize my fantasies doesn't bother me. That has actually kind of extended to other things like not really caring for appearance much and the like. It feels like its an avatar for interacting with the world that I don't need to worry about.
Admittedly, when it comes to AR fantasies, there is also a religious component to not caring too much about them. I find a lot of "realistic" AR scenarios to be rather depressing and often physicalist, and I really prefer for AR situations to be mixed with other fetishes like diapers, due to the degree where my "perfect" AR scenario would require a paradisiacal otherworld in order to fulfill anyway, at which point one might as well just aim for some sort of transcendent goal instead of some random worldly pleasure. Plus the false innocence of childhood is unappealing compared to the true innocence of one's own divinity, which is in truth connected to power and not weakness. Age regression just comes across as a fun thing to fantasize about but not something that would meaningfully impact my life or really be enjoyable in the long-term.
