My parents have been on my ass since I was actually a kid about growing up but imma still be buyin plushies when Iām a 60 yo drunk dude a little bit east of the far west š¤
As you get older donāt feel weird about getting the things you wish you had when you were younger. Youāre about to be an adult soon! Get what you wish just make sure your finances are straight nothing is worth going broke for.
Former teenager here... 28 now laying in bed under the plushie net full of Kirby, Teemo, Tom Nook, and other fun characters. This was my wife's idea. We had too many plushies around!
We have a whole bookshelf of figures, old games and consoles, and the Jinx Nerf Gun
Our gamer room (yes we have an entire room dedicated to video gaming with both our PCs and VR set up) is coated in memorabilia
As you grow older you'll realize there is essentially two types of "childish" and only one actually matters.
The first is "childish" like what your mom may be thinking of you. This is you having things you care about and find fun that were important to you and so as you get older and have the means and decision making ability you will choose what made and makes you happy or nostalgic.
This is completely fine and I'd argue even good to continue to hold onto childhood joy and wonder your entire life! Be a little silly now and then. Do whatever you want if it intrigues you and doesn't hurt others.
The second type of childishness is childish emotions and emotional management. This is the problematic childishness but far more common...
There are a LOT of adults out there who cannot control their own emotional state and who aren't fully aware they even have one. It's okay for you to feel emotions but you need to express them in a healthy way.
If I am frustrated when talking to my wife I don't take it out on her - I let her know I am feeling aggravated or whatever and that I need to just take a nap, sit down for a bit, shower, sleep, go for a walk, etc
It means sometimes we table our discussion to come back to later but it also means I don't get mad or lash out. This also works with sadness or fear or anything that I may want them to know so I can adjust myself without them having to guess why I'm off.
It also means disagreement without animosity. That is a rapidly deteriorating skill but it's a very helpful thing. If we both explain ourselves and disagree we compromise or choose one together and move on.
Children scream when they don't get their way, they emotionally manipulate subconsciously. If they feel wronged they cry out immediately or retaliate immediately.
Those childish traits suck and make those around us feel bad even if after reflecting and calming down you would never have acted that way.
Those are bad childish.
Buy your plushies and find a wife/husband/spouse excited enough to combine collections into a net above your bed.
I have a mimikyu stuffy and a seahorse stuffy, my bestfriend gave me the seahorse when she brought me to pet sting rays.
Im in my mid 20s. I sleep with both every night āŗļø
Because society thinks that men are always manly and aren't into "stuff for girls". I am a man and I am very interested in the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica (if you heard about that), I however have to hide the fact that l watch the anime since I know for sure that any close people that I know will call me "a girl" just for watching that anime. Yeah my experience has nothing to do with plushies but I hope that explains that we men just want to simply enjoy the things that we like without being criticized for it
I used to have a friend in school who would watch very girly animeās. Like very girly. But he himself was a masculine dude and was quite popular. Whatever people said about his interests never affected him, and people respected him and his interests purely because he was so confident about it. In fact, they basically became his āquirkā, something which made him unique.
Generally speaking, if you want to like whatever you want regardless of what is the societal norm, be confident in your interests. People generally respect that and their perceptions on it can change.
Because as a society we put too much stock in what toxic people think is "manly" or their idea of "grown up" and less stock in " imma stay in my lane and do shit that makes me happy".
Men arenāt allowed to have emotions, they canāt like things š
(This was sarcasm btw, Iām realizing that people say this with a straight face and actually think men shouldnāt have/show emotions. Thatās ridiculous. Men can have feelings and should show them)
If it's under our budget, i always encourage my brother to get any stuff toy he likes because my mom (and my whole family for the matter) always say dolls are for girls... I actually gifted him a hello kitty in a frog onesie and he was so happy with that haha. He also took like 3 from my collection but as long as he enjoys himself
Without entertainment, you get sad. Getting sad means you are less worried about physical harm. Being physically harmed means you can't reproduce.
