talking to your BJD

I talk to my dolls, my bird, my stuffed animals and everything *lol*

 

I sometimes talk to my dolls, like if they aren't coming out right in photos I try to give them posing advice as I move them around haha!

 

I talk to mine a lot lol they know how I feel I like to give them loads of cuddles as I don’t get cuddles from anyone or family except my dog she loves cuddles

 

I always talk to them coz I treat them as beings.

 

I do! I coo at them too much and I know for a fact they are half amused half annoyed by it.

 

I sort of do! Most “conversations” that happen if any at all tend to be silent, just in my head. But I’ve found that I’ll still chatter to my doll sometimes under my breath, especially when I’m working on homework or a new dress into the very late, quiet hours of the night and everyone else is asleep except me, or when it’s just me at home. I mumble and mutter a lot of stuff out loud to my doll lolollll. “Be careful now” if I’m sitting her on the table edge, or “There you go” when I’m adjusting her wig, or “Check this out” when I’ve finished sewing her something new!

I think by far the most common phrase I’ll say to my doll is, “Oop — sorry.” Accidentally bump her so she flops over? “Oop — sorry.” Jostle her wig while changing her clothes? “Oop — sorry.” Realize I’m touching her face while adjusting her head? “Oop — sorry!!”

 

I lisp quietly "you're so cute" and kiss my most beloved dolls on their foreheads when I try on some new wigs etc. and I feel great about their new look. Usually, it's the child-like, plumpier dolls I like hugging. I love being kissed on forehead the most, so that's why

 

I talk to my dolls all of the time. I think of them as my children. In other doll clubs, I have written and posted stories about them.

I, especially, talk to my Iplehouse BID when I am dressing her because her wig has a tendency to fall off. I will say something like, "Elyse, Mama does not want you to lose your hair today so please be a good girl," She will answer back (well in my mind), "Yes, Mama, I will." She is such a good child.

 

Well... sometimes it happens

 

Yes, I do. I scold them when they get kicky, calling them "bad boy" or "bad girl"(depending on who is being kicky). Complement them on their wigs, eyes, clothes, shoes(I'm always saying how adorable my LTF and KDF are, and how pretty my Supia and F60 girls are). Praise them for "cooperating" with my posing them. I also apologize if I bump into one by accident, or if I knock their wigs off when trying to pose them.

 

I definitely talk to my doll all the time! I don't talk to just any inanimate object, but I sometimes talk to toys and other objects that are modeled on real creatures. I still vividly remember how alive my toys felt when I was a kid, and I kind of feel like I'm honouring that when I talk to them? They're not in-depth conversations. Usually stuff like 'are you comfortable there?' and that sort of thing, similar to what others have said in this thread.

 

I dream up whole personalities for my dolls. I think it’s perfectly normal to talk to them or for them.

 

Talking to my dolls has become a regular thing, I feel that even as I'm handling them, that I'm bothering them a bit. Like all they'd like to do is watch the windows and relax. Not whatever I am doing to them....lol
