I not sure about whether or not I’m otherkin anymore. I truly feel I’m not human and I don’t belong here, but I can’t help but question my faith in this. Like what I experience isn’t enough and my beliefs are just made up and I’m delusional, maybe it makes more sense if I’m delusional. I don’t know whether I’m right or wrong and it’s just frustrating. Maybe it would’ve been better if I never discovered otherkin at all, and my feelings of being out of place never had an explanation.

These feelings are really understandable. Sometimes its better not to focus on labels, and focus more on how you feel. Whether your experiences are ‘real’ or…

Is it still kin if it’s a more slow process? I didn’t realize I was kin of a character until it got more screen time. At first it was just generalized feeling of being them and shifts. Then later into the episodes it got stronger. Nostalgia, feelings of worry. Then only recently I started experiencing homesickness.

Its totally possible for it to happen much slower. In fact this is often the case. Sometimes everything comes all at once, but not at…

Barrier anon again. I’m assuming what you mean by “something in my canon creating a barrier” is if something really bad happened that would cause such a thing. I guess that could relate to an experience of mine. After watching a painful episode my kin feelings kinda “shut off” for a week or two. (they came back afterwards) I kinda shut off in general. Since then I hadn’t had any clear memories, but I tried to figure it out and pick things apart, but that has not been helpful in many ways.

Yeah, that sounds like the sort of thing that could shut off memories for a while. I think you’re probably mentally protecting yourself, and you’ll…

It feels like there’s a barrier in my mind separating this life from my kin memories. While I remembered a few, it’s so darn hard to reach out to deeper memories. I have found myself feeling bad because i don’t have a lot to hold on to of my old friends, kind of like I’m losing them. Meditation isn’t really helpful either. What should I do?

Depending on what you believe, there may be an *actual* barrier between you and these deeper memories, put there for any number of reasons. Is…

wrt mistaking soulbonds for kintypes: I mistook a soulbond for a kintype for a solid month before I finally realized what was actually going on. It was especially confusing because I had cameo shifts of them and their memories were bleeding into mine as I awakened. It wasn’t until I read a post about soulbonding that really described my experience that I understood. I’d suggest you keep doing research on anything you think it might be and don’t cross anything off too soon.

Great advice, anon ^^

So I’m almost certain I’m kin of a certain character from Undertale (not saying who because spoilers). I have shared memories with someone else who was from my timeline as well as astral limbs, but I keep doubting myself because I came to the realization only a few months after I finished the game, and I didn’t meditate or anything like that. Would you say this is still fictionkin, or is it something else?

Sometimes realizations come slowly. And you certainly don’t HAVE to mediate to know you are kin- that’s just something I advise when someone is trying…

I don’t know if this is the proper blog to ask this, since you have the soulbond blog and this one…I was wondering, do you think its possible for your soulbond to have such an impact on your personality that you mistake it for being kin with it? I feel as though for a while I was a specific character and this one only, but after a while I really got confused and wondered if it was possible that all this time it was actually a soulbonds thoughts making me think that way? What do you think?

do you think its possible for your soulbond to have such an impact on your personality that you mistake it for being kin with it?…

traumagenic system here: if you have a system, you can use the word system. It doesn’t mtter if you have DID or not. I think a lot of this “debate” stems from DID systems saying that endogenic systems are fake, tbh. While endogenic systems don’t have the same situation as DID systems, they are not fake and they are not appropriating DID just by being and using the word system

Thank you for chiming in. I think you’re absolutely right that the dispute started there. I am saddened that there is such a situation going…

Idk if this has been asked before but ive noticed a lot of “ID pages” on blogs where people are saying “this character is not my kintype they are literally me” do you know what that mean or anything because it always confuses me, especially when they list a bunch of kintypes or copinglinks below the initial “literally me” characters

Every person is an individual and has their own reasons for doing that. I can’t tell you the reason everyone has. That said, I think…

Hello. I just want to say that, as someone who is a DID sufferer and studying psychology currently in university, alters actually can and often do continue to be formed beyond childhood if the trauma was never dealt with and/or if the emotional instability from the event/events never faded, along with other reasons. However, in order to be diagnosed DID, your first alter at least did have to form during childhood. I cannot speak for OSDD-1/DDNOS, as I haven’t researched those as deeply, but.

Interesting. My information on alters having to be formed from childhood comes from @this-is-not-dissociative and other such blogs. I am unable to retrieve the exact…
