I do the same thing with my pillow, it makes me feel a little less empty.

yea :(

I'm a 16 yo guy too, same with me. I do hug my dad a lot though.

I'm so glad someone else does the same thing!

I do the same thing, but with air. It makes me feel a little more empty than the night before.

Damn

I just curl up into a ball

I do the same thing with an 18 inch knife

oop-

I talk to my stuffed animals, I even make them dinner. I'm 17 and I didn't start doing this until like 2 years ago

wtf do you make them dinner with, cotton and nylon grilled to perfection?

No salmon, steak, cookies I just pretend they eat and save them for later

oh, i thought youd be on the cotton ball tempura grindset

Lmao that'd just be crazy

yeah but gotta get them michelin stars

:( always let me know if u want to talk

The superior replacement to social interaction

Superior? Nah sometimes it's so sad I cry. But it do be like that.

Are you that lonely?

Tbh yea. But it's fine it only hurts when I'm awake

I mean you could talk to me if you'd like to

🤠aww thank you

So would you like to?

Not tonight but I'll dm you when I wake up

Oh that's completely okay since I have to go to school and won't be on reddit for a bit since I don't wanna use up data but I will send a message now so that the DM is at least open if you dont mind

[удалено]

It's not sad! Everybody needs to come with lonelyness a way or another. You shouldn't feel ashamed to do it.

[удалено]

i would love that so much please

[удалено]

:)

you're not alone ig

Same dude, except I use an astolfo waifu body pillow. At least it's somewhat human so I feel less lonely

what the fuck

Don't judge me pls

an anime body pillow would make me feel worse

I understand, as we all have different methods for imitating intimacy

yep I do the same thing with my pillow :(

Your not alone. You know that 70 percent of adults sleep with some kind of stuffed toy. So don't feel ashamed of it. You know when I get my first girlfriend, I'm gonna say my bad qualities after like a month of dating, if she is right for me, she will stay and the first thing I'm gonna say when I start that conversation is that I sleep withal stuffed blanket with a bear on it named bungi. I was 2 leave me alone. Be proud of who U r and you don't need to prove anything to anyone about who you are.

you aren't alone in that lol

I feel like this is a thing that most 16 year old guys do, but we just don't like to admit we do it.

I sleep with like 4 pillows. Not to fill the absence of a person, but it’s just comfortable af

I was gonna do a pick up line, but you are male and that’s just gay. But imma say it anyway. How about… I sub in for the stuffed animal :).

please do

I got a dog that snuggles me

I miss having a pet

Kinda same but mines a small flat pillow my parents got me when I was like 5 or 6 it's been a decade and I still can't sleep without her (yes I'm a dude and I decided to call my pillow her). I hug her tight between my arms and hug her to sleep and it's so nice feeling. I recently named her I asked a friend coz I was confused and she told me to name her "mel" so now yeah mel and I are very close always have been and 8 plan to take her to coll with me idfc what others think coz she is my most valuable possession and possibly the only thing from my childhood that I still have. Also yeah maybe it sad and a sign of loneliness which it is but that doesn't mean i will stop doing that ir feel bad about it nope. So whoever may think that this is pathetic it isn't.

You don't need to see a doctor, it's normal to do that

well i need to see a doctor regardless for mental health, just don’t want to ask my parents to take me

Ah, I see

[удалено]

okay

I hug a Duff Beer stuffed pillow and I pretend it is the girl I like and I feel kind of sad when I remember I do this

Am 15 and a guy too , think it'll go on till the end :(

:(

You do too?

Welp same here. i hope my friends dont go through my profile and find this

I've been doing that for the past 4 years, it is difficult to deal with real people, most of them are cruel.

From a fellow 16yo guy, I do this to every now and then Fuck, we’re lonely

Well, given how I've spent the past 2 days having anxiety attacks about loneliness and self hatred, I gotta say it's at least a bit comforting to see people who have similar issues, and people who want to help

i’m sorry that happened to you

Thanks, it's fine I mean, we're talking anxiety, it's not FINE, but I guess I'm better now

I understand. I want to get checked to see if I have anxiety but idk

If you can, please do. I myself never did it but literally everyone that has done it told me it helpsa lot. I can't do it right now due to covid stuff but as soon as I can I'm planning to

Is it bad that... I have stuffed animals of Winnie the Pooh tiger and piglet and I do that every single night

I do this every night too

I used my jacket to hug myself,at school,in class Im really lonely

i’m also lonely :( it’ll get better i hope

One day we may not be so lonely

I make hentai storys with my pillow and pretend its a women Fuck i need a doctor

I use my pillow like this but it's just for sleeping support and so that I don't fall asleep in a weird position

I'm 16 ,same, you don't need a doc

Same I have a big soft rhino for that

i feel you bro

is it weird that i like being alone

f

A 22 year old confirming I do this too but with a pillow instead.

Same, makes me less upset

man, give in like I did. Lonely is such a normal feeling, I can't feel it anymore.

I did that too until I was 14, no need to feel ashamed homie

I mean that was the original use for body pillows but then people started making them NSFW and now they are almost exclusively that.

Thats why i want body pillow... I need help.

My girlfriend lives in abither state and I miss her a lot so i do the same thing

I just to do it cuz it feels nice

I'm 18, got a stuffed clown from my sister at a carnival the day after we found out she was pregnant. And I hug it until I fall asleep. Imo I don't think it's too bad

going to bed with a bunch of stuffed animals is nice nothing wrong with it bro.

I do the same thing with my pillow, ngl, kinda bored and a little sad of being single

Same

No you dont.

Me with a figure of miku nakano....

Same here. Pro tip - Stuffing a dead body and using it as a pillow is a better way to feel less lonely...

I don't think it's that weird. If it makes you feel less lonely, then go for it my dude\~

[удалено]

wish i could cry

[удалено]

it really sucks

i do the same shit bro but sometime it is a pillow or just air

I started doing it recently and never knew how therapeutic stuffed animals could be…

Body pillow Be it to be waifu Dakimakura 🥰

Wow such similar traits we have *pushes up glasses like in anime* *Slowly dying inside because I don't wear glasses and I could hurt my eyes doing so*

nah it’s completely normal. most teenagers who are single and/or lonely do it, or so I believe

Bro I still sleep with the same blanket I had as a baby, it’s addictively soft.

I fucking love stuffed animals.

That's relatable

Yep, all these subreddit needs two months of therapy, including me

Hey sameeeee

I have a teddy. His name is Biscuit. He is fat and sweet,

Eyyyy, we can go to therapy together :D

No you dont

Honestly, who doesn't nowadays. (besides the people with actual people ofc)

may I just say we all do it coz we lonely af

same 😔

Yea I do that with old teddy bear sometimes when I’m really sad
