This may be controversial but the way people form parasocial relationships with neurodivergent/sick kids on the internet is so strange like when parents post kids who have hsn autism or have cancer like full adults commenting “I just love them” is weird

does it count if u see a kid with cancer and they’re bald and just look so sick and then a few weeks or months later or something they show up on ur fyp again with a full head of hair growing out and it’s like they came back to life bc they got better and u cry

That’s not parasocial that’s empathy I’m talking about people who GENUINELY feel like they know these children and “love” them
