TW REALITY CHECKING MENTION !!!
what IS fictionkinning?
FICTIONKINNING is more or less connected to a character or the character reminds you of..yourself. FICTIONKINNING is not similar to kinning, but also is at the same time, ya know? both are very synonymous to one another, but it isn't necessarily the same. as said before by somebody, FICTIONKINNING also is " often believe that they are or were a fictional character " or also the species of said character. it could also be seen as a coping mechanism for Neurodivergent people.
tl;dr, fictionkinning is connected to a character/belief that you are a fictional character in a past life.
how do i know if i'm a fictionkin?
well, to put it simply, just look into fictionkinning! or take what i said earlier and see if you fit the description of it. then again, FICTIONKINNING has multiple meanings, but what i said earlier is the actual or accurate definition of it.
are fictionkins/kins "irls"? do i call myself an "irl" if so?
as someone who is psychotic, no. ' irl ' is a term 'coined' by kins, but is also used by psychotic people. so please don't do so because it could seem as offensive or people will come at you for it. if you do fictionkin/kin and call yourself an irl, however, respectfully stop calling yourself an ' irl ' . other replacements could be just " i am me " or " i am a - kin ".
tl;dr, you can't.
can i/you reality-check fictionkins? is it possible to do so?
not at all. fictionkinning is not a delusional thing nor has anything to do with delusions. you can only reality-check people with delusions because..thats literally what it sounds like. just so you know, reality checking is "an occasion on which one is reminded of the state of things in the real world." you cannot reality check fictionkinners, but you can offend them by saying they arent " who they are ", basically.
tl;dr, it isnt possible to reality check fictionkins.
if i am a fictionkin/kin, can i call other irls/fictives "doubles"?
no you cannot. there's no.. actual explanation for this one, but the best i can explain is that fictives are something apart of a disorder, and fictionkinning or kinning is not. a irl is a '' delusional '' thing while fictionkinning / kinning isn't. fictionkinning / kinning is simply connected 2 a character as being a 'irl' or fictive is BEING the character. i hope this was easy to understand !
