Did Anyone Else Poke Out Dolls Eyes?

Post Reply New Topic

It struck me today that it was perhaps a bit odd that as a kid, all of my dolls had their eyes gouged out. It used to really upset my mother who wanted me to have dolls like a 'normal' kid but I only ever seemed to mutilate them.

Is this an autistic thing or was I just a sadistic freak?

Haha nope, i did that as well, thought it was weird too haha, now if i get too overstimulated i poke my boyfriends eyes, yes nasty habit, luckily he knows to dodge me if i become that over stimulated lol!

I gnawed the hands off all of my Star Wars action figures as a child (<6 years).

I was thinking it could be to do with eye contact. I heard of people turning photographs of people away or pulling the head off their dolls.

I tried to poke out my sister's eyes

Er. No.

"I told you not to go out tonight didn't I? Every time you go out this kind of thing happens."

I could never do that. ;^^ Nothing freaks me out more than eyes going weird!

I've never done that.

I didn't do it - too scared of the dolls getting their revenge on me!

I didn't want to see their eyes or them 'looking' at me, so I turned them upside down. My grandma then got them out of whatever place I put them in and sat them into the living-room. It took me a few times to figure out it was her doing at age 4 and it seriously scared into running away when I entered the living-room where the dolls mysteriously sat after my grandma had placed them there during the night before.

I only feel uneasy about eye contact from human beings aged about 5 years old on up. Photos, babies, toddlers, animals, and dolls do not judge and I can look at their faces without fear of "doing it wrong."

No but I hated dolls and didn;t play with them. I had one proper doll and cut her hair to the scalp and drew 'real' genitals on her. It offended me that she was not anotomically correct.

No, I didn't poke out dolls eyes.

All though, I did cut their legs off with sizzors.

Nope

never gouged the eyes out, but as soon as i got a "doll" i used to take all the clothes off! explain that if you can! i can not remember any rationale behind it which is unusual for me as i usually remember why i did things. i also used to suck or chew on their foot, but i think that is just because i used to put anything & everything in my mouth! however to me dolls only had one purpose, to ride the model horses i used to collect & play with in an all to aspie style! everything wazs carefully planned & scripted & only one other person was allowed to play occasionally as i knew she would follow my "script" and not disagree!

I never poked dolls' eyes out, but my favorite game with my stuffed animals when I was little (pre-school aged) was 'surgery'. Basically I would cut their body parts open, stick random stuff in them, and have Mom sew them back up, completely oblivious to what had actually happened to them.

I didn't poke dolls' eyes out. But the eyes of my favorite doll fell out by themselves for some reason.
On the other hand I cut some of my own hair off and put on her with glue (it was originally a little babydoll without hair, but when she "grew older", of course she had to get hair instead of remaining "baby bald").
