Can you give me a valid reason not to?

Didn’t think so.

2. Hugging a stuffed animal releases oxytocin in your body, the “trust” hormone.

Oxytocin helps reduce your stress and anxiety.

So, hugging a stuffed animal therefore reduces your stress and anxiety.

If I can lower my anxiety by hugging a giant soft owl…

I have no objections!

Do you?

3. By doing so, you can rebel against capitalist society’s forcing of efficiency and responsibility on adults!

Who made up that silly rule that “stuffed animals are for kids” and “adults have to give up childish things”?

Not me!

Not you!

I hereby give you permission and my divine blessing to go and hug a stuffed animal.

Doesn’t matter your age. Stuffed animals have no age limit.
