what do you do if your fiction kin type is a sexist man? im not a sexist man but i still feel like i am literally him and i dont want to be offensive

Then when people ask, tell them that you are no longer sexist. Just as you can learn and grow and improve your ideals from year…

For about a year, I’ve been trying to figure out whether I am fictionkin of a character, or just too attached. I have a hard time believing in fictionkin, so that’s part of why I haven’t wanted to explore it more. Lately though, when I’ve seen pictures of places that remind me of Home, I’ve felt a longing so intense that it’s almost painful, and I don’t think I can deny it anymore. How do I come to terms with this?

Its hard. Its hard to believe that you’re fictionkin, and to come to terms with that. Its so much easier to just believe that you’re…

hello! im trying to figure out if im fictionkin or not, because im all new to this. is there any real way to find out if youre fictionkin? im sorry if i worded this wrong,,

The only way to know if you are fictionkin or not is to know yourself. There is sadly no blood test, no list of traits…

i think i might be fickin but ive never been kin before. i have a close friend who thinks fickin is completely ridiculous but shes helped me with a LOT and i dont want to lose her. i dont think she’ll necessarily drop me at the moment but sort of float away, you know? i dont wanna keep it in the dark, i wanna be able to express it…. what should i do? advice? D:

My advice to fictionkin, and otherkin in general is not to go around telling people about your identity ESPECIALLY before you are sure of yourself.…

Hey, I was just gonna ask this to see if anyone else has felt the same way. But do a lot of fictionkin types come from the fact that the character is rooted deeply into your childhood so they have become a very important part of your life?

How do I know if I’m fictionkin? Is it okay if I’m fictionkin and believe X? I identify with X but I know its wrong!…

I have a problem with my brain manufacturing memories, and latching onto things and making me think they’re a part of my past when they really aren’t. Is there any way I can get past this to try and figure out my true identity?

I don’t know if this is a question I am really qualified to answer. If your brain really does manufacturer memories then I don’t know…

im very distressed and confused and very scared. i think i might be fictionkin, but im not sure what i should do. im not sure if my feelings are valid. and my friend that i talk to all the time about everything is against fiction kin. im terrified because im scared they’ll leave if i tell them about this. im not even sure if i am fiction kin, my family hates it so i havent been able to open up to anyone. i would be more descriptive but i cant. is this normal?

Its normal. Kids, don’t tell your parents about being fictionkin, unless you’re really sure they’ll think its something neat. Most parents will either be dismissive…

Do you have any advice on dealing with the depression (and sometimes dysfunction) that can accompany no longer being in your former body? Being unable to cope with being out of place in one’s current life is one of those stereotypical things otherkin/fictionkin get brutally mocked for, and I feel like shit for even having this problem. I have no idea what to do. I’m pretty sure if I asked a therapist about this, they’d just laugh in my face or tell me I’m insane for my beliefs.

Its hard. Its really hard. I have self image problems rooted in my kin nature as well, which for me comes out as a sort…

do you have advice on finding out one’s specific fictionkintypes? i’ve known that i’m someone from OFF (game) for a while now but i just can’t tell who.

Definitely meditation and self reflection. There comes a limit to what outside material can tell you about yourself. Its possible you aren’t even one of…

I feel like I differ very heavily in personality from one of my kintypes, but at the same time I don’t feel like that’s bad? like, my kintype is a road I’ve been down that led to Very Bad Things and I know how to work around that now? is that normal?

Absolutely. You’re on the right track here. Of course the people we are now differ from the personalities we’ve had before, because our experiences and…
