    Yeah I get the feeling that grown adults who still cling to stuffed animals are also clinging to some hard-core [doesn’t have to be hard-core at all, when I think about it] unresolved emotional baggage as well. Which is fine, but it should be processed. ❤️

      Definitely could be… but I also imagine some people just think they are cute / neat

        Definitely. Just the perceived need to sleep and cuddle with inanimate things feels different from thinking they are cute.

        I think some birds are cute but I don’t want to cuddle or sleep with them in my bed, even if they were clean enough for it to be okay.
