Do you care if other people like your doll?

I have never actually had anyone disapprove of my doll, but if they did, I honestly wouldn't care, since I love them how they are. I have had people tell me they think dolls are creepy, but I show them bjd's, and they don't think they are so creepy.

 

No, not at all except my boyfriend, he has to live with them and spends money on them and starts to share my hobby. His opinion counts.

 

No way. It would hurt all the same to hear them talk down my doll (thankfully, my family is pretty okay with them minus the whole prices thing haha) but at the end of the day, I wouldn't really care. After all, if it's something you love, take care of and got, why care about what others think when you're happy?
Though, honestly, in real life, I'd be the same way you are! I'm that kind of person who is scared of the unknown (I would be terrified to take my future doll to school to show off to friends) and if something goes wrong, I'd be bound to never do it again. But I think for this, you really shouldn't care what others think. Like some others said, maybe they'll even become attached to the doll in time.

 

I guess to an extent, yes. If no one liked my dolls I might not feel comfortable posting photos of them though I'd probably still do it because they're my dolls and I love them just the way they are. It does feel a little nice to have someone comment on a photo of your doll and say that they think they're "pretty" or "cute" but that's just me.

 

I would be happy if someone else liked my dolls as well but all my friends thinks he's creepy but that's mostly because they don't like dolls in general - I think they actually think all my dolls whether bjd or not are creepy lmao - but in the end he's supposed to make me happy not anybody else so all I can really do is attempt to make other people love him without shoving it down their throats I guess c:

 

I honesly don't care if others do not like my dolls or the sculpt that I pick. I buy the sculpt/doll because I like it and it satisfies me . If I were you, I would just buy the sculpt. Who cares what others think? It is your doll after all ^_^

As for buying an unpopular sculpt, of course I would! If I liked it enough and made me happy then yes!

 

Not at all. I'm in this hobby because it makes me happy,it's something I do just for myself. If other people don't like my dolls it's nothing to me.

 

I don't mind at all, it actually gives me a bit of pleasure when people give her odd looks or are like "Your doll is giving me the creeps". When people start getting agressive with me over my doll, thats when it gets me mad, some people have yelled at me actually. I've infected 5 of my friends and my girlfriend with dolls, most of them were scarred at first too. Opinions don't bother me, I really don't care.

 

Only about 4 of my friends know about this hobby, and being non-doll people I'm pretty sure they don't "like" my dolls, but I really don't care. It makes me happy so I'm not going to stop because it. As for doll-people, I guess I do care a little bit. I'm going to go in my own direction with my dolls, but it's nice when others appreciate them too.

 

Depends. If I love the doll and it has that eerie separate personhood feeling for me, I would just count it as personal taste and not be concerned. I might even feel like loving and defending the doll -- yes, heart reaction over reality awareness. I tend to be that way with unique, less popular humans, sometimes the Extra Grace Required [EGR folks -- which no doubt I am to some people ^^] ... Getting back to dolls, the opinion of some people might affect me more than others, . Sometimes, I have to admit I am more needy for approval, especially of my creative efforts. I'd feel more proud of my feelings if they were my own and not affected by others. But I wouldn't be telling the truth.

 

I don't care what others think about my girls either. They've made me smile every single day, since the first one arrived a few weeks ago.

 

My boyfriend has called some of the dolls I like ugly and that has made me stray from them for now... He can't stop me from getting them one day but he helps me make decisions for my next doll In the end I find the dolls I get beautiful and that's all that matters. But when people call my dolls I do have and have molded into what I want "ugly" or "creepy" I do get offended because they're my artistic representations. But I get over it as soon as people start complimenting my dolls I only talk about my dolls with those people

 

I'm pleased if someone likes my dolls but not really concerned if people dislike them!
I usually go out making doll meetings with my friends in parks and public places, there we meet a lot of different people, but they generally approach us in a positive way and take pictures eagerly^^
When we hold expositions at dolls event some collectors of other dolls are enthusiast about us and some others doesn't like BJDs very much, but I think it's pretty normal: no one can like everything in this world ;D

 

I personally don't care if anyone dislikes my doll. As long as I am happy owning the doll, I'm fine. Although i would like if my family could appreciate the doll, or at least like it a little bit. My friends love my doll to death but my family, not really. It does get me a twinge upset when people say my doll is creepy, but that's understandable seeing how people create scary movies about them. Anyways, as long as I love the doll, I will never change my opinion and love for them based on other people's opinions.

 

Honestly, I don't care all that much if people don't like my doll(s). I didn't buy them for other people to like. I bought them because I like them and they are beautiful and special to me. I really wouldn't expect that every single person should like my dolls and feel about them the same way I do. That's not logical or reasonable. Everyone has different tastes and different ideas of what they think is beautiful. My ideal is obviously going to differ from those of others.

I wouldn't let somebody else's opinion of a particular sculpt sway me in my choice to get it, if it was a sculpt I really liked. There are sculpts I personally think are ugly and weird too, but I know other people love those particular sculpts a lot. My opinion of a particular sculpt shouldn't have any bearing on what somebody else chooses, either. Now, that having been said, I wouldn't be thrilled if someone outright told me that my doll was ugly or weird, but it certainly wouldn't make me love my doll any less. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, whether I agree with it or not.

 

No, I don't care if people don't like my dolls. I have some scarey looking dolls in my collection that other people don't like, but it doesn't bother me because I love all of them.

 

To a degree - I have noticed that if my kids really don't like one of my dolls, it is usually looking for another home eventually.

 

I actually care alot and it really affects my plans If i were you though, I would stick to my plans; I bet that your family would love it once they see how awesome it is

 

I do but I don't. I respect my fiance's opinion because we share a limited space and I'd hate for him to look at something he hated all the time. My Dahlia was pushing it, he doesn't care for her much (she sits under a pillow case though to be protected from dust/sun and then he doesn't have to see her either) and he definitely doesn't want me to get a bigger doll, so while I'd like a Trinity Jude if I could afford one, I wouldn't get one because I know he'd be upset. Other than her, he really doesn't have an opinion, though, so it is no major issue. Anyone else, I don't really care what they think about which doll I want.

 

My boyfriend thinks dolls are creepy all together xD but he has come to like some of my characters~ Im sure your family will come to terms with it as well
