Do you talk to your dolls.....

all the time, yes! but to be fair i’ll talk to pretty much any inanimate object compliments, complaints, and apologies if i knock them over

 

All the time. I used to talk to my dolls a lot when I was alone, now I talk to them less but I am also getting them back out in the open after five years of keeping them in boxes. Right now I'm working on retooling all of their characters so I can have a cohesive story to take photos with again.

 

I talk to my dolls all of the time. Mostly compliments and exclamations of frustration lol!

 

I talk to them irregularly. Mainly when I am messing around with my dolls is when I talk to them.

 

I talk to my dolls... but only recently I noticed how I talk to them. I ask them questions - sometimes rhetorical, sometimes not. And usually while making eye contact with them.

"How are you doing today?"
"You're looking grumpy/happy/satisfied/naughty today, y'know?"
"You gonna stand/pose for me?" (I think I ask this the most - and while looking them in the eye)
"Can you please stop falling over?"
"Will you stop fighting so I can get your clothes off/on?"
"You look unhappy. You really don't want to wear this, do you?"
"Do know how annoying you are to restring?"
"Do you know how cute/gorgeous/handsome you look right now?"
"You really love her/him/[name of other doll], don't you?"
"Whyyyyy howwwwww are you so beautiful?" ;_; (also asked a lot)

I'm not sure if I expect an answer.... and I don't know if I answer the questions myself? I'm gonna pay more attention to this!

 

When I do photoshoots with them, yeah. But more along the lines ranging from "Stay still, demmet!!!" to "Please don't fall, please don't fall...."

 

I do - I say good morning and goodnight, ask his opinion on whatever I'm making for him, ask him to sit/stand nicely when I'm posing him and apologise if I accidentally knock him over, twist his limbs etc

But I talk to everything to be honest, animate or otherwise

 

I absolutely do, sometimes I say hello and goodbye to them when coming from or leaving for work

 

oh yes, but that's because I sometimes have a hard time of maintaining a train of thought just in my head... I will also talk to my cat and, for a while, I kept a dedicated plush in my car just to talk at.

 

If I don't talk to them how will I know they know I love them

 

I find myself sometimes talking to my dolls when I redress or photograph them. lol.

 

I talk to my dolls a little, moreso now than when I last posted. One of my off-topics sits right next to the door so I always pat her head as I pass and say hello. I usually talk to them as I dress and pose them too but I've taken to saying goodnight to "everybody." It's silly but harmless eccentricity.

 

no i don't talk to my dolls

 

Yes, but only when that f*$%ing Google speaker isn't in the room. Otherwise, it tends to chime in, and then I have to yell, "I wasn't talking to you!"
I try to say nice things, but when restringing, uh, yeah. Lots of cursing. I'll apologize after, tho. "It wasn't you. It was the Hulk at Dream Valley."

 

I even talk to food I'm preparing so it would be strange for me to not talk to my small humanoid figures.

 

I do, a bit. I don't have any characters I'm trying to shell, so a lot of it is me thinking out loud when I'm trying to work out my dolls' personalities, like "oh okay you don't want that wig to come off, I see" or "let's try the blue eyes again".

 

Yes, I talk to my dolls. In the same way I used to talk to my kids when they were babies. "how about we wear this today". "you like this one". "Oh, look how cute you are". Usually when I am dressing them or putting a new or different wig on them. I talk out loud as long as no one else is in the room with me.

 

Sometimes I do… mostly when I’m dressing them or when their wigs sometimes fall off. A few of my dolls have a very strong presence so I end up talking to them more often than others… especially my Shiwoo

 

I'm not really one to talk to inanimate objects. I do however feel different personalities/vibes from each of my dolls.

 

Last time I caught myself saying "You're a cutie, you know?" to one of my dolls. I was shocked because it's what I usually say to my cat
Aside that, I talk to them like I talk to inanimate things like a door or a table. Like saying "sorry!" when I hit them unwillingly.
