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.

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.

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

At least take it off the bed tho

Everyone I date has so many more stuffed animals than I do. I get stuffy envy. 🥺

Childish shit only women can get away with.

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

Read 'both my wife and my stuffed teddies' without the 's and got very concerned

…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.

I've had girlfriends steal my plushies. Now they stay in a locked cabinet (the plushies) until I know who I can trust.

[bradleyuffner@lemmy.world]

Sounds like you've been dating the wrong people.

[jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works]

Thanks for clarifying that it's your plushies that you keep locked up. Otherwise, I would have a lot more questions.

[jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works]

Lol same. It was an emotional roller coaster. I felt sad and then confused until I reread it.

Front row seats then

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.

[strider@lemmy.world]

Wait - - the ones my wife has? Ah, silly me, I am not dating.

But I'd also not hide my transformers or gaming stuff.
