alr techkin/otherkin-blr i need some help...
i will admit i have some incorrect biases regarding otherkin and nonhumanism(?). I identified as angelkin for a short time and i kind of made a fool of myself so I've invalidated any kin feelings I've had, saying that i couldn't be techkin because it couldn't work spiritually. That's why I have labelled myself as robothearted instead of robotkin.
But I'm seeing more otherkin utilizing it as a way to understand themselves better. I'm semi-undiagnosed neurodivergent, likely autistic, and resonate heavily with robots and computers. I act like a machine at times and have been described as such by family. I hate it when my body is not operating at 100% and despise it. I literally understand my feelings and my world better if it's described in tech terms. I'm not great socially and don't experience some emotions the same way as others.
Those and some current feelings are making me think i'm robotkin (and hey, maybe still angelkin actually. The two are surprisingly similar).
So my question is, what do you perceive the difference between otherkin and otherhearted as? What defines the difference between the two? Maybe i'm thinking about it too hard! I dunno!
