absolutely! my ab*sive ex is now claiming all of his kins are alters, not only is this misinformed but it’s also a way for people to fake DiD to hurt other people & not take the blame. Let’s talk about what kinshifting is and what it does feel like! https://twitter.com/redditvevoreal/status/1290225216287891457
Kinshifting, or simply shifting, is when you feel more connected to one of your kins/past lives. so much so that you feel like you’re just them, that nothing has really changed from that life to this one. you adopt previous speech patterns, movements, facial expressions,
interests, thought processes. all of it, really. though going into certain shifts Can make you dissociate if you’re already prone to it (i have a few lives in which i dissociated a Lot or had a lot of traumatic things happen to me, so i dissociate sometimes in those shifts or
get very paranoid. You May feel like an ENTIRELY different person than you usually do, but that still doesn’t mean you have DiD. DiD is a mental illness, kinning is a spiritual belief. remember that. you may feel like your kinshift makes you act completely differently than
you normally would, but that Still does NOT mean you have an alter. i hope i cleared some stuff up :)
i’ve realized some of this may sound like “woah that’s scary that your personality changes so much.” yes, it is. it’s not that scary, it can be very comfortable at times, but it can also be messy, painful, and miserable. you. can’t choose your kinshifts easily.