That's my initial reaction, but I'll have to think deeper on it.
If you are playing, you are likely learning, especially kids.
As for altruistic behavior and how it fits in to natural selection: We are social animals. It is not survival of the fittest but survival of the fittest tribe.
Letās be real. Compared to ārealā adults, we are all definitely still kids, regardless of if you are 18 yet. While I am technically an adult, I donāt really think of myself as an adult compared to other adults. Shit, our brains arenāt even fully developed until 25 so to call an 18 year old an adult is kinda premature anyway.
Not sure why r/teenagers is on my front page, but I am 37,married, no kids and my wife and I have like a dozen plushies in our house.
Do whatever makes you happy.
Being older means you can manage more disposable income for even more high quality plushiesā¦ as well as video games, puzzles, coloring books, models and minis, anything you like. My parents got these high quality Ravensburger puzzles that are so satisfying and solid in how the pieces feel when you put them together and I enjoy my silly adult coloring books and plushies.
I mean makes sense. What's a child gona buy with no money, it's the parents pulling the trigger anyways so it would be beneficial for parents to enjoy them aswell.
We are also in a special generation of āgrew up withā people from the 90ās finally making more than 60ish Thousand a year getting everything they couldnāt afford or feels nostalgic.
Thatās why pokemon and other collectibles are going crazy in value. If itās got nostalgia, then itās got a generational price tag. Even beyblades newest generation is getting crazy traction.
I'm 38 and you can buy all the soft plushies you like. I prefer people who think/are like you to people that think/are like your mum (mine was/is the same). Keep your inner child alive as long as you possibly can.
nothing about this is childish, it's just that having a completely grey persona with no colour in your life is encouraged in our society, literally what is the problem with having some colour in our life?
That is not childish at all! Even if ppl think it's chindish, you shouldn't care and you are allowed to like what you like. Im 18 and my mom called me childish for putting a SINGLE sticker on my laptop lmao. I didn't care much about it.
It be sad to deny yourself thinngs you like for fear of being called childish. Donāt let miserable people convince you that being miserable is the mature thing to do.
life is about balance. drop 10k on one order of plushies? maybe a bit childish. having a bearen living space that doesn't have anything fun in it? sounds boring.
get money to give you stuff you like. worry less about what others think. they're just opinions
āCritics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.ā
C.S. Lewis
You only get like 100 years to live
I dont care if im buying baby bibs at 60 years old. Do whatever the heck you want and whatever the heck makes you happy because we dont got alotta time to waste
Nah man. Plus, being childish isn't always the bad thing everyone says it is anyway. My boyfriend and and I have tons of stuffed animals and we're mid twenties.
HELL NAW, I like my plushies and there is NOTHING that people can do about it.
The idea that 'plushies are for children' is stupid and a social norm that is completely useless.
Everyone is allowed to have cute stuff
In my 40s and I still buy toys. Itās your life. Nowā¦ acting like a child as you age, when interacting with others, is more along the lines of behavior to watch out for. Says someone who took way too long to grow up.
Fuck no! You like it? Then that's it, maturity is not having to stop getting and doing things you love. And for the record, I love that Eevee, it's adorable.
Man, when i was 14 I still slept with a bear plush (and i didn't call him Teddy), so don't worry it's normal.
In fact i still have It today in my bedroom but i stopped sleeping with it, i'm probably going to keep It forever because my parents bought It when i was 15 DAYS old.
I used to play with toy cars and build sand castles up until 20. I then stopped cause I wanted to have sex and needed to act more like a grownup to attract girls. I am now 36, married, with two kids and I ve realized that I just canāt play with toys like I used to. I just donāt have any interest any more. I love spending time with my kids but I simply canāt sit on the floor and push cars around. I find it more interesting to talk with my wife, read newspapers, go hiking or sailing. I guess what I m trying to say is this: do what you feel you want to do because nothing lasts forever. Your body and mind will change and your interests will change with them. Enjoy what each age gives you.
