I didnt fall down the alt-right pipeline, but it instilled in me the idea that I didnt have a mental illness, I was just looking for an excuse for my own flaws. I probably have ADD or something and i buried it for like 6 years until 3 days ago, and now i have to figure this shit out.
Also, yes, this page is my personal diary, what of it?
I think you just connected something for me… I browsed /r/TiA way, way early on, when it was mostly about otherkin and in that brief window before it really went to shit. I found my diary from high school and inside I have this huge crisis about whether I’m “really depressed or just lazy.” It was strange to read because I don’t remember how I got so many of those ideas or that it took me so long to realize I very obviously was mentally ill. Now I’m thinking I must have absorbed it from the anti-SJW culture.
While that might have been true from the start, and it certainly became more true over time; is worth noting that otherkin is a real phenomena, and making fun of that was terrible in itself.
Humans do have an innate proprioceptive body map, but I don’t know to what extent that explains otherkin; since in most cases an otherkin is an alter within a dissociative system.
