Memory issues are funny because tbh I remember the details of my life here just as well and just as poorly as I remember the details of my kin/fictive lives.

There are actually a lot of kin memories that are way clearer than memories here.

*have to take a moment to remind myself that my timeline went differently and the canon isn’t real and can’t hurt me.*

Hey, I was wondering if you might be able to help me out with something. I know you specialize on fictionkin but... recently a person told me that they are factkin with me. Not as a joke like some people's "I'm factkin with this" sort of thing but actually legit factkin with me. And it really has me freaking out a bit and scared because I have a very unstable sense of identity so it really ran me through a loop. How can I cope with this? What should I do? Any advice appreciated!

Hi there, anon. I’m sorry that it took me 40 minutes to answer this ask, since I was on lunch as normally this is the kind of ask I like to answer right away.

Telling you this was abusive, and emotional manipulation, whether they are conscious of it or not. Flat out. You have every right to be uncomfortable and freaked out.

My advice is that you go no contact with this person immediately. Block them on every avenue of communication that you have with them. There is no possible way to interact with them in a healthy way after this.

There is never a reason to believe anyone claiming to be you from the future, past, or another dimension, or any other kind of doppelganger. ( unless a person can present you with hard evidence of the time machine they arrived in.) For your mental health, do not even entertain the idea that they really could be.

Likewise here is NEVER a good reason to tell someone that you believe you are them. The person making the claim is either attempting to fuck with you mentally, or they themselves are in need of serious mental help.

A compassionate, non-manipulative friend who really, genuinely believed that they were somehow factkin of you would have kept this information to themselves, period.
