I wish you the best in repairing it, because you're in dire straights. If a woman gives you a stuffed bear and you break it...tsk, you might has well have spit on her extended hand.
I suggest trying to get a new one if you can't repair it. If not, perhaps changing your name and wearing a disguise until the shame passes.
Nein, a little friendly teasing perhaps, but I wouldn't mock someone I don't even know. But, truly, the lady is sure to be offended. In all seriousness, apologize as sincerely as you can...or find a way to repair or replace the bear.
But, ja, you're in a bit of trouble. Women do not take kindly to having their gifts abused.
Ah, why not? You seem sorry that it's broken or you wouldn't be asking for help. If you didn't care what she thought, you'd simply have thrown it away and not given it another thought.
But, if she's a violent sort, repairing it might be wise.
Wish that you find a solution to your problem? Ja, I do. I hope the lady's feelings aren't injured and that she is not angry with you. Not because of ...fear.
Ach, just...whoever she is, she must like you if she gave you a teddy bear. It would be a shame if she were disappointed that you didn't like her gift. That's all.
It's not about fear or loss of face, just ...no one likes to see a young woman feel bad, ja?
No, no one deserves to feel that way. If you want to be respected as a man, you cannot break your toys and behave in such a way. I'm not saying this to insult you, I'm saying it to warn you.
You don't want to be perceived as a little boy who tears up teddy bears and is mean to women. It's unbecoming.
I'm afraid people can only work with what they are given. Most say that respect is earned and not given, but I believe that respect is given. At least it should be.
Given but easily lost, but it can be earned back again.
I'm not sure how you wish other to think of you as: powerful perhaps? Dangerous?
But the image project when being deliberately contrary and sullen, is not a favorable one. But, it is a common enough...issue for many young men.

I don't have either. It's severe. [What he means is he dissected it.]
Re: [Voice]
You seem distressed over it, did you break someone else's teddy bear?
Re: [Voice]
Re: [Voice]
Oooh, did a woman give it to you?
[Voice]
[Paaaaause] Yes.
Re: [Voice]
Ach, that's not good.
