This literally namedrops a company selling stuffed bears. This has to be an ad.
The way it’s written is weird too.
It could also be a problem if people used their stuffed animals to avoid other issues, said Dr. Barbara Greenberg, a clinical psychologist in Weston, Connecticut.
Like, who even does that? Why mention this?
Americans are absolutely insane about ever cutting anyone the tiniest bit of slack
On the other hand, someone out there will be purchasing more and more stuffed animals as a consumer coping mechanism to cope with their soul destroying life circumstances.
bet you $5 dr barbara greenberg only exists as a chatgpt hallucination
You need to purchase separate stuffies for each issue.
I worked for a long time doing 80 hour work weeks doing hard construction with a hammer that was less than high end. I did this for almost a decade. I now have tendonitis that while manageable irritates me when I sleep. My arms will go numb in the night now, and it’s really annoying. My wife has a shit ton of these stupid pillow animals called squishmallows, and if I sleep with one in between my arms my arms don’t go numb for some reason. So now I have to sleep with these stupid squishmallows like a five year old.
You call them stupid and say they’re for five year olds in the same paragraph you say that they are your wife’s and she likes them enough to have several.
my partner has all their stuffed animals arranged everywhere and it’s really cute and i love it

Please don’t misgender people
Those things are cute as fuck and it’s okay to say that you enjoy that aspect.
i looked at a cute thing once and my man balls fell off, still think cute is cool?
I have a panda squishmallow that I use. I was going through severe anxiety and panic attacks, and during an attack I reached for it to keep my body from convulsing too hard. Since that day, It hasn’t left my bed for several years now, and despite my anxiety much more managed, I find it helps with arm/shoulder numbness too.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: “cuddles are praxis”

I have this seal, it’s the best
I (m41) have a gorilla that I adopted at twentysomething cause somebody gifted it to my mother and she didn’t like it. But that somebody was gifted the poor guy and she didn’t like it so she gifted it away. Well long story short poor gorilla had a chain of reject giveaways until I decided “it’s mine and it stays with me” sometimes I brush him clean him and sleep with him but seems I’m a messy sleeper and he ends on the floor. 😅
I have cuddly cats, so there’s no space for a fake animal.
My cat had a couple favorite toys she brings with her and also leaves one where I sit on the couch, one next to the toilet and one in my spot on the bed. She’s the best.
My stuffed animals: two big ass weighed blankets that I pile on top of me.
The damn infantilization of grown adults. Jk it’s me, I’m adults.
