Is there an actual relation with teenagers and adults who own plushies with childhood trauma?
>>
>>11293254
Ive got two plushies and im unaware of any trauma they may have endured during their childhoods. Perhaps i should ask them if they have anything they would like to share, but maybe my alf doll doesnt want to bring up its past.

I have 0 units of child trauma. I wasn't exactly a happy child, but there were some nice moments. I still love plushies as a grown adult pushing his 30s.
>>
Most teenage/adult plushie owners are women and this childhood trauma talk is simply a classic female tactic of portraying yourself as a poor victim to shame and guilt trip your opponents into shutting up. After all others won't be allowed to call you cringe on the internet if you say you suffer from CHILDHOOD TRAUMA and CPTSD and your sanrio plushies are your COPING MECHANISM without which you'd KILL YOUSELF and anyone finding this funny is AN IRREDEEMABLE PIECE OF SHIT

Where are you getting this from OP?
>>11293325
Very nice Spurdo collection. Are those yours?
>>
>>11293384
Those are hard toys. While plushies are soft toys. It isnt just humans who do this its also felines as well. Humans hug while felines knead. Perhaps its by instinct.

Pseudoscience and Psychology studies. Just curious really.

Yeah I got a lot. I'm looking for a shelf to display them, will probably get one from Ikea soon. Here are some more plushies I got though this isn't my full collection.
>>11293409
Yep, they are mine. I like gondola a lot because it represents my ideal self. I strive to be as calm and easy-going as the meme itself.

>>11293254
has to be.
i haven't held a stuffed animal like that since i was still in diapers

I was traumatized as a child, until I was big and strong enough to start traumatizing my parents back. I'm 31, and I keep Gondola on my dashboard at all times, and I got the Sassy Nurgling plush because of the meme.
>>11293325
fuggin breddi gud :DDDDDDDDDDD berkele
>>
None, I own no plushies and have immense baggage.
>>
>>11293254
Yes, I've raped dozens of kids and they all grew up to have huge plushie collections.
>>
>>11293254
Probably some, but I think most people just like them because they grew up loving them.
>>11293325
I am so fucking jealous of this collection, are you the anon who orders custom Gondolas?
>>
>>11293254
i have anime plushes because i bought into the touhou meme. theyre nice to have in the car too. and when im super bored i unironically talk to my shalltear bloodfallen to entertain myself
>>
>>11293254
well, the only childhood trauma I have is from school, but except from that? nah I'm fairly functioning.
..although, I do have a copious amount of plush toys .w.
>>
>>11295491
>are you the anon who orders custom Gondolas?
Nope, all my gondolas are from KomandoStore except for that one on the right which I bought from an ukranian girl on eBay. I wish I could contact whoever makes those custom gondolas that anon has been posting, I really like them. No idea who makes those though.

My dad loaded up the shotgun and threatened to shoot the whole family when I was 10, and I had to use my smarts to disarm him since I couldn't overpower him. I still remember staring down the barrel thinking this was it. No more TMNT after school or doing jumps at the BMX track.
He also fractured my orbital a few years later, so I shattered his cheekbone because I wasn't a tiny little 10 year old anymore.
I own zero plushies.

I grew up with a family suffering through immense generational trauma all my life; my uncle died at only 14 and it fucked up my grandparents and mother's mental stare permanently, understandably so.

Their relationship continued to sour as decades went on, and by the time I was a little boy nothings improved, if anything it only got worse as my autistic fucking horrid sister made our lives so much worse. My family used me for financial gain, insurance and credit card fraud, and treated me like utter garbage despite it.

Eventually, I grew so tired of it, the violence, the anger, the rage; I called protective services and left home that day. I have no regrets leaving, except for one thing: leaving behind my stuff, which DID include plushes.

As a 22 year old, I've got many many plushes. I don't think plushes as an adult = trauma coping. I think anything you may become attached to, especially when stripped away, becomes an outlet to cope with trauma. I lost all my transformers too; well around 400 figures, and I left them behind for my own sake. I miss them dearly, even as I collect new figures to this day. And thought this may be the case for some, as others have also shown here, its not always the case.

Plushes are likely just used as the prime example since they're soft, cute, huggable, and often associated with childhood and young life.

>YN

Who?
>>
>>11296336
YN stands for "young nigga"
you can easily spot a YN on how they dress, typically a black ski mask, black puffer jacket, skinny jeans and black sneakers. i think the rapper YNW melly made it popular

>>11296318
You gotta get those tf and plushies back anon. Sorry to hear about your family but, those toys need to be rescued.

>>11293254
My son is 10 and can't sleep well unless he has his 3 bears in one arm and me holding his hand in the other....

Child raising can be awesome but tiresome with certain routines.
Wish he'd grow out of so I can have a minuscule part of my life back.
This kid needs to GTF to sleep by himself
>>
>>11297965
Is your son special needs? You should probably ask a therapist, specially regarding the need to hold your hand to sooth him.

I'm 34 and still have the same Teddy I had since I was a baby. I just don't see why I should throw it away.

Hopefully you keep him repaired and clean at least

I have cptsd from childhood and I carry a plushie with me everywhere. on some days I carry two if I'm feeling really anxious. I'm also autistic though I don't know if that makes a difference
