When someone breaks my squishy

Having a squishy toy broken by someone else can feel surprisingly upsetting, especially if it’s a favorite or collectible item. From my experience, the first step is to acknowledge your feelings—whether it’s frustration, sadness, or disappointment—and allow yourself to process them. Talking about what happened with someone you trust can also help. If the breakage happened accidentally, consider communicating gently with the person involved. They likely didn't intend to cause harm, and a calm conversation can prevent hurt feelings on both sides. Sometimes, asking if they want to help repair or replace the squishy can turn the situation into a positive experience. For those who collect squishies, I’ve found that documenting my collection with photos and notes helps me keep track and reduces the sting if one gets damaged. Also, storing squishies properly—away from sharp objects or pets—can minimize accidents. Lastly, exploring DIY repair techniques or watching online tutorials can be therapeutic. While some squishies can’t be fixed perfectly, small fixes can restore them enough to remain enjoyable. Remember, squishies are meant to be enjoyed, and while breakage stings, it’s part of their fun and tactile nature.
