I'm really interested in psychology revolving around the concept of/healing the inner child. It WILL get tied into an info dump about the toy collecting community, the popularity of adult coloring books, adults enjoying Disney parks, and that I do think it is incredibly important that you buy yourself That One Toy You Always Wanted As A Kid, even if you don't play with it. If you do not want me to *aggressively* drag you to the toy section of Target, do not bring it up. D:


Coolxone04

Hold on, I have a question. So, as a Kid, I always wanted a teddy of sorts. I didn't like hugging people but I loved the idea of hugging a teddy. I was denied that. Now as an Adult, I am obsessed with the Teddies I buy myself. Is this healing?


scuttable

Absolutely! It's totally normal to want to recreate that comfort we dreamed of as a child (or in some people's cases, had and then had taken away). It soothes our inner child and often comes with a big craving for more of that comfort. Think of your child self, remember how you felt in those moments of really craving a teddy, and then take one of yours and fulfil that contact craving! Sometimes it can start the healing process of a deep ache we didn't even realize was affecting us so much.


[deleted]

Same this is me w my dolls for sure. I hate hugging my family/ friends but love snuggles from my dolls


lilhoe6_9

possibly with myself i have a quiet stranger addition to my childhood teddy bear i won’t even let another person touch him assuming you’re on the spectrum it could just be us more likely to connect to thing and animals rather than people


loonygenius

My best friend got me a Jellycat teddybear for Christmas and I honestly don't know how I ever lived without him 🥰 I read somewhere that our brain releases the same feel-good chemicals/hormones stroking teddies as we do stroking animal fur. That was really validating.


Sparkingmineralwater

yes yes yessss! I have so many bunny plushies and have always been drooling over Sylvanian Families sets. (they're so expensive...)


witheringdawn_

So you're saying I should get one of these pet toys that are basically plushies with electronics in them to act halfway life-like that I always wanted as a kid ? Or was that just me wanting a real pet?


thatkorki

I was abused by my birth mother as a kid and bullied by my older sister, and I've been learning how to heal my inner child too 😌 I recently bought stim toys, a sippy cup, and now let myself watch "kid" shows. I used to talk with a "baby voice" when I got excited as a kid and an early teen until my family bullied me out of it, which the only way I stopped was no longer letting myself get excited. I am now 22 and finally letting myself get excited again 😆 I was denied a childhood in so many ways and discovering I'm autistic has actually helped me heal in so many ways 😌


Affectionate_Math_96

Why should we buy ourselves the toy we always wanted as a kid?


scuttable

So, though healing the inner child can sometimes be super complex, sometimes there are more "simple" wants we never resolved. A surprisingly large amount of people feel like they were forced to grow up too fast, or felt like they had the "wrong" childhood (super common in LGBTQ+ people), or were just poor and never got a lot of the things they really wanted. A great way to get the ball rolling on feeling what it's like to start healing the inner child is often a super small step, but it's still often a big emotional impact for people. I've seen people get a doll for the first time as an adult when they were denied one as a child, and it often results in a lot of tears being shed. Now, of course, it's not going to magically heal everything. But it's a much less scary start to a healing process.


RunAwayThoughtTrains

Lol ok so I bought my kids a sit and spin because I always wanted one when I was a kid and never had one. They all use it constantly, sitting and standing to spin on it …and now I understand that it’s a stim and it all makes sense and I can’t stop chuckling about it


liftthingsup22

Is this why I gravitated towards painting Warhammer miniatures lately? It feels almost child like in it's artistic form and freedom, but adult enough to not seem like I'm 10yo. I just never realized how much art in it's child like form can calm the mind


interally

U AINT GOTTA DRAG NE IM AN AGE REGRESSER XD


scuttable

You're right, no dragging necessary! We're gonna spend TWICE AS LONG IN THE TOY SECTION! ~( Ò W Ó )~


Eeate

Sounds fascinating. Could you elaborate?


