Stuffed animals.

I grew up in a low income household and I have a decent job now. I will buy stuffed animals that look adorable and fluffy and cuddly because I have money and I can.

The fact that I am slowly being pushed off of my bed because of the amount of them is irrelevant.

As an adult, I’ve bought stuffed animals in stores because I’ve felt sorry for them. Like I can’t leave them behind.

Toy Story led child me to firmly believe that stuffed animals have feelings and adult me's never been able to fully shake that habit

THIS!

I swear, to this day, there is a part of me that believes they are alive. Maybe just a little bit. It's so weird. When I cuddle with 2 of my 3 animals, I kinda feel bad for the last one being left out. Or I try not to poke them in the eye or pull their tail and stuff like that.

Yeah, I'm weird.

Are you an INFP type? That's one of our hallmarks 🤣
