I feel fake because I don’t remember anything but I feel so much that I am my kintype, I get so anxious every day and I hate it.

Don’t let yourself get caught up in the trap that memories are the only thing that make someone fictionkin. There are a wide variety of experiences that we have that convince us of who we are. 

A sense that ‘that’s you’, feelings of homesickness, species/image dysphoria, supernumary phantom limbs, feeling old wounds and scars, unexplained fears and urges, feeling like you’re missing abilities, grief and lonliness for people you never met– all these are other things that kin may experience, along with memories. We don’t all feel them all, but as long as you experience some of them, you have a basis to call yourself kin, and no one can take that away.