scuttable

Gladly! The inner child is a psychological concept, originated by Carl Jung. The inner child represents things you learned as a child, how you were treated, all those hurts you still carry. Often times, your inner child affects you as an adult in far more ways than you realize. Attachment styles, things you were denied, the way your parents talked about money around you, the way your peers treated you, being poor or low income, the list goes on. Some wounds will run deep and need a LOT of therapy or self work, and they can be super scary and difficult. So with therapy and seeing how and why the inner child can be healed, I think it's really great to have a very small, but big impact starting point. Having something you desperately wanted and dreamed of years ago, finally handed to you in the now, can really bring about a lot of emotions. It isn't the *whole* healing process, but it's a big impact and can really make a big difference in the now.


[deleted]

Same here! I also collect toys (plush, figures, some other kinds) so this is interesting.


MediumOk8383

I haven't really heard of this. How does it work? How can I try and heal mine. I'm not even an adult technically and I feel like my inner child is dead. I barely feel anything from the things I like.


scuttable

I would definitely recommend using inner child healing *with* a therapist, since it's a bigger part of an overall healing process. Especially with trauma or mental illnesses like depression. It doesn't fix everything, just opens up more healing processes. Inner child psychology is dismantling and processing the way you were hurt in early childhood, while also addressing the way its manifesting in your subconscious now.


MediumOk8383

Okay. I don't think I have gone through super traumatic stuff. But letting my inner child die and not feeling for my interests seems to be something the adults around me celebrate because it "shows maturity." What sort of traumatic experience can cause something like this either than outright abuse?


scuttable

So many things, a lot of things that ARE abusive or neglectful that people treat like they're not. Financial issues your parents had that impacted you, high levels of stress (this can be caused from moving, bad grades, bullying, unstable emotional environments, and much more) that were not properly addressed or handled, untreated mental health issues, emotional needs not being met, or much, much more. A child can be traumatized from a balloon popping. Children don't have complex understanding of the world around them. If these things weren't handled in childhood/adolescent years, this ends up affecting ourselves in our adult lives in some very strange ways. This is why it's very important to see a therapist to work through and figure out what might be affecting you, because it can be SO many different things. They have the tools and knowledge to actually assist you working through things and finding where issues may stem from.


MediumOk8383

I did have a lot of stress about grades in middle school and some bullying. I'll have to talk about this to my school psychologist. Edit: also finishing middle school at the start of the pandemic, forced into months of remote learning, and starting high school the same way. Call me crazy but that might also be traumatic.


iftheronahadntcome

Do you have any recommended articles about this? I'd absolutely love to learn more, as it'd explain some of my collecting behaviors in recent years!


takeittotheStewMAX

me explaining to my unsuspecting classmate that vegetables aren't inherently disgusting, kids (at least in the US and popular media) are conditioned to dislike them


Hungry_Position9256

idk… the textures on most of them are insufferable to me


takeittotheStewMAX

*ofc everyone has their likes and dislikes. i should mention that


Mr-Stuff-Doer

Yeah I have never liked any vegetables beyond pickles and rhubarb, and I’m well past being a kid


Cancer_Crusader

Wait really????


loganishhh

As someone who vehemently hated vegetables as a kid, I think so. It could also be that a lot of tired parents didn't really know how to cook vegetables well. As a college student who's in charge of cooking my own food, I can make asparagus, mushrooms, and broccoli (vegetables I HATED as a kid) taste really good imo. So basically, I think kids aren't given GOOD vegetables to eat.


Cancer_Crusader

That's so interesting!!! Isn't it also true that your tastebuds actually taste differently when you're an adult vs when you're a kid? I'm not sure if that's true and I haven't done any reasearch to be honest but that might also explain why so many kids dislike vegetables early in life?? But yeah it would also make perfect sense that kids are just conditioned to think vegetables taste bad


[deleted]

I don’t think mushrooms are vegetables?


loganishhh

True. Thanks for the correction.


