What are your guy’s opinions on parasocial relationship?
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?
Parasocial relationships can be healthy since it can make a person feel less lonely and or provide some sort of happiness to both or one party. I bet most of yall have a parasocial relationship with a famous person to some degree
That being said it can turn obsessive and stalker-ish in many ways.
But i feel like that's due to other mental health i...... reply
