What do you mean by that?
Real otherkin see being so as a spiritual belief. Real otherkin, which you are NOT, believe they are reincarnations of things that weren't human. You two have made it into a "hey, I like this characterer! Hey, I like this animal! Let's call myself an otherkin."
It's a religious belief and you've butchered it into something to make yourself feel better. See a therapist instead of appropriating yourself into another community and making all REAL otherkin look as ridiculous as you've made yourself out to be.

'Real Otherkin', Wow, love me some gate keepers. And I use otherkin as a coping mechanism for my mental illnesses, you wanna know why I can't 'just go to a therapist'? Because guess what, poor, and abused people exist!! Isn't the world just wonderful?? Otherkin exist for a multitude of reasons, and you can't just shove them all into a tiny box.
When you're doing so you're erasing hundreds, thousands of mentally ill people and people who use their kin-ness as coping methods for different reasons. And yeah, I do believe in the reincarnation aspect of it, lol, so step off your high horse and go whine to someone else. Especially not on a thread where I'm trying to make new friends, sweetie

Tumblr has completely warped your view of the real world, sweetie. I know you're only 14, so I won't be harsh with you, but I do advise this--while coping mechanisms can be beneficial this particular one is not. Real otherkin really don't appreciate others such as yourself claiming to be so when you in fact aren't. Trust me, I know. And it's pretty offensive when you do so, and then you make real otherkin look like a joke when you do this. Really, it's harming everyone.You don't have to pay for therapists if you don't have the money. There are ways to get help elsewhere. As someone who struggled with suicidal thoughts all through middle school (and even still now) and as someone who has always been too poor to pay for a therapist, I found other ways. I discovered that I had thrown myself into a pit and refused to look for other options because I was convinced I couldn't do anything about it. My particular coping mechanism was self-harm and convincing myself I was otherkin. And you know what? When I went to be a part of another otherkin community, they slammed me. They told me all the things I told you. I stopped identifying as such but for years I thought they were wrong. It's only been in the last year that I realized they were right.
The only way I got out of the rut (suicidal thoughts) was to do some intense self-care. Research this bit yourself. My new "copes" became extremely long walks and dance.
Your mental illness won't go away, most likely. Mine hasn't. But there are better ways to cope than appropriation.

Sorry you had a run-in with the wrong folks, but I'm almost positive that in a capitalistic setting, getting a therapist without money is slim to no where. There may be some at school, but sorry! Schools don't respect your privacy and call child services the moment they learn about abuse, makes for a fun conversation at home, right?
And I'm still not sure about the appropriation part? You're claiming it is, but you're not explaining what-so-ever that it is appropriation. I'm actually really curious about that part, as well as how it is a bad coping mech. It's been a really useful one to me, and has even reduced how much I harm myself, and well as my suicidal thoughts. So, it really?? hasn't been a bad mech. A really good one for me, personally.
I meant that you don't need to find a therapist if you don't have the money. The other ways I meant are turning to self-help forums as well as one or two very good friends, a diary, etc.. Again, do this research yourself if you want actual help.
The appropriation bit I already explained: your spiritual beliefs don't line up with actual otherkin. You can't have been reincarnated from fictional characters. Not how that works.
I can guarantee that in about 2 years max you'll look back on this and be hella embarrassed so it's good to start erasing this cope now rather than later.

I never even mentioned my spiritual beliefs, tbh. I do believe in the reincarnation part for my animal kins, such as the cat, opossum, etc. But, there are different reasons why people ID as otherkin. You seem to be thinking in a linear fashion when it comes to it, which can be really harmful.
I can promise that there's more than just the reincarnation aspect of it, though. And part of the reason why a lot of coping methods don't work for me is because of my mental illness. I have memory problems, paranoia, etc. which prevent me from using a lot of these methods.
