>>9082793OP, I came here because I saw drifting trains from another board and I was curious. Here's an outside perspective: collecting toys as an adult is a bit strange, but I completely understand it. I still like to play video games I played when I was young, I think its very similar. If this hobby gives you immense comfort - you don't need to rid yourself of it because you are a bit ashamed - likewise, don't indulge in what gives you comfort; that is a bad route no matter how "cool" your hobby/pleasures/distractions are.
My advice is this: Your toys aren't important, in a positive or negative sense, therefore if they make you happy keep them. What's important is that you can live a life you are proud of, and from being in positions of very low self esteem myself I can tell you that although it might not seem like it, a weird hobby isn't a big deal - its much more important you start doing constructive things like building skills and good habits then it is to try and rid yourself of things for social reasons. Keep the toys as long as they make YOU happy, don't worry about what other people think too much, and don't go over board with these types of hobbies.
If you really want to get rid of the toys, then wait until its easy. When its easy to get rid of them, if that's really what you are meant to do, you will have already made 80% of the progress anyways. Getting rid of them out of shame won't make you any progress anyways.
