ok nonpsychotics are pissing me off so here's an informative thread about delusional attachments by a psychotic who experiences them

let's start with the basic stuff. delusional attachments are a kind of delusion of grandeur in which someone completely [for the lack of a better term] believes they are something/someone. delusional attachments are commonly to characters, but they can be to people, objects, etc.
it's important to note that only people on the psychotic spectrum can experience a delusional attachment, as well as people with disorders that have psychotic symptoms. you cannot have a delusional attachment if you're nonpsychotic.
this is /not a kin thing/. it isn't even close to kinning. it is not an "extreme kin" or anything like that. it is a delusion. you can separate yourself from a kin, but not a delusional attachment.
do not call your kin a delusional attachment i do not know why this is so hard to understand for some people but you do not have a delusional attachment if it's only a high no doubles kin. do not use the term d/a to exaggerate just how much you kin. that isn't how it works
do not separate someone who has a delusional attachment from their attachment. it's majorly triggering since it is a reality for them that they are that thing, and being separated from an attachment can mess with their sense of reality and cause panic and breakdowns.
understand that seeing a kin double and seeing someone kin your d/a are not the same. kin doubles only make you uncomfortable while seeing someone kin your d/a is triggering and panic inducing.
don't call people who have d/as to characters kinnies. don't call people who have d/as to real people factkinnies. they are not even close to that.
once again, nonpsychotics cannot experience these. it's only a high kin if you are nonpsychotic. do not claim to be psychotic so you get to say "i'm _ irl" that's just shitty. don't use the term fcc either that's basically just a term meaning "d/as without psychosis"
"kin delusions" and "kin memories" are not a thing. please don't fucking say this. delusional attachments and the [sometimes, not everyone with d/as experiences these!!] memories that accompany them are not fun kin things.
in short please please treat people who experience delusional attachments like normal people and nonpsychotics please stop claiming to have them when you don't have a psychotic disorder. if you have any more questions feel free to ask and psychotics feel free to add on!!
also hi unrelated but please don't priv qrt me it's. very panic inducing /nm
ok since this is getting a lot of attention bipoc feel free to drop ur venmos / cashapps / anything of the like!! :] i'd like to try to help as much as i can
