Do you talk to your dolls.....

I usually just say that they are beautiful and ask if they like their new outfit, shoes, wig, or whatever I got for them. I think talking to them just makes it feel real that they are mine and know that I love them.

 

Sometimes, guess it's according what mood Im in .. sometimes I tell em stop kicking when I'm trying to dress em lol but

 

Sometimes when I'm interacting with them, I don't hear voices in my imagination or anything, but some of my dolls certainly speak to me with their actions
*Doll shifts out of position* are you tired dear? Let's take a break for now.
*Doll's wig pops off for the 917th time despite all efforts to keep it in place* okay, I get it you're tired of this one. We can go to the dolly salon.
*Doll got color transfer on the toes* long day at work, huh? How about a foot scrub?
Yeah, they're a bit spoiled

 

If touch could be considered a language then I feel like I talk to my dolls through the way I hold them. I talk to them in my mind, and in the way I pose them, and where I display them - where I can appreciate them every time I glance their way.
But I don't talk words to them out loud.

 

i talked to my vinyl dolls a little but boy do i talk to my resin strung dolls, mostly when im trying to dress or pose them because they move on their own sooo much im pretty much just arguing with them the whole time

 

I don't hold conversations or anything like that, but I often feel compelled to greet them when I enter a room where there's one or more BJDs, or say "Good night!" to the ones in my bedroom when I'm going to sleep. It feels like it would be rude not to!

They definitely have more of a "presence" than any of my figures/statues. Various humanoid faces looking at me throughout my home is far from new and I've never felt the need to say anything to an anime figure (except to apologize if I knock one over or bonk it on something while moving it, maybe) but the BJDs are something different. I think it's the eyes. They have a lot more "life" in them than the average humanoid object.

Besides, when I inevitably pass on one day, I don't want my BJDs to be "haunted dolls" So I make sure to treat them with courtesy and show them appreciation, just in case there really is something immaterial that rubs off on objects like them.
