Dubious.Also, a short note: I'm open to the possibility that I'm delusional for thinking this. However, none of my psychiatrists seems to think so.
You're all humans having a hard time fitting in to society for whatever reason, and feel compelled to explain away something simple with something that won't damage your ego. It's hard to look ourselves in the eye and admit our weaknesses. In this case, it's harder to admit that you have a social dysfunction that needs improvement than it is to believe you are part unicorn and everyone knows unicorns just happen to be depressed and lonely creatures with Tumblrs that seek validation from other unicorns on websites like http://www.crazyboards.org.I've been doing some reading about Otherkin the past few days and the more I'm reading, the more I'm finding I can relate to this stuff. Finding communities of people that feel "non-human" like I do has made me feel so much less alone and strange. I'm not positive that I am actually otherkin, but it's striking chords with me. I've discovered things called 'elementals' and 'sylphs' which I find myself really relating to and finding similarities with. I've decided to start meditating and hope to find a spiritual side to myself, which I think will fill some large gaps and empty spaces in my life.

These so-called support communities are essentially enablement groups for the weak-willed.
