Parasocial relationships are one-sided relationships in which one person invests emotional energy and time into a media figure or character. While these types of relationships can be enjoyable and provide a sense of companionship, they can also be unhealthy if they are not kept in perspective. It is important to remember that media figures and characters are not real people and do not have the same feelings or emotions as actual human beings. It can be easy to get caught up in a parasocial relationship and forget this, which can lead to disappointment or even distress when the media figure does not behave in the way that the person wants them to. Additionally, excessive reliance on parasocial relationships can be a sign of social isolation or loneliness and can prevent a person from developing and maintaining real-life relationships. I'm in my isolation era so they aren't really that bad for me but I understand how weird and beneficial they are-- also I haven't been promoting my blog - I might try to plug it next time.
