Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like its a good idea to block @male-tear
Thanks for this message anon. 🙂 I’m really happy I could help in my won small way as you move through your journey as kin,…
Could be either one. Only you can tell. Make sure to take time to examine the identity– it can take months or years to really…
Depends on your theory of origin. Could be two souls rolled into one. Could be your mind is similar to both of them. Could be…
I don’t have a reliable method for this. I would potentially say that lack of typical kin experiences, while still feeling like you are that…

Hi there anon. First of all, the boy in question, Zhang Xiaoyi was a 13 year old Chinese native, and the game he was addicted…
People who call themselves kin who believe that they unconsciously ‘created’ their identity would be kin, yes.
Watch out for these assholes today, guys. I’ve already seen some of their bullshit in the otherkin tags.
Well anon, lets see. Personally, I’m, of the opinion that one ‘shift’ and some weird unexplained feelings don’t make something a kintype. For me to call…
Its probably different for everybody. For me, its a kind of mix of nostalgia, sorrow/despair. Its solitude, and sullen, and a little angry. It kind…
Its hard, kidbunny. I don’t have any answers. I don’t even know how to tell for sure if a memory from my childhood, or from…
A lot, anon. Its normal to doubt your identity sometimes. It happens especially when I’m feeling depressed and negative and like nothing matters. But after…
So. The Vriska thing. How did I find out I was Vriska. This… this is a long, painful story. Honestly, as long and painful as…
I see you are eager to hear me talk about myself, anon. (Or just worried your message got eaten, which is totally fair.) I’ve said…
Confusion, mental distress, second-hand embarrassment, not being able to put thoughts about it aside, possessiveness….
I hear you, anon. I’ve run into the same problem before. If I were you, I’d submit your info to more generic canoncall blogs, or…
Anon, we all go through periods of disbelief, and they can be crushing. I know how you feel, because I’ve been in that position before,…
First of all, don’t let anyone get you down or too embarrassed about being Naruto. Honestly he’s a very inspiring and admirable character and I…
I have been there, anon, trust me. Its hard, but what you need to do is focus on something that has nothing to do with…
It all comes down to belief and what you’re willing to call yourself. Its just about what makes you comfortable. Nobody knows for sure what…
There’s always a risk of upsetting yourself when you deliberately go to trigger memories. But the least harmful way is probably through meditation, or meditative…
I believe that I was a mazoku/demon from the anime Slayers. There was a mix of reasons I believed this; contributing factors being a childhood…
I’d say the most concise way would be be “Spiritual kin believe that being kin involves some supernatural or spiritual element. Psychological kin don’t.”
Reincarnated “Kinfeels” Playlist Inspired by a post I saw the other day about ‘Call Me Maybe’ being a kin song, I decided to make a list of…
Thanks for the input anon! I’m still planning a more full post on this phenomenon. ^^
Anon, I wouldn’t worry too much. A significant number of people experience memories, especially early memories, from a third person perspective. I’m one of these…
Welcome! So glad you found the kin community ^^ I hope you’ll find the kind of community and answers you’re looking for here. There’s a…
I’ve never felt anything like that, anon. I thought I only had the one kintype for nine years, and then another one smacked me over…
Its never good to pretend you’re not kin when you are, anon, and I think you know that. Trying to shut out feelings like that…
Sounds like a kintype that you turned into a character accidentally 🙂
A kintype is a label put on a set of otherwise strange and unexplained experiences, feelings, and behaviors, to make them make sense and give…
That’s totally okay! Not everyone is otherkin/fictionkin and that’s totally fine! Being kin isn’t better than being non-kin, and in fact, being kin can come…
Why telling people to change/repress/drop kintypes is psychologically harmful and abusive you are putting the theoretical momentary ‘offense’ of a group of people over the…
Huh, that’s an interesting situation, anon! Have you seen 2001: A Space Odyssey? watching it might help you figure some stuff out.
I’m gonna go ahead and leave this here for my followers to address. Sincerely, a transman/fictionkin who experiences dysphoria
Fascinating! I’m interested that I’ve never head of that one before, because it actually is a really useful word!
