Answered Conundrum Next Conundrum
What's your opinion of adults that not just own stuffed animals, but actually speak and treat them like living pets, or even like kids?
I'm not referring to owning a lot of or collecting stuffed animals, not even having a favorite one for good luck, I mean that person that is always talking to, cuddling, or giving voice to stuffed animals.

It's most likely not too much cause for concern, but I genuinely wish people like this would go and focus on something else. However, if this is anything more than playful though, I'd begin to get concerned. If it begins to interfere with their relationships with others, work, family, or life in general, at that point perhaps something should be done. I know this is stretching the bounds of your question, but can I put Loren Feldman in this camp? I sure hope so.

• Thank you for your answer. I have known a few people like this. They are normal, cause no harm to themselves or others, some very successful and productive, but yes, they can be very annoying. (as I look over my shoulder I see one of them approaching me with a knife wielding stuffed bunny...just kidding!)

I wouldn't think that much of it. We all have habits that others would consider a little odd or downright weird if they found out. I would wonder, perhaps, if the person was at all lonely, but I certainly wouldn't bring it up -- that would be highly awkward.
But I wouldn't think they're creepy. That's just judgmental. Chances are, people who think that contribute, in a large part, to whatever problems he or she is facing in life.

I think they are pragmatic, because they have a child/pet without the odds of taken care of so many thinks like food, health, cleaning poo, etc., thought I have to admit they are at least a little mad, maybe because of loneliness.
