📌 What is a parasocial relationship?

A one-sided bond where someone feels emotionally connected to a public figure they’ve never met

◾️ Can form with celebrities, TV or movie characters, book figures — even AI
◾️ People may feel closeness, admiration, or even a family-like bond
◾️ Negative feelings like hatred can also develop
◾️ The person may be idealized, heroized or seen as a role model

🔍 Cambridge Dictionary says searches spiked after YouTuber IShowSpeed called a fan 'number 1 parasocial'

📚 First used in 1956 by Donald Horton and Richard Wohl of the University of Chicago to describe viewer relationships with TV personalities

🎤 The intense online fascination with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement was cited as a modern example of parasocial interaction
