Since discovering I’m kin with these two characters, I’ve been using that cope with my mental illnesses but it’s making me doubt whether it’s real or not. It feels very real, but I don’t want to be a fake because I know copingkin is different. Do other mentally ill kin do this? Use their kin to cope after finding out they’re kin? Thanks.

Mentally ill and traumatized kin often use their knowledge of their kintypes to help them cope with their illness and stress, anon. Doing so does…

I’ve noticed there’s a breed of self-proclaimed kin who don’t fit any of the standard definitions. They’re not fake, or trolls, but they’re not spiritual/psychological kin, nor are they synpath or copinglink. They take on “kin” identities for the sake of aesthetic, IE that girl who claimed to be “cupcakekin” (she wasn’t a troll). Can we come up with a new name for these individuals?

I think that falls best under the heading of “non-kin IDs”.
