Of course, a woman's stuffed animals don't reveal everything about her. We will say one thing, though: If she makes her stuffed animals talk to and interact with you on a regular basis, you should probably cut down on the sleepovers.
So, a woman who holds on to "transitional objects" would therefore either still be transitioning or not comfortable with adulthood. i.e. Would be immature, yes?
Well, it's not that simple to conclude that---and I was intending no more than to throw a few links out.
Personally, I would think that maturity and immaturity are just concepts to use to mark the changes and relative growth in our lives.
As for a 'transitional object," a cane or a crutch could be so categorized and quite appropriate to use until a person feels confident that they are healed well enough to put them down.
Right. I think I may have used "immature" incorrectly in that sense, but you also mention "healed well enough," which kind of hits on what I was thinking. Someone who is still healing/ coping with transitions, ect., arguably would not be a good relationship candidate. If they're lacking in that department, wouldn't they then be incapable of having a mature relationship? Or, are the two not interlinked?
A lot could be said I am sure, but not by me. I try not to judge people on things like that, (political views are a different story lol ) I am not a fan of stuffed animals myself but, providing there was no cruelty in their death, I have no objection and defend others' right to keep them if they wish. I don't think it's necessarily any warning sign to a partner, or potential partner.. the right person would forgive all our little tastes and might even be likeminded.
I didn't even think about real stuffed animals until I saw Sharonna's response. I would find it deeply troubling for a woman to be sleeping with dead animal carcasses. I don't think I'm alone in this.
I don't know...........she likes stuffed animals. I didn't understand the beanie baby thing myself, but many people I know bought them and put them in cabinets. They wouldn't even let people fool with them because they didn't want the tagbent.
Oh that's nothing. I know a couple who had a five shelf barrister bookcase and each shelf was covered with the nutty things. They just recently boxed and stored them and as fate and good luck would have it, I now have the bookcase. I had a need so they gave it to me. YAY!!! Happy Thrifty!
