How do I detach myself from old stuffed animals?

I have been completely attached to A LOT of stuffed animals for awhile. I know its time to move on and get rid of them, but they mean a lot to me.....I have a hard time looking at them and thinking of getting rid of them. Please help! I need advice, I don't want to be embarrassed when friends come and see all the stuffed animals i own.

1. what i did is i gave them to my little cousins that way when i go over to vist them i can see my old stuffed animals, or get rid of like maybe 3or4 then start building up on that number
2. its soo hard to get rid of them i know.. i had like 4 garbage bags full. ask someone to do it with you. you can choose one to keep! the one that means the most. when someone is there like a family member or friend you are in a controlled environment and they wont let you fail! memories suck to get rid of. but memories come and go.ya? and it sucks to face the reality. but when you move on you will fall A LOT better! like a new person. and maybe its time for a change. as long as the memories are in your head. you will not need the stuffed animals. you could even write your memories down. keep them somewhere. like on some sticky notes. when your not feeling so good. look at those notes! it will remind you of the memories AND the stuffed animals! good luck!!!!!!
3. I have had the same problem! Donate them to a good cause! Like a homeless shelter! That's what I am going to do. Whenever you miss them or think about them- know that they are going to someone who needs them more and has had a tougher life than you. I hope this helps! -DifferentDesigner13
4. Pick 3-5 of your favorite. You should pick the ones that you got as a baby, From a close relative, for the most special day of your life. The rest you can give to charity and think of a little girl or boy in poverty getting a special present that they will soon attach to... If you have more then five then look at the ones you kept, hold it, then see if you can remember how you got it. If you can't then don't keep it... And don't keep ones because you think they are cute. If they have no meaning to your life then you don't need it... Your growing up so be a Big Girl and take control of your stuffed situation.
