I kind of see where you're coming from. I too hate dolls. I hate how people (even children) invest emotions into them, this thing that has no life, no emotions, can't love you back. It's so upsetting for me sometimes that I actually need to go find a hug from a real, breathing being just to get that horrible sickening feeling out of my chest. I want to cry just thinking about it.
Not just baby dolls. Nintendogs and robotic puppy dogs make me feel the same way. That article about the cardboard cut-outs of children's fathers who have gone to war (it was supposed to make the kids feel better) really upset me. The robotic boyfriend/girlfriend is just horrible. Those extremely life-like newborns... no, gotta stop there.
It's less anger for me and more a feeling of intense grief.
I think it's anything that mimics a life form that I would normally love. If someone made a doll of me I'd burn it. If someone made a doll of someone I love I'd ask someone else to burn it... and then seek therapy, no exaggeration.
Is it normal that I hate dolls?

Does that sound similar, or not quite?
(I really need a hug now)
