Hi! So, I’ve been reading up on fictionkin vs fiction-hearted, and I was wondering if I could get your input on something? Based on what I’ve read, my feelings fall somewhere in between the two terms. I have no memories and no dysphoria (related to the character) and the majority of my feelings can be summed up by a strong, fundamental connection to the character, but even as a child before i was introduced to him I showed some of his traits that aren’t exactly common. Thoughts, if you want?
I suppose my thoughts are that from what you’ve said, it does sound more like fiction-hearted. Lack of memories doesn’t always mean you’re not kin, but I think the lack of dysphoria, or strong uncomfortable feelings surrounding that side of yourself likely points more toward fiction-hearted.
That said, its always good to keep exploring your identity You may discover sometime in the future that you do associate with them more as fictionkin. Only you can ever be the one to truly judge.
