I think its very cute. Especially if the stuffed animal is a bear. A lovable, huggable bear.
I have always slept with two pillows. One for my head and the other to hold.
I pretend like im cuddling with someone I love.
As someone with "Self-Deserting" Avoidant Personality Disorder, we develop idealized fantasy relationships with other people.
My second people has always represented that person.
She is soft and sweet and never has an unkind word to say.

Hopefully someday soon I wont need that second pillow anymore.
