I have collected dolls for nearly 43 years and I have heard all of the criticisms you mentioned as well many others. Some people need a reason they can understand. You do a great job and are one of my favorite You Tubers.
This was great. You brought up a lot of good points, especially the fact that we're not mentally ill. :) I would add that I collect dolls because the world at large is maddening and I would rather spend my brain energy on doll-related pursuits that make me smile. Thanks for sharing!
Another great video, Sophia! I really loved this because for a while I was unsure why I even like the dolls.. I just.. do. I never appreciated the history until recently, unfortunately, and I missed out on quite a few historical collections that my adult self appreciates much more than my teen collector self did. You hit the nail on the head for me on why I love them so much, and not only that, you pointed out such a variety of ways that dolls can be enjoyed. The assumptions at the end were a great touch, too!
All your reasons for loving doll collecting are the same reasons I love collecting, too! I love looking up info and history. I love architecture as well, so I love dollhouse miniatures, too! Love your videos, great job!😊
Great video! These people who give negative comments, I believe they are the ones who have issues. It’s fun to video, photograph, display and dress the dolls, they are pretty to look at too! You have a very nice display and I love watching your Marie Grace spills the tea lol. Have a great week!
This was a great and well explained video! One reason I collect dolls is because I enjoy storytelling and character creation. I love giving my dolls different personalities and styles and featuring them in videos that I create. I also collect them a lot for the similar reasons you mentioned.
I loved this video! I also like to think collecting is in my genes too, my dad loved to collect lots of things from musical instruments to DVD from his childhood & model car kits, and it seems there is a theme on my moms side where all my aunts have loved miniatures or Lego building. I lost my dad this year but collecting dolls is something he always supported me and encouraged me to do as a child as well as an adult and I'm so thankful the hobby comes naturally to me. I recently moved to America from Canada and that's actually what has started my new love for American girls specifically, it's so cool you're from Canada! I'd love to have more doll collector friends! I'm going to go check out the maplelea videos next out of curiosity
Great video. Doll collection runs in my blood as well because both my Aunt's loved doll but my Mom didn't. Most people tend to think that I am mentally ill have some kind of disability that isn't in my eyes because of the dolls.
I believe that just because I suffer a disorder, doesn’t mean someone else does. Everyone likes dolls for different reasons. I like my dolls. Because, I have always loved clothing of different eras.

I really enjoyed listening to your discussion of the reasons why you collect dolls. And I had to laugh at the assumptions people chose to make!

Totally agree with everything you said!
Very interesting video! I am a fellow adult collector. Thanks for uploading!

I look at dolls now as an adult like posable, changeable sculpture.
I believe that just because I suffer a disorder, doesn’t mean someone else does. Everyone likes dolls for different reasons. I like my dolls. Because, I have always loved clothing of different eras.
I like to write stories and then I act them out with my dolls!
I make videos not because I get paid, since I don't, but because I love making and editing my thoughts into videos, or making stories.
I love leonardo pot dolls they r beautiful
I love your doll house ideas! 😊❤️
Great video! 😀
