Parasocial
意味: A one-sided emotional connection with someone (usually a celebrity or content creator) who doesn't know you exist.
A parasocial relationship is when you feel a genuine emotional bond with a celebrity, influencer, or content creator even though they have no idea who you are. You know their schedule, their preferences, their inside jokes — but they don't know your name. Gen Z became very self-aware about this phenomenon, using 'parasocial' to call out both their own behavior and others'. It can be playful ('my parasocial bestie') or critical.
