1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

    1. LOL! Thats the greatest FML post everrrr XDD but yeah. I hardly have any friends anyways. *loser* haha, so I'd probably not even bother talking to one of my human friends after I get BJDS. lmao, I dont care if thats crazy but real people.. They just.. eh. Idk, it just sucks having to tell them your problems and then being afraid of what they'll say in return. Sometimes they don't say anything that will help anyways! So I'd rather talk to a damn doll about it! D'8

    2. I would rather have a boyfriend there to comfort me than a doll. Dolls are nice, however they are just dolls. They are fake. How can that possibly compare to a real person?

    3. Personally, I would rather have the doll as a distraction than a comfort. If I had a significant other or friend around, I would go to them for comfort because it's more of the physical/emotional interaction. As much as dolls can have their own personalities and significance to someone, I don't believe that I would go to them for comfort if I had access to a person. That's my own personal opinion, at least.

    4. For me it really depends. Just recently i got into a very good relationship and he treats me like a goddess, so in all honestly i go to him more than i have other people in the past.
      BUT it used to be that i would first look to my dolls for comfort, i would hold them and lie in bed for hours because i knew that would make me feel 10x better than talking, especially when i used to be almost alone all the time.
      I generally am a shut in so i do not have many friends, but lately have been looking to a few close people for comfort...

      I do have to say that nothing helps me like my dolls...

    5. I don't particularly talk to my dolls. I have put one on my lap or taken one out and felt distracted and happier, although not when really upset. I'd worry about getting them dirty (I cry really easily -_- ). However, while I do vent via email or somesuch, I rarely tell people my troubles directly or seek comfort from them. If I'm really upset, I want to be alone. There are times when having people around just isn't comforting, so I can see how some people could prefer to talk to their dolls.

    6. Personally I'd be embarrassed if my husband or friend was around to hear me arguing on the phone with a parent. That happened in college a few times and just being seen by another living being, friendly or not, was an added torture. All the pity and questions just meant the thing got relived over and over. I would have vastly preferred being able to be absolutely alone for at least a few hours to try and gather my dignity.

      That said, my husband knows that about me now. He knows that in those situations the best thing he can do is wait for me to cool down and seek him out. I can understand the boy/girlfriend being surprised and insulted but I think they have some growing up to do as well. Not everyone reacts to pain the same way!

    7. A dolls can't speak and can listen everything....this are the advantage XD, you can share secrets with them with confidence.
      About comfort I prefert human....although not ever have reason.

    8. I agree with you. I also find a great deal of peace with my girls and it gives me time to mull over or relax and time for me.
