All questions about have a celebrity crush

For people confused:
“ Parasocial relationships are one-sided relationships, where one person extends emotional energy, interest and time, and the other party, the persona, is completely unaware of the other’s existence. Parasocial relationships are most common with celebrities, organizations (such as sports teams) or television stars.”
(I would also add youtubers and idols to the lists of personas)

At what point do you think a parasocial relationship become unhealthy?
How do you feel about personas who have their dms open to their fans?
Have you ever had an unhealthy parasocial relationship? What was your wake up call that your obsession was unhealthy?

i just...dont understand the concept of having a celebrity crush. you know thats not what theyre actually like, right? it's a public image and you dont know them in real life, so how can you have a crush?

and im not explicitly talking about things like kpop fandoms, although i dont understand those either. how can people like someone when all they see is whatever image the celeb decides to have?

sorry if this is a weird question, im just confused

what's up with all the pick me questions today lmao wtf-
