otherkin has been a part of my identity for YEARS. at first, i was in denial of being the "weird" kind of otherkin, and would insist that i only did so for fun. nowadays, though, i don't really care what people think of this part of me. if i'm a dog, i'm a dog. cope with it. who cares. my experience with otherkin is psychological for the most part, with a spiritual aspect of it as well. it's difficult for me to explain and tends to fluctuate, kind of like many other parts of myself.
i don't care if you "kin for fun" or whatever at this point lol i've put all of those years of arguing about pointless shit on the internet behind me, just know that i'm Not that.
