Do you talk to your dolls.....

I talk to my dolls all the time, but I also talk to my plants, my computer, my sewing machine, my toaster...
Mostly I casually comment on whatever is going on. I may tell a doll to behave if the pose slips, I may compliment or critizise their look when I try something on them, I have on many occations heard myself apologize to them when accidentally bumping into them when organizing their shelf.
If I'm having trouble coming up with an idea for an outfit, a face up or something else like that, I do sometimes sit the doll down in front of me and ask it what it wants. It's a good way to focus on what the doll represents and playing around with what the doll would answer. Often, what they "say" guide me in my decisions. (Funnily enough, though, I do have two problem dolls. One is a quiet type who just doesn't like to ask for stuff so she doesn't help much. The other is a guy who always wants big and extravagant stuff that he can't have and he is never happy to compromize.)
I don't often sit down and talk to them as if they were people, but I do sometimes play out conversations between them in my head to help with character developement.

 

I just kind of curse at them when I’m trying to dress them and they’re being difficult about it. Or when I’m trying to take photos and they won’t hold their poses. Like why won’t your arm stay where I put it?

 

I talk to basically everything I collect, not just my dolls! My plushies are the things I talk to the most, though.

Inanimate objects can't interrupt me or change the subject on me. ;w;

 

Absolutely If they're going to cost so much, they better listen to me! It's really a daily routine. I might chat with them a bit when I wake up in the morning, when I go to sleep at night, when I lose matches in video games.. They're good company.

 

I'm very chatty with my dolls, mostly when playing/posing/dressing them, but since some of them also hang out at my desk when remote working, I have been known to talk with them for no particular reason (they make much better coworkers than most of my human ones, that's all)

 

I love hearing that people do chat with their dolls. For the most part, I do not talk to my dolls (except in my head) but I sure do talk to my pets. It sounds warm and kind.

 

I tried talking to them, but I feel silly, especially when a friend comes over and wonder whom am I'm taking to. So I quit, I guess the dolls doesn't mind.

 

I definitely talk to my dolls. I work from home in my basement office. My girls rotate positions so one of them is always sitting at my desk with me and the rest sit on their bookshelf. I’m always venting and complaining to whomever is sitting with me. I talk to my dogs as well.

 

I apologize to them if I accidently twisted their joints the wrong way.

 

I talk to them in my head not out loud it feels awkward to me but no shame for others who do talk to their dolls out loud

 

Nope

 

Oh yeah 100%, I often apologize for the awkward positions I have to put them in when I dress them or scold them for not being cooperative. I also talk to them when I'm stressed or had a bad day, they're like my little resin therapists

 

Yea. Especially when posing. I’m like “can you just cooperate for just a few minutes?”
“Ugh why can’t you let me put these pants on you” stuff like that haha

 

Yes... I think it's a habit I picked up from talking to my plush toys. Not sure if I would want my dolls to reply though.

 

Oh yes I do lol when I'm dressing them or doing there wigs I be like 'come on Yumi or say come on now Kikyo and I swear sometimes with Xyla about dressing her cause she's hard headed lol..think she's a nudiest cause seems she don't like clothes lol

 

I talk at them, not to them. Mostly chastising them for all the clothing ideas they put into my imagination and no time to bring it to fruition.

 

I talk to my dolls in Japanese. Talking to them in English feels so unnatural. Maybe because my character dolls are Japanese? Not sure why

 

I do! Mostly while I dress or pose them for pictures. It's usually telling them not to fall over or complaining though.

 

Omg all the time! My dolls sit on my wfh office desk and I talk to them while I work lol. Just like mundane stuff or even work related frustrations. I'll even make sure I pop in and say hello on the weekends too! I can't get it out of my head that they'll be sad if I don't

 

I have a variety of dolls in my craft space, which is my own personal space, but it is home to my BJDs. I comment about them, mostly, as my boyfriend enjoys my 'kiddos' too, or at least he enjoys how happy they make me as I make plans to develop their characters; I tell him who they are, where they've been and where they are going. He has a great eye when I need a second opinion! I talk comforting to the tinys as they are so young, cute and adorable. They get a bit jealous to see how much attention the SDs get. I sometimes drop in to the library where the Compos have their home to say 'hi' and admire them as 'the girls' have been with me longest. They are a bit neglected these days, but still quite sweet.
