Endel

Endel is a nonhuman or alterhuman term to describe one’s identity being caused by, rooted in, or greatly influenced by delusions. It is exclusive to those who experience delusions, and should not be used as an insult or way to suggest one could be delusional. Endel is exclusively a self-identifer to be used for oneself.

The term endel was created by Tumblr user strawberrybabydog in 2021. A Carrd was created for the term around this same time.

While the labels are similar, endel is not be confused with the term delusional attachment.
