not believing me about being diagnosed just because you disagree with me is childish. also there’s literally no-non DID/OSDD-1 basis for natural multiples to exist unless they’re not actually dissociative, and therefore not a system. imitative DID is where someone with an unstable personality (usually someone with BPD believes their facets are alters because they feel like different people.) takes on the social role of someone with DID and claims to be multiple, despite being a singlet.

no-non DID/OSDD-1 basis for natural multiples  Whoops, you missed the point again, anon! Natural multiples exist, get this, outside of the psychiatric purview.  Natural multiples…

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…

as someone whos fictionkin, i can sort of see why people dislike it when people tag their art as kin… i asked an artist who dislikes it and they way they described it was that they put their heart and soul into their art, and to see someone claim its *their* heart and soul feels like its being claimed as their own. to me it sort of sounded similar to when people who are kin arent comfortable seeing doubles of themselves. and i sympathize with that feeling… as long as its not because (1)

of a reason like ‘fuck otherkin i dont want them on my post’ it doesnt seem rude to me? sure, it sucks because i wanna…

You consider otherkin a spirituality? I haven’t seen people describe it as such, but regardless… Yes, I find all irrational things that are not based on empirical evidence absurd, which absolutely includes religion as well as people who think they’re a feathered dragon. However, for what it’s worth, otherkin isn’t as bad as religion by any stretch of the imagination. They’re just similarly silly.

Most legitimate otherkin and fictonkin consider it a spirituality. It started as a spiritual idea/movement. Everything else has grown/deviated from there. Those kin who do…

“Those of you who think our community is stupid, please look deeper before you pass judgement.” If you believe you are an animal, a dragon or a fictional character… that is absurd. And that’s okay, there’s a lot of people who believe in God with a similar glaring lack of empirical evidence. Just don’t expect people to respect it because, again, it’s utterly absurd.

Well, at least you’re painting all spiritual people with the same brush. Asshole. Just more evidence that the people who find kin absurd are the…

Hello, You don’t know me. but i have come to apologize. I watch Amazingathiest, and i used to be an anti-otherkin. i have said mean things to people, and have gotten death threats in return. a vicious cycle if you will. Tonight i stumbled on a post, on an other-kin page, denouncing otherkin who were being viciously aggressive/defensive and attacking the trolls back. Long story short…well. sorry for being an anonymous dick. Doesn’t seem like most of you “other-kin” are that bad after all. peace

Thank you for your honesty and your apology. I truly believe that if people were to look deeper at the community and engage in open…

i know this is really vague and i’m sorry to ask a question like this but you’re one of the best people i can think to ask; what do you think about people who are fickin with “bad” characters? i feel like i might be kin (or at least -hearted with one) and the potential backlash to that makes me scared to do more than sort of consider it.

I’ve been a ‘badguy’ in just about every life I’ve had. My kinselves are Vriska Serket and the Digimon Emperor. Both of those characters have hurt…

I have trouble remembering things… I’ll get vague memories, or short ones, but not in-depth like yours are. Simple things, like holding someone’s hand or having a simple conversation. I don’t feel comfortable with astral projection and I have trouble relaxing to meditate. I just feel really invalid. Does that sound ridiculous?

I don’t think that sounds ridiculous at all. Most of my memories are small flashes, and sensations. A moment of the feeling of wind on…

Sorry to bother you, but you’re about the best person I have found to ask about soulbonding in general. I’m 98% sure I have soulbonded, and progress in communication is going slowly but pretty okay. But I’m still very worried I’m just making this all up in my head to cope with a harsh reality of never being able to ever physically BE with said soulbond in the Real World. And this keeps bringing up two questions that I haven’t really been able to find a solid answer on. (1/2 – IIR)

(2/2 – IIR) The first question being, how can I tell if it’s really real or I’m just making this up? The sort of answer…

kin memories are this big gray cloud for me because logically they don’t make any sense, but here i am having weird tiny glimpses into the life my character had. i am confused and scared. i do not understand this phenomenon and i would very much like to, seeing as i think it’s happening to me. help please thank you

Kin memories are quite often really confusing, unfortunately. Most of the time they don’t happen in any sensible order, or have much context to them,…

hi I hope you don’t mind me asking and stuff but I am fiction kin but I am kin with a very popular character and I am very scared to come out with it sometimes cause what if people say I don’t even sound, look, or act like my kin even though I feel the same as my kin almost all the time but it makes me feel invalid and I am not sure what to do to help it

Being kin of a beloved character is tough, because it definitely makes you more visible and opens you up to more judgement. Please remember my…

Hey, you seem to be very informed about fictionkin, and know a lot about it. I just wanted to ask something. I am fiction-hearted with this one character (Peridot from Steven Universe) and I’m questioning whether or not I am kin with her. My feelings for this character came out of the blue, but I’ve felt really connected to her, although she’s the least I can relate to personality-wise. I’ve mentally shifted as her twice and dreamed of being her. I feel a weird happiness seeing art of her too.

It sounds like no matter what you have a deep connection with Peridot, like you’ve already described as fiction-hearted. I think from what you’ve said…
