im a kin whos okay with doubles but im kinda new and im curious as to why some kin arent okay with doubles?
Some kin experience anxiety around doubles, and feelings of being fake, even if they know there can legitimately be more than one of a kintype. Often this is due to anxiety, self-esteem issues, or mental illness. It sucks when you’re doubles with someone who doesn’t want you following them, but its best to respect their wishes.
Theres also just the factor of having a strong identity and seeing someone else have that specific identity makes them uncomfortable, not always a feeling of not being valid but just not being used
to having that experience especially when you havent seen other versions of yourself in your canon.also some situations people have OCD and believe that they may die if they meet a double or a “doppleganger”, or that it might cause a rip in time or similar things.
BPD can be a really big factor too, because their kin identity can come around and they end up focusing on that so much because their identity was nothing before discovering their past life, and sometimes it can just make them dissociate or feel awful because someone else is kin with something that theyre so close to
i know i would feel weird if someone had my name, my clothes, my personality etc., theres a lot of feelings that come into not wanting doubles, but i guess feeling “fake” is a popular one.
I know that while I’m okay with talking to some rick kin i know in certain circumstances, but anyone whos kin with most of my main kins immediately makes me dissociate and get sick.
those are more specific reasons, but if anyone wants to go into more detail or put their own feelings in feel free.
Some more specific reasons for anon and others curious about doubles avoidance.
