You've recently found out about Otherkin and been introduced to the new ideas that really don't feel so new to you. Your associations with how you regard those around you may be subject to change, depending on the support you find. Everything we do in this world can be exceedingly easy or difficult depending on who we have around us. For some awakened otherkin, the realization of their spirits not being human can send them into a state of arrogancy towards human spirits, causing the awakened kin to feel as though others are inferior; yes this often times leads to a serious superiority complex.

This doesn't always happen to otherkin who have awakened. Some actually regard all those around them, others that are 'kin and human, in as equal a light as possible. I suppose it would have a lot to do with the kind of support one gets from others regarding their own otherkin'ness and how they are influenced by those who've previously crossed the thresholds of awakening, before them.

As mentioned two weeks prior, the awakening process (we'll cover more in depth next time) covers a lot of important elements that would be much more difficult than could be without the assistance of others who have crossed the thresholds before us. It can be especially trying on a subject when they find that they're without support from others of their specific 'kin. While interaction between two different races is supportive in a developmental right, its much easier for a Demon 'kin to get through the awakening with other Demon 'kin giving them support than that of a Faerie 'kin. Its because they understand each other best, and are better able to assist each other with the pressing troubles of the awakening.

Next time, more about the awakening of an Otherkin.