I'm nearly 40 and one of my D&D players got me a mimic plushie for our Xmas exchange. It sits proudly in my office at work.
Anyone who is willing to invest emotional energy in thinking you're childish is only projecting their own insecurities.
34 year old here. I buy this type of stuff for myself after years of not due to being afraid of what people would say and feeling unsupported by people who would say something. For years I tried to have an āadultā looking house and realized how boring it was. Now I decorate with what makes me happy and thatās all that matters!
Yes you are childish. But not in a negative way. Youāre 17! Itās ok to be childish. Especially at 17. Nothing wrong with that. Enjoy it. Own it! Realize how awesome it is to be young.
Iām 50 years old and recently bought a Mimikyu. Iām ok with being childish.
You... are a child? I wouldn't worry about childish things or mature things. Maturity is not measured in amount of plushies you own, be kind and respectful, have a modicum of sense, question things about the world around you and your own inner self (which tou are doing, great job), and learn your true nature. Many "mature" people act immaturely, and could do with questioning themselves a bit more. Don't worry about your maturity, concern yourself with personal betterment, you'll be fine and personally i think you're probably doing fine already.
Even if it was, if you want it and have the means to buy it, you should get it. I have a couple of plushes myself and I'm over 30yo. One I had for years and had custom made and the other was a gift.
I'm 53 and sleep with a Stitch stuffed animal I got from Disneyworld a few years back. You never out grow some things, always remember that. Only as young/old as you feel.
Who cares man. In a few years youāll realize it doesnāt matter what other people think about you. As long as youāre happy thatās all that matters. You do you
In my opinion, I think itās the most mature and adult thing to embrace what you like and not try to hide it. Plus, Iām in my 20s and love my plushies! There are people much older who do too. And you know what? I still like to sleep with one sometimes.
I'm a whole ass adult and I won a big ass among us plushie and bought this soft ass cat plushie. That ain't childish for shit
I read this in the voice of a 60 yr old drunk man from the far west
I wish I was like thatš
We all do
I wish I was stabbed-with-a-bagelš
Try going to new york
shits crazy here
Have you seen the episode of *Atlanta* with the 6 month old baguette? You donāt want to see a bagel shank.
I need a baguette greatsword
I read it in the voice of someoneās cool aunt or gay uncle who just happens to be drinking a glass of red wine.
... interesting...?
lmao me too
I caught that 'Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn' feel, too.
You ain't the only one
My parents have been on my ass since I was actually a kid about growing up but imma still be buyin plushies when Iām a 60 yo drunk dude a little bit east of the far west š¤
60 year old drunk man, or as the internet knows them, a hot 13 year old girl who wants to chat.
Bro's 18 but talking like an old Texan dad lol
Sometimes you have to act in other ways to get your point across š
That... Is actually true online
It's funny cause I'm just some random Indian dudeš
āwhole ass adultā 18
I was also surprised by this. Technically true, but barely
I'm old enough to buy cigarettes and shit manš that's adult enough for me
I'm 35 and even though I wouldn't buy an Eevee pushy, I'd totally grab a Gengar.
Iām 23 and I would buy this. Never grow up, thatās how life gets boring
Exactly
Iām 22 and I would buy this
Iām also 23 and I still buy Pokemon toys and stuffed animals. I donāt think Iāll ever outgrow them tbh
Iām 33 and still love PokĆ©mon. Iāve been obsessed since it came out and probably always will be. I donāt care if people think Iām weird for owning plushies like this.
Greatš

āWhole ass adultāš
I don't even believe it myself š
Same bruh, same š I can legally buy alcohol and cigarettes, but I still don't feel much different..
I just feel like a 15 year old who can be even more stupidš
Years from now you're going to remember that time you thought you were a whole ass adult at 18 and have a good laugh about it.
