We gave each other looks.

It has been discussed heavily in a group chat since leaving the party. Well, there is one guy there in our department who is kind of aloof and didn't think it was weird. He says it's not creepy unless she takes it out in public. He views it as a hobby. He said people find his hobby weird if they aren't "into" it. He does some kind of painting on little figurines that are part of a game. It's even more nerdy sounding than my diamond painting but I don't remember what he called it.

We have agreed to keep it to ourselves in our department, so let's hope that sticks. I think it will because so far none who weren't at the party have mentioned it.

I don't want to shame her if it is trauma based. I have done more researching these lifelike dolls today than I've done work, tbh. It's a crazy community and I'm fascinated yet creeped out.  [/quote]

There is a lot to unpack here.  I am not going to address the psychology of the woman with the doll for a baby at all.

Regarding what has occurred and what you now know, I think you need to be very, very careful.  I would back out of the group chat and I would not discuss this with any of your coworkers any more. If it comes up, be completely circumspect but leave the area and refuse to discuss.  This entire situation has the potential to get out of control quickly.  If necessary, I would call your employer's EAP program for advice about how to interact with your colleague with the doll for a baby, and how to respond to your other colleagues who want to discuss the situation.[/quote]
