Granted, while it sounds rather disconcerting, inreality, not all parasocial relationships are that bad. Some people enter them just for entertainment purposes.

That means that they find a celebrity compelling and like to—for instance—follow their work,gossipabout them, and maybe even join some fan clubs to connect with other fans and similar things. But all of this is done while acknowledging that although being a fan is a part of their life, it isn’t a personal relationship.

Today, we made a list of feelings stemming mainly from this kind of parasocial relationship. To be more specific, it’s full of examples of celebrities doing things that theirfanscan’t forgive them for.Don’t be discouraged, most of them are in good fun, but all of them are rather petty, like someone being salty about an actor wearing a terrible wig. Of course, we also included some more serious examples to weigh out the silly ones—just to show how varied celebrity mishaps can be. And still, this list is mostly about being petty and not taking everything too personally.

My absolute most unhinged one: One time while sick with Covid, I had a dream that I had sx with Pedro Pascal and he didn’t even TRY to reciprocate. Basically a wham, bam, thank you ma’am. I’m not attracted to him at all, and it was just a dream, but ever since then I’ve had one sided beef. Like, I don’t even get to enjoy my own sx dream?? While I have Covid????? Egregious.

A radio show I used to listen to did a giveaway every day. They always gave the prize to caller #7. I tried to win the prize every day but was never able to. One day the prize was a nintendo game cube (when it was the newest system). The show had tenacious D as guests that day. the host announces “call now, caller number 7 wins a new nintendo game cube!” I start dialing. then jack black says “no, we’re taking over the show and we say caller THIRTEEN wins!” That was the day I was finally caller 7. jack black robbed me of a gamecube.

This can’t be said about some folks, who are in differentlevelsof parasocial relationships than the ones we talked about. Some folks are aware that the relationship isn’t personal, but struggle to control their feelings when it comes to them. For instance, they start believing that the celeb, a person they actually never met, is their soulmate—or someone, who needs to be worshipped.This might make it difficult for them in their actual relationship, as they may tend to put their parasocial relationship above a real one, causing rifts in their personallife. Yet, that’s not even the furthest it can go. There’s also a borderline-pathological parasocial level.

I don’t listen to Adele’s music any more because I had tickets to her concert on the first anniversary of my mum dying (I liked Adele, but my mum LOVED Adele) and she cancelled it the morning of because of being ill. In the cancellation email, she said she’d make sure her fans for that gig got priority tickets the next time she toured. Funnily enough, none of the gigs she’s done since then have been classified as a tour. When I eventually got to the front of the queue for her Hyde Park date, it was standing only tickets at £350 each. Pass!

I still love Neil Young, but I will never as long as I live forgive him for writing so beautifully about his wife in his autobiography, how she was the anchor that kept his mental health functional over decades, what a wonderful mother she was to their children, how devoted she was to creating opportunities for severely disabled children like their son…Meanwhile he was cheating on her with Daryl Hannah, finally leaving her for that vapid mermaid while she was DYING OF CANCER.