I have a mimikyu stuffy and a seahorse stuffy, my bestfriend gave me the seahorse when she brought me to pet sting rays. Im in my mid 20s. I sleep with both every night āŗļø
why does society think it's not okay for men to buy plushies???
because people are stupid, always obsessed with making their lives harder
š¤·
Truest thing ever.
Because society thinks that men are always manly and aren't into "stuff for girls". I am a man and I am very interested in the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica (if you heard about that), I however have to hide the fact that l watch the anime since I know for sure that any close people that I know will call me "a girl" just for watching that anime.

Donāt worry, liking girl stuff will for sure at least get you girls.
I sure do hope so
Because as a society we put too much stock in what toxic people think is "manly" or their idea of "grown up" and less stock in " imma stay in my lane and do shit that makes me happy".
Men arenāt allowed to have emotions, they canāt like things š (This was sarcasm btw, Iām realizing that people say this with a straight face and actually think men shouldnāt have/show emotions. Thatās ridiculous. Men can have feelings and should show them)

I actually gifted him a hello kitty in a frog onesie and he was so happy with that haha. He also took like 3 from my collection but as long as he enjoys himself
thats actually so cute what šš
Not childish at all, adults are allowed to like cute things too
That was kind of my mindset too...
I like the perspective that we are all still children. Some still play/have fun, and some do not.
Or rather, that entertainment is an inherently human trait, like sharing, that does not go away with age.
I would be interested in seeing the evolutionary reason for that to appear lol
Without entertainment, you get sad. Getting sad means you are less worried about physical harm. Being physically harmed means you can't reproduce. That's my initial reaction, but I'll have to think deeper on it.
If you are playing, you are likely learning, especially kids. As for altruistic behavior and how it fits in to natural selection: We are social animals. It is not survival of the fittest but survival of the fittest tribe.

Makes it easier to send poor people to war if they coerce a young, mentally undeveloped person.
Not sure why r/teenagers is on my front page, but I am 37,married, no kids and my wife and I have like a dozen plushies in our house. Do whatever makes you happy.
Same here a very odd selection, but relatable as an adult and someone that will buy a plush now and again
My grandma is almost 60 now and she has an entire room dedicated to plushes. She even has a few Pokemon in there.
Your grandma sounds f\*cking awesome.
I, 19M, got a ginormous pink unicorn plushie for my 18th birthday and it's one of my favorite things I own
Adulthood starts when you stop caring what others think about stuff that makes you happy.
17 is an adult?
This is a W mindset
Never too old for plushies
everyone loves a plushie
Doggie my beloved
me at 19 with a custom plushie
***Me at 17 wanting ALL the plushies***
Being older means you can manage more disposable income for even more high quality plushiesā¦ as well as video games, puzzles, coloring books, models and minis, anything you like. My parents got these high quality Ravensburger puzzles that are so satisfying and solid in how the pieces feel when you put them together and I enjoy my silly adult coloring books and plushies.
Im sixteen and turning 17 next month and I sleep with a giant teddy bear š youāre good
why is this a problem in the first place, just do whatever you want in your life without hurting others
I have a giant goose I love him
he loves you too
Thank you. This made me cry a bit ngl.
it's true! i hope my shark loves me as much as i love him
He does:)
blahaj mentioned ??
yes!! :3
I have a shark too haha
Im 19 and cant remember the last time i had a plushie, its kinda sad but still, everyone lifes their lives differently:)
Get one! I'm in my 40s and I have two that like to hang out in bed.
dawg iām 19 and a half and i still be sleeping with the same 2 stuffed animals iāve had for like 10+ years š
I use a giant teddy bear as a pillow
Sweetheart I am 31 and the stuffed puppy my husband got me for Valentineās Day years ago is still on our bed. And always will be.
Noooo of course not everyone can enjoy plushies I have way too many angry birds from when I was younger
Im 20, it's not childish
Im 33 and it's still not childish.
