Selena Gomez may be 32, but apparently, she’s not too old for stuffed animals.

On her Instagram Story, Selena is seen clutching a teddy bear as she explains, “Sometimes I have really bad dreams, so my friends got me this teddy bear. And listen to what it says.”

She then squeezes one of the bear’s arms, and recorded voices — presumably her friends’ voices — say, “We’re never mad at you.” Selena gasps, smiles and says, “Biggest fear!”

She then squeezes the bear’s other arm and the recorded voices say, “We love you so much!” “Yay!” Selena replies. Next, she squeezes one of the bear’s legs, and the recorded voices say, “We’re never leaving you.”

“Because I have abandonment issues,” Selena explains.

Finally, she squeezes the bear’s other leg, and a voice says, “It was just a dream. Everything’s O.K.”

“‘Cause I have bad dreams!” giggles Selena, and hugs the bear close.

The video is captioned, “Sometimes you need you’re [sic] best friends.” Awww.
