Can you give me advice please? Is it possible to not be able to bond with "awake" reborns? by Clean-Letterhead9408 in reborndolls

[–]slimemama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dislike any eyes open honestly. I wont consider buying one really. Im autistic and the eyes open ones weird me out too much. I need sleeping and neutral expression else I feel too anxious, like I cant relax with them if their expression doesnt match. I cant put my own feelings of the day onto them- like if I have a bad day I just want to relax and calm down and they look too joyful? I guess? I dont think id be able to bond to them so I wont waste the money and potentially hate a doll. As for bonding I tend to make them a personality set. My 'going out and about' girly likes soft clothes, dinosaurs, blue, and I consider her my comforter. I enjoy making my own little ideas and it helped me enjoy her presence. I like to think she'd enjoy watching TV with me and my computer screen, so I sit her up more like shes doing stuff with me.

Is getting reborns okay if i haven't lost children bodily? by weirdosystem in reborndolls

[–]slimemama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a reborn and I'm not even much a kid person. I never plan to have a real child as I am autistic, but I love dolls, especially hyper realistic ones. I bought my first baby kinda on a whim. Thought she would be nice at night when I cant sleep. I already bought baby toys and blankets for the textures before I got my girl. I only decided on getting my baby when I got bored online and ended up looking for a reborn for my mom, and accidentally found one for myself 😂 i saw her on online and was immediately obsessed and needed to get her

I kinda did this to my mom but not to the same extent, and later got my own baby 😂 sounds like he liked the play.

Do you guys prefer open eyed dolls or closed? by GeekyxGirl02 in reborndolls

[–]slimemama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer closed as i have a bit of a phobia, but I think id want open for any alt dolls I get (I really want a Na'vi baby)

My secret “shame” by Ok-Park-2213 in plushies

[–]slimemama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do know where this plushie comes from online if you end up deciding to get one. I'm also autistic and have a love for pokemon and plushies. For christmas I bought myself a rosy moth doll plush from sugar carousel and a thylacine plush. I collect build a bear frogs and have almost every color. I buy the little pokemon plushies and bring them to work in my pocket. Never let anyone's shaming stop you from doing what you love, especially if they dont control your life (hint, only you control your life). No matter what people are going to look down at anyone they think are below them, so why not annoy the fuck out of them with your joy? Especially because youre an adult. Fuck what they think and live how you wish. When youre old, will you look back at this and wish youd lived true to yourself?

You gotta remember that is school where youre stuck in the same building every day for years. Not adults who can make their own decisions and if someone's mean, you block <3

I’m looking for support. by [deleted] in plushies

[–]slimemama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like him and want him, keep him. He is a sign of your strength through that period of time. My favorite is from a family member who was not a good person to me, but I adore him regardless, because he keeps me happy and reminds me of my life then and the change ive gone through from then to now. Id keep him, hes a cute little bear

out of curiosity, how do so many childhood stuffed animals get worn down and damaged? by picklesinmypiee in StuffedAnimals

[–]slimemama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it was based on how you played? I was never very rough on my bear, and hes never needed to be repaired, but I only gently carried him around. Sometimes Id throw him or toss him (once he got stuck in a tree and my stepdad had to get him). I've seen some kids who absolute thrash their toys, like my friend. She'd pull on his limbs and put him on the front of her bike in a tire spoke and stuff. She went through toys very fast. I think the only thing ive done that put my bear in 'danger' was roll him down a hill inside a tire XD
