Hi, I’m pretty new to this kin stuff, and so I’m a bit confused over how I’m feeling. When I look at this particular character or think about them, I definitely get a sense of “oh that’s me” and I have a vague idea of who the character was outside of canon context. But when I evaluate their characteristics and mine, we seem to be two completely different people. How can I possible identify as a character when I am nothing like them? Am I something other than kin?

Anon, its totally possible to be kin of someone that seems nothing like you are now. Especially if you believe in kin by reincarnation, people…

I just realised that nothing really happened to me and I was hit with depression, and when I was having “making-myself-cry-by-talking-weird-things-that-made-no-sense” fits I often repeated that I wanted to go home really badly even when I WAS home?? I dunno. And if somehow I AM fictionkin, could it be that in my past life something really bad happened? It’s all overhelming…

Ouch, anon. You have my deepest sympathy. That was a feeling I often experienced when I was younger. Wanting to go home, even when I…

hi! first, i really like your blog! but i’d also like your opinion on something. i have one kin i feel really strongly about and have vague memories of my classmates and friendships. i’m questioning another kin where i feel a lot more strongly as far as the identity (that’s me!) but i don’t have any kind of emotional memories outside of that. (yet?) is that still kin? is there such a thing as “secondary kin” where it’s a lesser connection? i’m a bit overwhelmed by all this, honestly.

Some people are more or less connected to thier kinlives, and feel them more or less deeply. It’s possible that the kintype you’ve stumbled on…

awhile back I was questioning a fictotype because I felt such a strong connection to them but it didn’t line up quite right. I stopped thinking about it for a while because I wasn’t getting anywhere with it. Then I saw that post about soulbonding and they kinda waved their hands in front of my face like “HEY! You’re silly!” So yeah, thanks for helping me learn I’m a soulbonder

There are definitely a lot of people out there who experience soulbonding, or are on the cusp of it, but don’t quite know what it…

I’m scared, I have a head mate that is fictional and that’s never happened to me, usually the voices in my head are just different variations of my own voice, I don’t want to scare him off but it also concerns me a bit since this is all new to me. He stopped my other voices from fighting randomly and it caught me off guard, but I’m grateful for what he did. Any advice for making new head mates feel welcome?

Hey there! First of all, no need to be scared/freaked out. It sounds like this headmate is here for your benefit, and you’re not in…
