Ooof, good luck, anon. ^^ You have my good wishes– its definitely a hard thing to question. I hope you’re able to get a handle…
I figured someone would ask me this ^^;; Its pretty long, so I’ll put this behind a read more. Feel free to reblog it if…
Generally speaking, your kintype finds you, and then you recognize that what you’re feeling is being kin. However, if you’re doing it the other way…
This is the most respectful video explanation of kin and fictionkin that I’ve seen yet. I hope everybody takes a minute to watch this, and…
-hearted people, in my experience, feel one or more of a few things deep longing to be X deep admiration of and empathy for X…
I’m pretty sure that having a non-human hearttype counts as being non-human. I’d count it at least, though I don;t know how others feel. -Hearted…
Alterhuman includes humans from other worlds and states of existence. Here’s how I define alterhuman. Alterhuman: A member of the nonhuman/otherworldly community. Anyone who identifies…
So, the reaction surrounding recent posts about polykin and multiple kintypes has convinced me that I need to talk about something that I’ve been keeping…
Here’s the simplest way I have to explain it fully to someone who’s never heard of it. @iggysfool An otherkin or fictionkin is someone who…
This is a tough one, anon. On the one hand, not every fear we have will be explained by things in our past lives and…
Those are both good ideas! Looking at art, or making it yourself. Writing ‘fanfiction’ or reflections on your source material, or reading about it. Listening to…
That’s hard, anon. Sometimes that fear never really goes away. But we can do things to minimize it. I recommend you read about, and talk…
(2/?) And I don’t miss any memories from the past days or experience any changes in my personality. But I feel a lot more like…
Some people do ‘hoard’ kintypes. Not every kin you meet is going to be perfectly legitimate and well meaning. Which doesn’t mean that you should question…
LOL!!! Did you even read my answer, friend? I want to go ahead and say that it CAN be perfectly legitimate for someone to have…
2: everyone who subscribes to the multiverse theory refers to their identity as a past life. Past tense. I WAS, or I USED to. But…
(Part 2) idk how to say this nicely.. I understand having multiple kintypes but he has 20+ and I feel like they kind of… Lose…
Hey there. Its always okay to ask a question, and honestly, most of the questions I’m asked have been asked before (like this one). The…
You should never rely on someone eles’s memories to match up with yours- especially not a double who almost certainly experienced things differently. Its cool…
Dysphoria has been confirmed to be the correct term multiple times. Dysphoria is not something only experienced by trans people. Please note that I am…
Well, lets see what I can help you with here. Thankfully I happen to be a Sailor Moon expert 😉 First of all, lets dispel…
Its certainly possible. (Anything’s possible, really?) I’m not sure I’d call it being kin exactly because being kin tends to imply strong feelings, but its…
For synpath, I believe ‘Rey is my synpath’ is correct usage. Having a synpath and being fictionhearted ARE different, so you wouldn’t call the person you’re…
For those of you who have been having problems with spambots in the kin tags (or any other popular tags) I finally found a stopgap…
It could be that you won’t– and possibly that’s for the best. If your mind is protecting you from something its for a reason. However,…
Ouch, anon, I’m saddened to hear that. :/ Honestly, the thing about bad memories is they tend to be the ones that come whether you…
Hmmm, could be a lot of things. It could be a kintype that’s not very strong, so you think you’ve ‘disproved’ it. You could be fictionhearted.…
Absolutely. Not all memories come in dreams and not all are extremely vivid or concrete. Sometimes you just *know* something. Its weird.
I know how you feel, anon. Its comforting to me for the same reason ^^
I would not say that being kin has affected my personality at all, but perhaps it has made it easier for me to recognize certain…
As a transperson, no. Being otherkin has nothing to do with pronouns.
Unfortunately, sorting out what are really memories and what aren’t can be really confusing, especially when you’re starting out. Its a process that takes time,…
Its absolutely possible to not recognize memories for what they are. And its especially easy to mix memories into fictional ideas when you’re writing/
nonhumanity-and-nonsense: Kintypes are not consciously and actively chosen and cannot be dropped, avoided, or given up with any real success. However, copinglinks are identities with…
If its strange, then I’m strange too, anon. Many years ago when I was first exploring myself as Ken, I wrote a series of brief…
Neonkin anon again, sorry! But I wanted to add that I do have shifts to this kintype, where I feel extremely high energy and feel…
Those do sound like they could point to having a kintype, or to some other mental or spiritual phenomenon. If you have dreams of taking…
Its certainly enough to continue questioning if you are this kintype if not enough to outright confirm it. Honestly, if you have memories (however vague)…
I’d love to help you out. 🙂 What are you experiencing that makes you question if you’re kin? Identifying experiences like memories, phantom limbs, strange…
