Is Sleeping With Soft Toys As An Adult A Bad Thing?

ADVERTISEMENT

I know that no one is going to respond to this but I'm going to ask anyway.I was asking this because I was talking to my mum when I was in bed last night and basically I said that I'm still going to sleep with my soft toys when I'm an adult. She then started yelling at me and said that sleeping with soft toys as an adult is a "huge red flag" and a "sign of emotional immaturity or stunted development" and called me a "weirdo" for saying that I thought it wasn't that bad. So I was wondering if you thought it was weird?

As a teen who is only a few years away from being an adult, I say that here is absolutely nothing wrong with it! I have an insanely huge collection of plushies that I sleep with, and I will continue to sleep with them probably forever! I think it's totally normal, and I know adults who sleep with soft toys!

I live alone, and I need something to cuddle. It is not strange.

I don't generally sleep with a soft toy (though I probably did until my ealy 20s) but every so often I will get out my teddy I've had since I was born. My sister is 23 and she has between 1 and 5 soft toys every night. I think there is much less stigma about it these days, whether you are living with a partner or not.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
