There are many reasons why people develop an emotional dependence on plush toys.

From a psychological perspective, plush toys can give us a sense of security: in the process of human growth, especially in childhood, we will have an instinctive closeness to soft and warm things. The soft texture and cute appearance of plush toys are like a warm harbor. When we feel uneasy, afraid or lonely, it will bring us psychological comfort and make us feel protected and comforted. For example, when a child is afraid in the dark, he will feel more at ease by hugging a plush toy.

Plush toys are also objects of emotional sustenance: we often project our emotions for relatives, friends or lovers onto plush toys. It is like a silent listener. We can tell it about the joys and sorrows of life without worrying about being judged or revealing secrets. When we experience happy things, we will want to share the joy with it; when we encounter setbacks, it will silently accompany us through difficult times.

Plush toys also carry our memories: some plush toys may be important companions in childhood, and we have spent many good times together. Whenever we see it, those precious memories will come to our mind, making us feel warm and happy. For example, a doll that accompanies us throughout our childhood, it witnesses our growth and becomes a symbol of our childhood memories.

From a physiological point of view: touching the soft surface of a plush toy will stimulate the brain to secrete neurotransmitters such as dopamine. These chemicals can make us feel happy and relaxed, thus deepening our love and dependence on it.
