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.
They made fun of otherkin just to butter you up to mock trans people
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.
Oh agreed, I just hated that they made fun of all that shit. Like I didn't care and still don't care what someone has as an identity. I'll respect whatever. It doesn't impact my life at all.
