I feel kinda bad, like I might be using a soulbond. They don’t seem to be active (or I can’t hear them idk) in anything other than when I’m upset, when they come over and cuddle up and tell me they love me. It’s nice, but it feels wrong and I want to be able to talk to them more. On the other hand it feels like they take over my body, at least partially, when I go outside the house, but it doesn’t feel like communicating. How can I reach out and talk and listen better?

First of all, try not to feel bad. ^^ For one thing, communication with bonds isn’t always easy at first. For another thing, soulbonds often…

On anon because no one knows I’m mentally ill. I wanted to thank you so much for the post where you talk about your experience being bipolar.

How would I go about telling someone I have soulbonds? My best friend thinks otherkin are a joke and I’m afraid she’ll feel the same about my soulbonds even tough she’s a writer too and the concept originated from authors.

Have any advice?

Oooh, this is a tough question. Talking about soulbonds with people who don’t have them runs the risk of the person thinking that you are “crazy”…

With all this talk about fictives and tulpas and soulbonding and such, I’m curious as to what exactly a soulbond is. Are they always connected to a body? Or could it be that they exist elsewhere (i.e. the astral realm or another dimension) but have a “link” to a specific person for one reason or another? If they’re, say, someone from one of your fictionkin’s lives but they aren’t always inside you, are they still a soulbond? Thanks.

All soulbonds come from ‘outside’, originally, which is one thing that makes them soulbonds, as opposed to another kind of headmate. I tend to linken being…
