I used to do a similar thing! Friend-ship wise tho lol
When everyone was getting older emotionally I was still playing with stuffed animals, and I knew that the really lonely ones would play whatever I wanted to play in exchange for friendship.
Like, in one of my classes once, I met a girl who got kicked out of her friend-group a while ago, and I got excited (Almost twitching lol) because I knew that I could get her to play stuffed animals or whatever with me even tho I was almost 16 lol. Great tip! I might use it for relationships later too.
They get friendship and a group to hang out with, I get to play whatever I want! It’s a win-win situation!
Sorry for the rant
