How can you tell between a cameo shift and a kintype that kinda just fades in and out?

I don’t experience cameo shifts, so I can’t tell you from personal experience.

Maybe someone who has cameo shifts can chime in here?

Cameo shifts are usually rarer and much more infrequent. You may also get a stronger sense of “this isn’t rrreeeeaally me but it is for right now?”

Like, I get cameo shifts to my heart-types or w/e you’d like to call them. But they’re really infrequent and the feeling of “I am X” doesn’t stick around past the shift.

That’s another thing, actually, the length of time the identity sticks around without shifting. I’m still very much my therio/fictotypes and I hardly ever shift. I used to consider myself a suntherian (not that I really expect that terminology to be recognized over here ^^;;) since my shifts are so infrequent, but I still definitely think about these things and go “yes this is me.”

Hope that was helpful.
