It’s the brainchild of a Bulgarian company founded by model and Creative Designer Ina Marholeva and Product and Creative Manager Tonia Berdankova.

I think its very sad that we even need such a thing especially at Christmas, but unfortunately there will be lots of people in that situation.

Not sure If I mentioned this last year, but in our small village. families plate extra Christmas dinners and either invite people over or take the meal to them.

That thing is creepy looking!

Not beyond that, I think it's sad that people are so emotionally fragile anymore. They can't stand to be alone. They can't seem to find purpose. That's pitiful.

Even if you did mention it, there’s no harm in mentioning it again. Such a beautiful story! Thanks for sharing!

Nah, it’s not creepy—it’s pure, unadulterated nightmare fuel!

Exactly. On the one hand, I think we all seek to understand and empathize with those who struggle with mental health challenges, especially at Christmas. On the other hand, many of our parents and grandparents (those of the Greatest Generation) stormed the beaches of Normandy.

Using myself as an example, I have a personal, very deep desire to find a wife and be married. It can be lonely in the sleigh sometimes. But do you think I’m really going to put my life on hold until that (hopefully) happens? Of course not! I’m not going to fret if that day never comes. People have to find purpose outside of themselves, both during the holidays and all year long.

I pity those who have genuine mental health struggles, who might sort of (possibly) benefit from something like this. I have a hard time with Peter Pan Syndrome. Case in point: Elon Musk buys Twitter and wants his employees to, you know, actually come into work like adults (don’t get me started on the dumb nonsense word “adulting,” whatever the heck that means . . . a flight from responsibility if you ask me). They responded by having hissy fits. Apparently, many quit, many more were fired.

I don’t know what I was expecting when I read “emotional support bear”, but it wasn’t that lol.

I do kind of get it though. I remember when my wife moved away for grad school I purchased a body pillow just to have something to wrap myself around at night. Was definitely a comfort.

Um…no. This Santa will not be delivering this toy, or other similar looking toys for adults.

Exactly. Sorry—but it’s just too creepy! Having said that, if an adult asks you to bring them a new car (for example), you can always pull out a few small matchbox cars. That’s funny and cute. This? This is just creepy!
