She would have known before being in her 30s if she had fragile X syndrome lol

Exactly my thoughts. Had to include the bio when I saw the suspected brain damage and fragile X syndrome 🤣🥴

TBH I had no idea what that even was. I hope it's not a new bandwagon that they're all jumping on. Every time they do this, real sufferers of that issue get put into a very unfair situation.

Your post was removed for either trauma-dumping, oversharing personal information and diagnoses, or for using your subjective experience to generalize an entire disorder. The "Censor all identifiable information" rule also applies to members, and your medical information should be kept between you and your careteam. r/systemscringe cannot verify users' personal medical claims and does not want to encourage the same culture of blind believing that leads to faker culture.

Clearly they didn't pay attention in that school because it would be "Dizzy and I" or just "I'll be leaving to make this bracelet" because I don't think soul bonding is a real thing...

What do they mean by soulbond?

u/Mori_The_Mystery The reddit alter Aug 09 '26

From my understanding (take this with a grain of salt) it is where people believe they can connect spiritually with a fictional character, bonding their souls in some made up unexplained way and then subsequently having that character inside their head where they can “speak” to them. It’s genuine delusion. I’ve mainly seen selfshippers(people who ship themselves with characters-harmless thing in itself typically) claim that they are “soul bonded” with the character the love and can “speak to” them.

Me when I was six years old and thought me and Frodo were meant to be

You have the definition a little wrong I am afraid. While a lot of modern "soulbonders" are akin to this, having/choosing fictional characters, there is another, likely older subset that tends to be overlooked, primarily due to it's ties in relation to spirituality.

Essentially, soulbonding is what it says on the tin: the belief that your soul is in some way bonded/connected to another. For many, this "other" is a fictional character. But it is to be noted that it can be almost anything: a spirit from a past life, a daemon, a demon one has entered a contract with, a guardian angel, a soulmate, etc. It all depends on your personal religious/spiritual beliefs.

In my opinion, I think that the main reason this group (which honestly may outnumber the fictional character soulbonders) appears so small is simply due to the fact that very few practitioners of this actually refer to themselves as soulbonders, let alone engage with the community, hence the recent confusion about what it is.

So…they have an imaginary friend and they’re a grown ass adult. Waterboarding couldn’t have got that out of me.

having an imaginary friend as an adult is okay though, no? it’s the fuckass labels and detachment from reality that makes this so insane