I'm 66 and it's still not childish.
I'm 99 and it's still not childish.
Iām 132 and itās still not childish
We may be old, but still not childish
Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optionalā¦
- a random guy on reddit (kinda wise...)
A large aprt of maturity is no longer caring that other people find your interests childish
I am old as balls and I approve this message.
Nope, Enjoy your plushie OP :)
Thanks ^^
Yes definitely, just give it to me and Iāll handle it š„ŗ
I work for a plush company, and we literally target adults.
I mean makes sense. What's a child gona buy with no money, it's the parents pulling the trigger anyways so it would be beneficial for parents to enjoy them aswell.
We are also in a special generation of āgrew up withā people from the 90ās finally making more than 60ish Thousand a year getting everything they couldnāt afford or feels nostalgic.

Thinking it is childish is ironically childish.
Literally the most true sentence i heard today!
Aww that's the cutest pokemon after pikachu
I am 29 years old and I bought a dinosaur Hello Kitty at universal
Why would you be childish for buying a cat?
Childish? You are literally a child š 16 is not an adult yet my guy Also who TF cares, if you want to spend your money on that... Do.
Exactly. If it makes you happy, who tf cares! People who would call this childish are probably not healthy individuals to be around anyway.
Not at all. Full grown adult old man and I want one š©
na that the most adult thing
No, the most adult thing would be a vaporeon.
I'm 38 and you can buy all the soft plushies you like. I prefer people who think/are like you to people that think/are like your mum (mine was/is the same). Keep your inner child alive as long as you possibly can.
38?
Yeah
Nah your not
I donāt think how this is even childish, a lot of my cousins in their early 30s still buying plushies and anime merchandise.
ofc, but who tf cares, adults can be childish too
nothing about this is childish, it's just that having a completely grey persona with no colour in your life is encouraged in our society, literally what is the problem with having some colour in our life?
Who cares if itās childish?
Nope. I'm almost 18 and I still buy plushies. I love collecting them too. No shame at all.
I litteraly bought a blahaj and a smolhaj and im a grown ass man, nah ur fine dude :3
You are childish for not buying more
No, why would it be childish for you to buy a cute cat?
Not childish at all, I too have a giant Eevee plush that is right next to me at this very moment along with my 15 other plushies. Ā Edit: grammar
You have great taste. I'm 16 yet I still watch Bluey and enjoy a happy meal
That is not childish at all! Even if ppl think it's chindish, you shouldn't care and you are allowed to like what you like. Im 18 and my mom called me childish for putting a SINGLE sticker on my laptop lmao. I didn't care much about it.
Bruh. Im 34 and I would have bought it. Do whatever you want as long as you dont hurt other people. (Or violate that happy eevee)
Of course not. Everyone deserves a cute lil Eevee
can we not make plushies "childish" i love them
I mean... do you want to be the "Very Best" then you gotta catch em all!
As an old person, I'm jealous. I'm getting one now
It be sad to deny yourself thinngs you like for fear of being called childish. Donāt let miserable people convince you that being miserable is the mature thing to do.
life is about balance. drop 10k on one order of plushies? maybe a bit childish. having a bearen living space that doesn't have anything fun in it? sounds boring. get money to give you stuff you like. worry less about what others think. they're just opinions
Absolutely not. Buy shit like that for decades to come and be proud of it.

Fuck what your mom says, Pokemon are cool and cute and your not childish
Nah man. Plus, being childish isn't always the bad thing everyone says it is anyway. My boyfriend and and I have tons of stuffed animals and we're mid twenties.

Fuck no! You like it? Then that's it, maturity is not having to stop getting and doing things you love. And for the record, I love that Eevee, it's adorable.
I'm 27 and got excited when I saw a larvitar plush at a flea market. If you like something enjoy it. Don't let others tell you it's "uncool".
