alr, but what does parasocial mean? i looked up the definition but am honestly even more confused-@black-rabbit-fiction
Para as a prefix means alongside, or apart from– so, alongside or apart from a social relationship.
It means feeling like a social interaction is happening, even though the other person isn’t actually interacting with you.
There is nothing inherently negative about parasocial interactions and parasocial feelings and it is normal to have them.
some examples of parasocial interactions:
*getting a crush on a celebrity who you follow through tabloids or social media.
*feeling like video game streamers are your friends when you watch their streams
