Finally, after years of people asking on this blog, I can answer the question"what is the difference between a kin and an irl? Why do people use the term IRL instead of kin?“

IRL is a term used in the psychotic community as an alternative to the term "delusional attachment.”

You can find out more on this great fact sheet.

Thank you to @bepo-goodbye for sharing this info with us.
