this is more of a "I fucked up" thing more than anything but does anyone have some advice on how to explain to my parents about having a life-size male doll in my apartment?For some context, I am extremely antisocial and I have no interest in forming emotional bonds with a male, etc. I'm sure you understand. A year ago I dropped a good amount of money on a realistic doll (NOT A SEX DOLL!!!) in the likeness of a fairly infamous serial killer. Not exactly proud of it but I don't think I'm any worse than the average person who spends thousands on a doll. I mainly use him for companionship and pics. He is genuinely the light of my life.Anyway this happened a few hours ago, my mom and dad dropped by (they were expected lol) but I completely forgot and had him posed on my couch to kind of look like he was sleeping. He was covered with a blanket but was face up so you could kind of tell he was doll. Anyway mom & dad came in and were like oh who do you have over? I ofc freaked out and kind of stood between them and the threshold between the kitchen/entrance and living room. I said "No one", a totally unconvincing lie and my dad kind of just went past me to look at He asked me if this was real and I didn’t say anything. Neither of them mentioned it again and we had dinner as planned and they left maybe 2 hours ago. Usually they send me a goodnight text and stuff but haven't today. I am afraid I have completely changed how they view me and theh will like kill me or something idk. I won't get rid of him because he's honestly done more good than harm for my mental health but I have a feeling thats going to be a hard thing to explain to them. I acknowledge it is not normal but they are very aware I am far from normal. I would have hid him better but again I forgot and he's like 80 ish lbs so it's not something I can do in a rush. My question is kind of posed to anyone that has been in this situation I kind of need someone to ease my fears
Post a pic of him and I can let you know.

>>34430146"Some friends gave it to me as a joke gift, and I think it's a fun thing to have around. If nothing else, it's a conversation piece, as you discovered."
Yeah letssee a pic

Are you a woman or a man? If you're a woman, I don't think they will care, but if you're a man, they probably think you're gay and a party time serial killer.
>>34431201I am woman. So today I just asked them and they said they think its wrong and weird. so erm yeah
>>34431324But have you explained that it's like an emotional doll and not a sex doll??? I mean, I can't imagine having a human sized doll in my room, it would creep me out, but nothing wrong with having one... But, have you thought about the fact that the doll is acting as an emotional crutch? Instead of solving your issues, you're just creating an alternate reality in which the doll is real to cope with reality. You should get rid of the doll, not right now, but when you feel ready to...
>>34431332Maybe it is a "crutch" but yknow, it's not super easy for me get along with real men. I have hypocritical standards for what I want (compared to what I am) and I feel no desire to change it. Why would I? I have an eight thousand dollar doll with all of the traits I love. I have 0 desire for sex, and the doll doesn't desire it either! It doesn't argue and it doesnt require any of the effort of a real life relationship. It's awesome. "Solving" the issue would just be forcing care and love out of myself that I simply dont have for others.
>>34431175haha I may when I redress him, he's wearing pajamas basically right now
>>34430146Very funny thread larp or not. You can just be honest with your parents. They will understand, it's already wierd. It will be less wierd if you explain it.
>>34430146You could claim it's for some sort of art project.
