Are you Otherkin?
Otherkinity is not simply liking something very much, or even identifying with something. Otherkinity is believing, without choice, that you are something non-human on a non-physical level.
If you, in any way, choose your kintype, you are not otherkin.
But how do you tell if you are otherkin? It is not so easy, and there is no set method. Many people take dreams as a sign that they are ‘kin but dreams are not to be trusted, as the brain can incorporate anything you have seen into a dream. Astral/subsidiary limbs can also be indicators, but they may also be Cameo Shifts (something I will talk about in later posts).
If you believe that you may be ‘kin, take some time. Think about it. Meditate. Do a lot of introspecting. It might take you months, it might take you years, and it is by no means fast or easy. But it is worth it. Maybe you weren’t otherkin at all. Maybe your kintype is different from what you originally thought. It’s all fine.
[[ I should take this opportunity to mention that, otherkin cannot “drop” their kintypes. If you find it easy to do so, perhaps you were never otherkin at all ]]