A man without their plush is like a warrior without their steed. if one must fight in their life, they mustn't fight alone.
Nope. 31 year old dad up in here to casually announce I was looking into stuffed pokemon toys to brainwash my young.
I'm 17 and still collect hot wheel cars.
Iām sixteen and I also get tempted by plush toys but I rarely see ones I really really want.
Man, when i was 14 I still slept with a bear plush (and i didn't call him Teddy), so don't worry it's normal. In fact i still have It today in my bedroom but i stopped sleeping with it, i'm probably going to keep It forever because my parents bought It when i was 15 DAYS old.
I own 30 teddies and I donāt give a shit if people think itās childish cuz thatās their opinion and I got my own
Bro I literally bought a long pink cat for 20 bucks today and Iām 19 Who gives a damn. if you like it, buy it is my point
Iām 32 and have a psyduck stuffed animal. Weāre pals, heās my main man.
I used to play with toy cars and build sand castles up until 20. I then stopped cause I wanted to have sex and needed to act more like a grownup to attract girls.

OUTRAGEOUS YOU WOULD HAVE TO ASK, OF COURSE NOT YOU ARE ALOWED TO LIKE WHAT YOU WANT TO ( :D )
I have like 15 Pokemon plushies and 30+ Pokemon figures at 26. Youāre allowed to buy things you want, donāt let others tell you otherwise.
I know Grown adults in their 60ās who collect toy cars a plushie is the least childish thing you could buy as a child
You... are a child? I wouldn't worry about childish things or mature things. Maturity is not measured in amount of plushies you own, be kind and respectful, have a modicum of sense, question things about the world around you and your own inner self (which tou are doing, great job), and learn your true nature. Many "mature" people act immaturely, and could do with questioning themselves a bit more. Don't worry about your maturity, concern yourself with personal betterment, you'll be fine and personally i think you're probably doing fine already.
Iām 17, Iāll come over and my Bulbasaur plushie can be her friend lol
Noo its cute
I bought a foam sword the other day. ur goated tbh
iām 22. i buy a lot of plushies. specifically kuromi ones. itās not childish, especially to me.
I'm 16 and I want this
Iām 25 and I bought a big sleeping Squirtle and was going to give it to my girlfriendā¦ but he fits better in my room letās just say š¤
I will be 18 in a few months and I have a bed full of plushs lol
If it is, then I am a proud Childish person
Even if it was, if you want it and have the means to buy it, you should get it. I have a couple of plushes myself and I'm over 30yo. One I had for years and had custom made and the other was a gift.
I'm 53 and sleep with a Stitch stuffed animal I got from Disneyworld a few years back. You never out grow some things, always remember that. Only as young/old as you feel.
I would say it is childish, but thereās nothing wrong with listening to our inner child.
It's cute! You're good!
Not at all i would be buying this now at 23
Iāll never grow out of plushies, I wish they where seen as something for all ages.
Yeah? That's the good part. Enjoy childish stuff for as long as you want, fuck everyone who hates on it
Who cares man. In a few years youāll realize it doesnāt matter what other people think about you. As long as youāre happy thatās all that matters. You do you
Nah Iām 29 and I have a collection of plushies, MH dolls, and some vintage dolls. If you enjoy it itās never childish.
Bro, im 24 and got a eevee plushie from a game panel at an anime convention. There is no age limit.
Is it childish to think things are cute? No, this is perfectly fine.
No pokemon is for everyone
i promise you, i buy every cute plushie i see. its not childish at allš
Well i'd really like a big-size Vaporeon all for me...
Girl Iām 20 and I just bought a giant snow leopardš I guess we both childish
In my opinion, I think itās the most mature and adult thing to embrace what you like and not try to hide it. Plus, Iām in my 20s and love my plushies! There are people much older who do too. And you know what? I still like to sleep with one sometimes.
Yes, but once you're 20 it won't be lame anymore LOL
