I'm 16--a little younger but that's ok--and I sleep with a stuffed bear. There isn't anything special about the bear, no childhood sob story or romantic origin. It's just one of those cheap valentines day bears from walgreens that my dad got me back when our parents still gave us gifts like that for valentines day.

I kind of use the bear as another pillow. Whenever I can't sleep, which thanks to many of my struggles is quite common, I grab the bear. Having something to do with my arms calms my restlessness a little, so that helps me.

To me, it is completely normal to sleep with a stuffed animal because they can be very beneficial in circumstances like mine.

No. I don’t think so. In my home the set us nice. Very mature and somewhat modern. Even my room. But I have a stuffed animal collection on my bed and I am not ashamed AT ALL.
They give you comfort, they make you happy, nobody is getting hurt. If people have a problem with that they can get the fuck on 😂 bye 👋🏾
My opinion is biased tho... so I’m probably not a credible source but there ya go ☺️💕

I'm a lot older than you and I have a soft toy on my bed. Admittedly, it's for my dog when she wants to come and sleep with me; she likes leaning against it. But yeah, it's not strange at all. Now, if you had headless dolls on your bed, or you had 100 dolls positioned around your bed, all of them staring at you from different angle, I might think that strange. Maybe even a little creepy.

I have a Killer Whale, and a Bear that are usually in my bed. I have something of a zoo, that I have collected, over decades, on some shelves, and some with Spiritual/Religious reasons.
Who said it was weird, sleeping, relaxing, and liking those?

Chaz269 · Answer

Definitely not for women. Men can probably get away with it if it's funny, or actually for a child or pet. I used to sleep with a stuffed gorilla because it calmed my puppy down. I'm quite certain that would have been unacceptable if it was just for me.

Its fine, although a few of my past BFs said it was weird only when we were having sex because it felt like he was violating something innocent by having sex in front of them. I found it cute since they weren't generally conservative or religious in anyways. :)

Kayla45 · Answer

I sleep with a stuffed bunny by my bed, had it ever since I was little. It's special to me because my grandpa bought it for me and now he's in a better place..

Unnameable · Answer

Yes, it's weird. No, it's not wrong. And it's nothing to be ashamed of. There's something weird about everyone, so embrace what makes you weird, because it's also what makes you interesting. Just don't overdo it, because that's when it gets creepy.

laurieluvsit · Answer

NO! I have a kangaroo, koala bear and 3 teddy bears that I love scattered around my room and sleep mostly with a teddy bear on my bed. Nothing wrong with it :)

Rixdare · Answer

Not necessarily - people often need comfort and stuffies are a way of getting that. Wouldn't surprise me if you have more than just that one.. and they have names too!

AuroraRoseat · Answer

Nope. I think Snooki made that "cool" around 5 years ago. ;D You're fine. If anyone is worried about who you sleep with, they seriously have no lives of their own.

DementedCutie342 · Answer

No I'm 31 and I like to sleep with a stuffed animal when my man is gone. It's comforting, it's cute and cuddly and feels nice and snuggly nothing weird about enjoying that at all.

Nope. I am 18 and I own this chubbilicious thing and I would never get rid of it. Take a look

Not at all. What matters is that you're happy with it. If you haven't noticed it, everyone has their own weird habits.

No, I don't Sleep with any Stuffed Animals.
But, I do have them.
I have a bead stuffed Turtle because when I was young I had one and it died "Not gonna say how that happened".
I also have many beanie babies.

Danny_dan92 · Answer

Lol well the stuffed shark is kinda cool. But if it was something like a teddy bear or something I would think there’s something wrong

Dark93 · Answer

It's not weird for a girl. As a guy I got rid of all of my stuffed animals by age 10. The sentimental ones were put into a bin in the attic for when I have kids someday.
