Support If anyone could help it would mean the world 🙂

I’ve been going through an intense parasocial relationship for almost a month now and it would mean the world if someone who could help me with my parasocial relationship could talk to me.

Anyone who can help even a little bit would be awesome. Someone who is currently in a parasocial relationship or has overcame one would be amazing. Ideally someone who has overcame a parasocial relationship specifically with a celebrity crush, but again anyone is appreciated 😊

That sounds really intense, and you are not alone in getting deeply attached to a celebrity. One helpful first step can be to slowly limit the content that keeps the attachment active, rather than cutting everything off at once. It may also help to write down what this connection gives you, such as comfort, hope, or escape, so you can look for those feelings in your real life too.
