62 year old guy.
I was given a bear when I was born. His name is Growl. I have never once been ashamed of him or hidden him away.
Much more recently (last 10 or 15 years) I was gifted a Build-a-bear Chewbacca. I will never hide him away either.
Wait - - the ones my wife has? Ah, silly me, I am not dating.
But I’d also not hide my transformers or gaming stuff.
I’ve had girlfriends steal my plushies. Now they stay in a locked cabinet (the plushies) until I know who I can trust.
Thanks for clarifying that it’s your plushies that you keep locked up. Otherwise, I would have a lot more questions.
The girlfriends are in the other one
honestly I was scared I was going to be locked up by the last one.
I seldom get emotional when watching the news, but when I see a child hugging a stuffed animal in a warzone, or when you see a dirty stuffed animal in on the ground after an attack, that really stings.
Stuffed animals are symbols of innocence, love and security.
I am a 37 year old man, I have my childhood stuffed animals on a chest of drawers next to my bed, and my stuffed toad I got from my mom and have had my entire life is in the top 5 items I would try to save from a fire.
Naw, cute!
I also have a stuffed beanbag frog/toad called “Fleagle” from when I was a toddler and I keep it in my nightstand. It’s the only thing I still have from back then and I feel that same way.
We have a moose that goes on trips with us. I recently made a tiny 3D printed version that we call his “drones”. They go on the bike rides, hikes, etc.
While I don’t have an stuffed animal, I do have an mood pillow that I stitched and fixed for over 20y now. I can’t sleep without it, it’s part of me
Both my wife’s and my stuffed teddies have now been retired. They now sit, cuddled together, overlooking the bedroom. On a shelf, in pride of place. Their tour of service done, but not forgotten.
overlooking the bedroom
Front row seats then
Read ‘both my wife and my stuffed teddies’ without the 's and got very concerned
Lol same. It was an emotional roller coaster. I felt sad and then confused until I reread it.
Had a giant stuffed ladybug nearly all my life. Somehow abandoned it and just recently, after a few years, discovered that I now need a pillow to hug at night. Miss you, giant ladybug :(
IKEA has giant ladybug pillows!
Everyone I date has so many more stuffed animals than I do. I get stuffy envy. 🥺
Never too late to build your collection, however big or small. My SO got one of those chonky seal plushy about 4 years ago, and they almost never goes away without it now. When I see them leave with their big hiking backpack, the seal plushy squished on the side of it with one of the bag’s straps and buckles, I just feel love inside.
I’m a guy, I have a shelf of a couple of different stuffed animals. One of every dog breed I’ve had and one of each for each dog of that breed
I don’t sleep with them or play with them, I have actual living pets to do that with
At least take it off the bed tho
Why
Why do people date?
NSFW
Childish shit only women can get away with.
Date better people.
That sounds like serious insecurity.
Charmander says “boooooooh!”
Sounds like you’ve been dating the wrong people.
Why?
…no? You can have plushie toys too, and the advice goes for everyone. You deserve someone who loves you for you, with whatever hobby or habit you may feel vulnerable sharing.
Fuck no
