A question about Huggy Bear?

First, meet Huggy Bear! I’ve had him for years and I sleep with him every night.

So, a few days ago, some of my guy co-workers found out that I sleep with a teddy bear, and I’m a 23 year old guy. They laughed at me about it. To be honest, I AM a tad bit embarrassed, because after all I am a grown man, who sleeps with a teddy bear.

My reason for doing so, is I have anxiety. Some days my anxiety is really debilitating at work and makes my day miserable. So sleeping with Huggy Bear at night sort of makes me feel better, I know as a 23 year old guy that sounds really dumb but…yeah.

My question to my SWeep friends is, do you think it’s embarrassing or dumb for a 23 year old dude to sleep with a teddy bear?

Should I just get rid of Huggy Bear?
