 my name's Leo! though I've identified myself with otherkin and the like for a while, I used to identify solely with the "coping mechanism" side of the community on tumblr. however, I've recently been breaking away from that and coming to terms with my own spirituality after being brought up in a household fairly strict about religion. I guess I felt like if I actually identified as alterhuman I would somehow be a disappointment to my parents or something, but now that I'm an adult and making more and more of my own choices, I seriously don't care what they think about my spiritual identity.

...anyway, I'm vampirekin, and possibly some others but I don't have a strong grasp on them yet. I'm migrating to here + possibly some other sites from tumblr following recent events, so if there's things I don't quite know, it's because I was most involved in the otherkin community on there and, well, if you know what it's like you'll know what I mean. 

Ciao!

Welcome! It's funny because I've always been rooted pretty heavily in the spiritual side of kin and only just started to poke at it from a more "oh, this could be a possibility as well" perspective, but I'm starting to realize I have a lot of things I'm -hearted to which are possibly on a more psychological side.

Good on you for sticking to your guns re: parents and their beliefs! My personal opinion is that if it doesn't harm or belittle anyone, or interfere with their day to day life, believe whatever you like!

Welcome! I'm on Tumblr, but not part of the community over there. (Because I do know what you mean.)

It's great to have that feeling of not needing to please anyone with your thoughts and beliefs. Go you.
