Possibly... I used to find change very distressing. My Nan was always changing the furniture around and I would have a major tantrum about it because it would upset me, and I could never settle, because the furniture was going to change. Buddhist teachings helped me because everything changes, just let it be, without the empty nappy, there cannot be the full nappySidewinder said:I'm pretty sure of that, too.
Another thing that I think contributes as well, is the fear of change.
For the longest time in my life, I've always perceived change as a negative thing, regardless of the countless times that many people in my life have told me that "change is good," or that "change is not a crisis, but an opportunity."
And a small part of that might be (and this is just pure speculation on my part) that after being potty trained and started wearing underwear, I wanted to start wearing diapers again, maybe because I didn't want to fully abandon something that was familiar to me for the first 2-3 years of my life.
I find that when you're very young, you're not as mindful as you are when you're much older.
And where this ties in with potty training, (at least for me) is not thinking about how it will affect you in the days/weeks/months/years to come.
Now I don't remember too much about when I was very young, but from what my mother told me once, I initially was very eager to be potty trained and when I finally was, I eventually ended up wanting to wear diapers again.
Looking back, I speculate that's where my fear of change probably originated.
