Anonymous asked: Uh, hi. I'm kind of new to the idea of being a fictive, and I have a few questions. I'm sorry if you've already answered them. 1) Do you know how common it is to be a fictive and a singlet? It seems really rare, but I'm not multiple. 2) Should I be worried at all about my mental health? I know that sounds bad but that's my biggest concern. Thank you. Anonymous asked: Uh, hi.

1) How common is it to be a singlet fictive?

That’s a hard question to answer because we honestly don’t have any good statistics for kin and fictives and multiples. But I’d say it’s rarer than multiplicity fictivity and I’ve only seen four or five here on tumblr in the year or so I’ve been an active part of the community. Still, they’re out there.

2. Should you be worried about your mental health?

That depends a lot on how you feel about it, to be honest. Do you feel like it’s a delusion or a trick, a brain malfunction? Or do you feel like it’s a comfortable relaxing into an identity you’ve always had, something that isn’t a crack or tumor on your mentality but another detail.
