Is it ok to ID as certain characters who I closely relate to at times as a coping method? To pretend that I am them and not me so I don’t have a panic attack abt something happening to myself? Like I do that, would I be fictionkin or is it smth else?
That is NOT fictionkin. Fictionkin is not pretend, it is a sincere belief- one that comes from inside, not one deliberately cultivated.
By all means, I advocate coping with difficulty however you can, but this is not the same as being fictionkin.
