Imagine cuddling on the couch with your shipcest F/O.
The two of you snuggle under a blanket together, letting you touch and tease each other playfully without anyone noticing.
You whisper to each other, making sure to be careful that no one overhears or notices you flirting.
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
I wanna make a pun about const-anti-nople here but I got nothing 🤣
“we have progressed beyond the tumblr sexyman”
