Do you care if other people like your doll?

mydaffer, I'm so sorry you had to learn this lesson this way. Always be happy with what you love, because at the end of the day, that's all that matters.

Perfect, Buzzingbumblebee! And that's the way everyone should think. Only you know what's best for you.

8blkpaws, I hear you on this. As human beings, we seek acceptance in almost everything we do, but in the end, like you said, if it makes you happy buying it, that's what counts.

 

I don't care because at the end of the day I love them and that's all that matters.

 

I originally had a DZ Felian and I knew before purchasing her that a lot of people weren't fans of DZ at the time (they were a new company back then, I believe.) But man did I love that girl! I continued posting her whenever I could, and eventually came to see people telling me they were her favorite Felian to see...which was really nice. Seemed like the opinion of DZ was going up a bit!

I don't have her anymore, but she's with a new owner who loves her just as much if not more than I did! Here's one of my last and favorite pictures I have of her -

 

If other people like my dolls that's just lovely but, ultimately, I buy them for me!

 

I wouldn't care if people didn't like the sculpt of my doll, but you know everyone to their own!

 

i'm really happy when people says that my man is beautiful^^

 

nobody seems to like my dolls except my fellow DC lover
seriously.....my DC has no admirer at my community, ok...maybe her character is a bit freaky, i choose to make up my doll a gothic style and its frightening people...especially with DC sculpt and unique body....i think my friends is afraid of my doll :p
thats frustating, they love volks, soom, iple and other beautiful sculpts...but those sculpts never drawn me to excitement like my DC brought me

i love my doll so much...i dont care about others opinion ^^

 

I would lie if I said no. Of course it feels great when others like my dolls and make compliments about them. But I would never stop loving a doll because others don't like her.

 

I just bought my first doll about two weeks ago. So, yeah, I care too much about what other people think about her. But at the same time, since I'm a beginner (despite lurking around the forums for 5 years.... not a beginner with dolls in general, just as a doll owner) I tend to think that I'm forgiven certain things 'cause I've owned a doll for such a short time... You know, can't have a perfect face up or perfect pictures, 'cause I don't have the skills yet.

But, I will buy whatever sculpt I like, reagrdless of what anyone says.

So I guess I care too much and not at all at the same time.

 

It is pleasure if other people like my doll, but really, I don't care about what others think about my doll if I love it.

 

I think i am influenced by what i see other people do with their dolls as some of them have been very inspiring but ultimatly the choice of sculpt would be based on the character i was trying to create and what really grabbed me.
Saying this, i would be really sad if people told me my doll was ugly or a waste of money. I do care about what other people think..

 

I like to think that I don't let peoples words affect me but I will admit that there are one or two people who do carry some weight whether I will admit it to myself or not. My twin sister is the biggest person. It's lame but if she calls one of my dolls cute and means it, then it practically super glues me affection wise to that doll. If she doesn't like them then I can still love the doll but it's a much longer process. My boyfriend, parents and assorted family opinions I could care less about but my sister...her words just drip drop in the brain like water torture.

 

I don't mind when people don't like any BJDs (since they are incredibly stylised, though it's easy to forget that once you've looked at lots of dolls over a long period of time). I'm sometimes a bit self-conscious when someone who normally likes BJDs doesn't like a style I like, like the people who post on Soom's website bashing certain dolls I love for looking 'vapid' or 'empty-headed', for example. I just try to remind myself that there are so many dolls out there that I don't like, and that I don't dislike dolls to hurt people or judge people badly if they like those dolls I don't like. No one's personal taste exists to hurt you or insult you, and so as long as people aren't expressing their personal taste in a rude way, there's no reason to feel bad about it.

 

It would make me happy to hear that someone other than me likes my doll. But it would not upset me if they didn't. I don't really care what others say about my doll. If I like my doll, nothing would make me re-think and change my decision.

 

I really don't care if other like my doll or not. The important thing is I like them and happy to play with them that's all.

 

No, I do not really need for others to like the dolls I pick. I buy for myself. There are many people around me that do not understand dolls in general. I guess I am use to this now.

 

I've never really had any negative feedback from my relatives or people I live with or see on a daily basis on my dolls themselves... I've had relatives call Pan creepy or gross because of her gore mod, but I've honestly never taken that as an insult because it's true... Even if they mean it in a bad way I just pretend it's in a good way.

One time my ex-boyfriend did insult my boy doll's wig, and to be honest it kinda made me hate the wig even if I know better than to take it to heart... I'm now considering getting him a new one just because I don't like it anymore :/

But a wig is easy to change, for the doll itself? I think if someone insulted or disliked a doll that I had paid a lot of money for and put a lot of effort into and loved a lot, I'd tell them to keep it to themselves because I don't care.

Positive feedback is always so nice though from irl people when my dad saw my newest girl he was wowed and commented on her beautiful eyes (even though they're just temporary eyes hehe) and it made me so happy

 

It's nice when people admire your dolls or say nice things about them, but my dolls are for me so even if some clod says something negative or mean about them, I just shurg my shoulders. I collect them to make me happy and they do

Usually I don't care what other people think about my dolls but the people that are close to me, I want them to like my dolls as much as I do. I usually only show some of my co-workers what sculpt I'm thinking about buying. I just like to hear their before and after comments. I ultimately decide on what doll I want to buy even if everyone else thinks it's creepy or weird.

 

Well this is easy for me......I'm single & I have no friends "in person" who like dolls. Their opinions are interesting & the most common one is they scare me....it's like their eyes are evil. I have one doll friend I met on Ebay in 2002 & we've been close friends ever since. We support each other in all of our dolly loves. Obviously I don't care what others think.....LOL !!!
