what IS a D/A/Delusional Attachment? /GEN. (Im assuming this is the right blog for this, but if its not, feel free to ignore me!) I see tons of people saying theyre real while others are saying theyre just kin/folk. What are they/can you explain?

it's a really complicated topic but i'll try to summarize for you!

delusional attachment is a term that was coined in november 2020 by a twitter user (they've deactivated since and i cant remember their name) for individual use, to describe "a delusion of grandiose where you believe you are a character."

KFF twitter picks this up - they like it because it describes an experience they dont have a word for (or rather, have bastardized a word for,) which is identifying-as a character

the problem in lies that this is a poorly coined word for MANY reasons. the experience isn't necessarily a delusion of grandiose (and in most cases it actually isn't at all,) it's not an attachment (it's an identify-as identity, a literal delusional attachment would describe an erotomanic delusion) and identities are inherently not delusions. the person who coined it (albeit for personal use) didn't do their research into delusions before coining it. if this stayed as an individually used term, this wouldn't be such a huge issue

because it's the only words KFF have for identify-as, this has encouraged a LOT of non-psychotic people to use this word. and because many of them are young people, they don't do their research into delusions at all. they're known for spreading very severe misinformation on delusions and psychosis, typically based off their own experiences with psychosis (which again, they more often don't have! either way, basing education on anything off your own experience exclusively is incredibly dangerous and very unethical)

obviously, this hurts actually-psychotic people in many ways. it also hurts Real Otherkin, who get bullied a lot by these people. one of the worst misinformations to come out of this is that all identities are delusions, because of the basic definition of delusions which is that they're unshakeable beliefs. however, there are a lot more "rules" to defining delusions - if they consider otherkin to be delusions based solely off the summarized definition, they also include trans people and religious people as being delusional by the exact same definition (which is very obviously not the case, and the reason why there are rules.) they're somehow the same group that seems to bully other groups about being delusional the most - they have a trend of calling non-delusional people delusional or saying "get help" in an extremely malicious way. makes no sense, i know lol

because delusional attachments are made up of a good chunk of non-delusional people, they're VERY uncomfortable when a person displays real symptoms of psychosis (or any other symptom which isn't palatable or cute to them,) where they'll spout bullying and of course your tone-deaf sanism classic: "get help"

other discourse begins! "are delusional attachments real?" <- what they actually mean is "are delusional attachments medically recognized, and therefore a valid way to identify?" the answer to the former is no, of course they're not medically recognized. they're a very poorly named internet identity that's less than 2 years old. beyond that, they sort of are? but it's complicated. if a person who identifies with delusional attachment got diagnosed with a delusion, it would be "bizarre/non-specified" which basically means "miscellaneous" and is a catch-all for any bizarre delusion which doesn't fit into pre-determined categories. this diagnosis is obviously not exclusive to "delusional attachments." beyond that it's possible it would be considered a delusional misidentification, but that's not a diagnosis it's just a category/umbrella term. some could possibly be diagnosed with delusions of grandiose, although from what i've seen none of them actually display grandiose behavior at all. whether or not it's a "valid" identity is for nobody to decide though.

theres other discourse, like you mentioned "are they or are they not normal otherkin using sanism as a way to be "more valid" than otherkin?" self dx discourse, and general sanism discourse around them as well. most of it isn't very important in the face of "these people spread very severe anti-psychotic sanism" though

it's not terrible to identify as a delusional attachment (or having a delusional attachment? i dont know) but its generally a very big red flag for actually-psychotic people. it tells actually-psychotic people that you're either fine with or contribute to severe misinformation and anti-psychotic-sanism, and that you're generally ignorant and don't truly care about us. this often means ostracization for actually-psychotic communities

identify however you want, but be aware that this label comes with consequences

here's my full archive of delusional attachments - there's a lot of logs there of very blatant sanism and misinformation if you're interested in reading more