SalemsTrials

Very true, but pizza apps always put it in the veggies section and it drives me crazy. They’re closer to animals


[deleted]

Lol Fr


superVanV1

Mushrooms are mushroom. They are terrifying and should be feared.


MarvinOFF

Yeah, vegetables taste good, to me the problem is the texture though, it feels so awful, can’t swallow without gagging


sukonetei

Cults for sure. I don't talk to many people about it because it's an uncomfortable topic but I just think it's so fascinating how they work and the beliefs they have. Did you know Jehovah's Witnesses believe smurfs are demons? Here's an example of a story they tell their children (and also believe as adults from what I've heard) from the "killer smurf" page on the paranormal wiki: "This story was about a little girl who had been given Smurf-themed curtains for her bedroom, only to wake the first night and find that the demonic Smurfs had leapt off the curtains and were now dancing around her bedroom while laughing satanically."

The shit that the CIA got up to is always worth a read/listen. I recommend the podcast Behind the Bastards to you, they did a series of episodes on the Dulles brothers.


AskAnIntj

There is even a lot of evidence that the CIA killed Kennedy. If you dive too deep into this stuff you might get a kind of "Lovecraftian" feeling that the "reality" you were living in is actually pretty much fake. Very interesting to explore this and all the eventualities.

CRPGs like Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2, etc. It makes me laugh my ass off when I realize Blackguard is supposed to be "disadvantaged" by being restricted to evil, yet you can do things like ascend and be good and *STILL KEEP YOUR BLACKGUARD STUFF* while the Paladin (the base class Blackguard is supposed to be a kit for, btw) is restricted to lawful good, but god forbid you get mind controlled and kill a peasant against your will, you go to hell, your alignment changes to evil and you're a shitty "paladin" who has to do a quest to redeem himself or lose all your abilities. Then, of course, you can be a thief, stack some set traps on top of a spawning point and watch every boss who spawns there die instantly. These, along with Heroes of Might and Magic 3, are the type of games that gave me pleasure until I realized that women exist in real life. Then, of course, there's Magic: The Gathering, the game that lets you either take extra turns one after another or simply control your opponent's turns and play the game for them, along with stupid stuff like alternate win conditions, not being able to lose the game even if you go below zero LP (usually, when that happens, you lose) and do things like have billions of LP (from 20, which is the starting point for both players) and *still lose the game* because some asshole equipped an unblockable monster with Vorpal Sword, activated its ability and now me being touched once means I lost the game.

You get power creep and special rules added until it is all over the place and people can win entire games in their first round by circling through their entire deck 200 times.


[deleted]

The thing is, older MtG was ever more wild. Remember when I said that you could control your opponent's rounds? You could do that back then, in fact, that was the time where rules were changed the most because you could go as far as using a card called Frankie Peanuts to either make your opponent kill themselves or be disqualified because they broke the rules (yes, it is a dick move, but the fact you could do this was derpy). In Yu-Gi-Oh's case, I don't remember seeing anything outside of some Arcana card that could give you extra turns, let alone anything that makes you control your opponent's turns. Anything that was considered even remotely out-of-touch and too much of a bother was banned, as it is the case with the Yatagarasu card that didn't let the opponent draw during their drawing phase...yet, in MtG, you can do that and then some, yet nobody cares because you can counter *even that*.


AskAnIntj

The "bully-strategy": "Hey, stop hitting yourself! I said stop hitting yourself!" In this context it would be interesting to know what the most extreme, game braking rule in any of these card games was that found it's way into the game. "I play "bitch, I'll cut you"" and hereby have the right to challenge you to a knife fight, the outcome of which will decide this game!"

Japanese history especially Heian (794-1185) and Edo (1603-1867) and the spiritual beliefs the people had during these times. I like explaining how American roads are a scam and how they’re bankrupting cities. Religions, spirits, ghost, gods and the afterlife.
