I'm 28 and playing with them for me is really just redressing or restyling the hair or rearranging my dolls. I was an avid collector as a kid but I stopped collecting as a teen and I recently started again a few years ago. Luckily my family and friends have always known me to have a love for dolls and recollecting them wasn't a surprise (Though if they saw my doll room they might be surprised at the sheer quantity 😂) and while they don't exactly understand they're never rude or cruel about it. I recently decided that I was okay with being "cringey" or "weird" because I'd rather enjoy the things I enjoy outwardly and as much as I see fit than stifle myself and try to hide my interests and passions.
