!! Extra Information :
I do not have psychosis nor delusions.
I used to think I did, but now I believe I was misinformed about what delusions really are
More info below
⚠️reality checking ahead⚠️
(I’m no professional, but based off my experience with the community and my own personal experiences, this is what I believe)
-
Terms can be super tricky, and recently it’s come to my attention that the term “delusional attachment” or calling IRLs delusions is likely inaccurate and harmful.
Now, technically someone can have a genuine delusional attachment, but I don’t think the usual description of irls or “d/as” match the criteria
I’m not entirely sure what IRLs are, but there may be multiple different causes for them, and I think It’s important to be mindful that.
Not only this, but I’ve heard stories from people who have been in the kin community for a very long time, and they explained that younger kin communities gatekeeping what is or isn’t kinning is likely the reason we have irl communities today
Kinning doesn’t have to be past life specific, you can kin in think they are you currently!
The way I define IRLs: a connection to a fictional character that stems from a symptom of a disorder and/or an unhealthy coping mechanism.
For me personally, I believe my irls (which I prefer to call p/as) are probably related to my issues with personality and derealisation
The two main ways p/as seem to form for me are:
My personality latching on to fictional characters to feel more stable,
Or an unhealthy level of escapism mixed with my derealisation that leads me to somehow be more grounded in a world fantasy than reality in order to cope
If you disagree with what I’ve said, let me know! I’m vey interested in psychology and would love to hear your perspective :3

Word of advice for people in irl communities
Please be cautious of irl discord servers and communities. These places can easily become breeding grounds for gatekeeping and anti-recovery behavior.
Bad signs include: reality checking is fully banned, romanticizing of harmful symptoms, extreme criticism on term usage, others trying to convince you you are actually experiencing something else without any qualification, expectation to validate or contribute to symptoms, more concern for comfort than health, and “no doubles” server (the last one could be okay in theory, but I wouldn’t risk it)
I get if it feels nice to do these things, and it can even feel comforting, but stuff like this can worsen your symptoms significantly in the long-term
So I urge you to be careful
