I still do all of this,(I am 19) I have every stuffed animal I have ever owned and have even taken on some of my siblings stuffed animals when they stopped giving them love. I would also make a point of buying the stuffed animal I thought no one would like that way I would make sure it would be loved, such as a one eyed hammer head shark I found once, I used to feel bad that I had to keep most of them in my closet and not on my bed (I have a lot) but now I dont worry about it as much and just try to alternate from time to time. Recently I recieved a penguin stuffed animal and as time as gone on he has become very important I even got him a little stuffed animal girl penguin so he wouldent be lonely. Sometimes I take him out on car rides and to school when I feel like it and it is very comforting. I wish it was socially acceptable to carry them around,.

When I was seven I wrote out a complicated schedule that stated the time slot and location on the bed for all of my stuffed animals so none of them would run away because they thought i didn’t love them enough.

I did the same thing. I would line every side of my bed with all of my stuffed animals out of fear of hurting their feelings. When I would move around at night, many would fall off. I imagined that the ones that I’d find on the floor in the morning resented me for not being more considerate. I believed that it was only a matter of time before they would kill me in my sleep with the mass of sharp, needle-like fangs hidden inside of their plush heads. Sometimes I would stare deep into their little glassy eyes and apologize, all the more chilled by their apparent lack of mercy.

Not to be too picky, but you’re not neurotic. You’re paranoid!

I did this when I was younger, not because i was paranoid that my stuffies would kill me. (They loved me)
but because i would feel bad if one “felt” left out. I would also make sure they were evenly spaced over my bed. No stuffed animal was to be left off the bed or without enough room to breath. This became quite the problem as my stuffed animal collection grew.

I, too, felt they would resent me (somehow). I was about 8-9 years old. Once, I was on my back holding a stuffed bear above my face and touching noses with it. My fingers slipped and the bear’s plastic nose tapped against my lips and teeth, which hurt! I suddenly conceived of this as being “bitten” by the resentful bear, and I quickly made him my “favorite” bear. I still have that bear. (I agree with another comment, which observed that this might be closer to a childhood paranoia than a neurosis.)

Whenever I would get a new stuffed animal I would feed it an imaginary pill so that it could have a psychic connection with me and all my other stuffed animals. I would also welcome the ones that were made in different countries to America.
