I think I might be Fictionkin. I never really truly understood what fictionkin was until people began to ask me if I was fictionkin with the character I now believe I am, and I researched it. It makes me kinda uneasy, because I’ve talked about fictionkin with friends and I know they dont think its a thing so I’m getting nervous about it. Part of me hopes I’m just going through a lil bit of a phase but I think I’ve always identified with the character,,, I dunno… I’m confused.

Discovering that you’re fictionkin can be a scary and confusing thing, especially when your local friends don’t understand or believe you. My advice for now is to keep quite about it in your ‘real’ life, and to try to make connections online. Find people who support and understand you, whether they are from your ‘canon’ or not. 

I have always found that chatting with people who experience the same kinds of phenomena I do makes me feel better- less alone. Find someone with whom you can discuss your unease, your memories, your feelings, etc, and don’t be discouraged.
