hello! i’ve checked your faq but i’m so new and v. confused, so i thought i’d just ask. i understand what the term headmate is used for in regards to this community, but i am confused if its supposed to be completely different from what a person with dissociative identity disorder means when talking about their headmates, or if they mean the same and meant for people w DID but alters that are similar to fic characters? sometimes some say anyone can develop headmates but thats not how DID works?

First of all, just to clear things up, headmates have nothing to do with fictionkin or otherkin. Headmate as a term came about to describe…

I am in a predicament and need an opinion. so i’m a soulbonder and recently tried tulpamancing and I made a tulpa. Fast-foreward some and I’m trying to call out to a soulbond of mine. The soulbond and tulpa are both there and then they? fuse? or something. I’m not sure. anyways, so they become one person and the tulpa/soulbond is in a situation where they act in a way that feels like simultaneous reincarnation, being both living the life of the soulbond in their world and being in my 1/2

2/2 headspace at the same time. It’s really weird and I want to make sure this isn’t something that just happens or that has a…

Thank you for your reply, I understand and it’s a good point but I think that while classifications are good to make things clear dividing a small community with close experiences in two against the wishes of some of them is not ideal. I also think the otherkin community wants only people who believe it’s an spiritual thing lately, I mean between coping kin and people who believe being kin is psychological or anything not spiritual there isn’t such a big diference and both tend to be excluded.

I think its important to share space- but I also think its important to have dedicated spaces to both. We have similar experiences, and a…

just because a source stretches back more than a decade doesn’t mean it’s true. you could say exactly the same thing about vaccines causing autism. again, you’re completely ignoring what i’m saying here. multiplicity and being a system are symptoms of DID and OSDD-1 exclusively. why are you taking terms from a disorder and using them to describe something completely different.

And you are not listening to me. I am a part of a multiple system. We do not have DID or trauma. Why are you…

how on earth is a livejournal supposed to be an official source? you have no evidence to back up your claims. all of the links on the site have been discredited multiple times. people claiming to be multiple without having the additional symptoms of an unintegrated personality clearly have no understanding of what a system is. a system is a medical term for all dissociated parts of a person with DID or OSDD-1.

The point is over here <- and you are all the waaaaay over there —–> In other words, you have missed the point. how on…

multiplicity only happens when a person has undergone trauma, and is not the natural state of the mind. that is, by definition, a disorder. if nothing happened to make a personality not integrate, it integrates. you literally cannot be a multiple if you have an integrated personality because the term implies that your personality isn’t integrated.

The trauma based model pushed by the psychological institution is not the only cause of multiplicity. Non-trauma systems exist, and have existed for years, and…

What’s going on if there’s a different personality in my mind that I can talk to and that shares my memories, and he identifies with the name/pronouns of a fictional character, but the two of us are also kin for different fictional characters simultaneously? Do I have DID and am fictionkin, or am I just fictionkin for all three characters and I like talking to myself? I feel like a liar, even though I’m probably not…

This is definitely a question I can answer! Lets break this down! there’s a different personality in my mind that I can talk to and…

I’m pretty sure I’m fictionkin, but I tend to cycle through characters. Most of the time, everyone is background noise, living in my wacky cross-canon mind hotel, with one very dominant character who I start to emulate (usually without meaning to). I get teasing comments about how the character and I are clones. And then a year later, it’s a different character. It’s confusing! It’s ruined friendships because I “change” personality so often. Any advice?

fromfiction: Look into soulbonding, median plurality, and healthy multiplicity. There are people out there who have had the same experiences you have, and learn how…
