Are you ever too old to have stuffed animals?

Question

Craftsman · Accepted Answer

I'm turning 70 years old in a little over a month, and I have a headboard full of stuffed animals, and I have a watch-bear sitting on the desk at the foot of my bed. My mother had a bear and other critters within reach up until the day she departed this earthly plane. A friend's mother had a bear and quite a stuffed menagerie nearby when she passed into the beyond, at age 102 and one half years old.
Short answer: Never too old.

Nonsense, if you like them keep them. I got this guy. He's about the size of a twin bed.

I used to have a stuffed lion that I had to have sleep with me every night. When ever I felt threatened or unloved I would cuddle with my lion. I still have my lion today, a bit thread bare and worn now, but he used to sit on my bookshelf for years. I just never unpacked him from my last move. I may have been little at the time, just like my lion, but I felt like he was big and strong and could protect me, always.

Nah. I’m 35 years old and still put my teddy bear on my bed when I make it in the morning. I still have my old Winnie the Pooh doll that I’ve had since I was a baby and every Christmas I pull out my Disney Christmas dolls. I don’t care if people think I’m too old lol

JackSmy · Answer

Of course not!! My mom is 76, and has more Whinnie-the-Pooh stuffed toys than I knew existed!!
When you are sick, what is better than a HUGE teddy bear to lay on (in a position that helps you breathe!!) and also is super-soft, and just that tactile contact reminds you, maybe of being cared for as a child, and good memories?
What idiot ever said that there is a specific age, when you are too 'Grown up' to love having a soft, cuddly stuffed friend!!
Maybe if more of the uptight, angry, people in power just relaxed, and slept with a soft cuddly friend, not necessarily a bear, but any animal, then maybe they would relax, and wake up, feeling more HUMAN, and less like an ASSHOLE!!
Maybe the world would be a better place then.

Well, it's fine to keep your childhood stuffed animal in a display case or tucked away somewhere. But clumps of them on your bed is unusual. If you're still sleeping with yours, you might want to talk out this insecurity with a counselor. There are all sorts of reasons people cling to childhood artifacts. It might be good to explore yours.

StormCOGy · Answer

No way, the fear of looking childish is in itself childish.

If you can't enjoy something because your worried about someone else's opinion then you're a wimp.

I'm a huge nerd, I love TTRPGs and my room is full of Books. I don't care. Be yourself, everyone else is an ass hole.

DamienDreams · Answer

No way! Never too old! I don't have any myself, but I'm a huge cuddler... so when I'm traveling alone, I usually find an extra pillow to cuddle with. It's not exactly a teddy bear, but same basic idea. And yes, I am very secure in my manhood 😁

laurieluvsit · Answer

Never! I have Teddy Bears, Koala Bears and Kangaroos!

Emojo · Answer

That depends on what they're for.
If you buy a stuffed animal for yourself (Not even for a Valentine for something), you devote half your savings just to build up a collection for your room, you have names for each stuffed animal, and you play with them while using cute voices during your spare time... then yeah. No tihs that's creepy.
Now like I said, if you have one from Valentines day or something or if you have a couple here and there just for decoration, okay then.

MysteriousDarkness · Answer

I say you are never too old to sleep with one. There are people who sleep better with one than they do without them. Sometimes people have them yo help calm themself doen. In my own opinion guys who claim you are too old for them are trying to be overly macho which is immature.

theharlequin · Answer

Maybe for guys. I think girls and women who like stuffed animals are cute. It also gives me something to give them as gifts. :)

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

I still kept several sentimental stuffed toys my parents gave to me when I was just a kid & those my husband gave to me when we were still dating since college.

Titanic1912 · Answer

You’re never too old to have stuffed animals or toys. I still have my white bear wearing a read sweater with a white heart on it. And I still have my rattle clown that I always slept with when I was just a baby.

Gottabsavagee · Answer

I mean whatever someone makes happy.

It is assumed that you won’t need toys after you grow up but if it makes you feel better. Fuck what anybody says. Its your life.

by the way I don’t have that need but people are different and it’s ok.

jackthebear131 · Answer

I don't think you could ever be too old especially if it has sentimental value, and it depends if you have it in a box or if it's on your bed for everyone to see
