no i mean this is like very obviously parasocial behavior let’s be serious rn lmao this is very clear hyper emotional investment in people who don’t actually know this person, assuming things about their character that they don’t know, and actively feeding on negativity against them.
It’s still parasocial silly!! interacting w the show doesn’t mean you should be calling REAL PEOPLE “stupid fuck ass bitches who need to suck a dick” that is OVERLY emotionally invested. period full stop. and that’s what parasocial relationships look like if they had just said “i don’t like the way chelley is acting it really puts me off” it would be fine but no this absolutely crosses a line and now you’re deflecting if you posted it or something you can go ahead and say that
I’m just irritated by this post because of the context of it. People have been calling out the parasocial behavior of fans picking apart every single one of Huda’s interactions with people outside the villa (aka, the show is over. Move on), yet suddenly everyone on here started saying “that’s not what parasocial means!” Then you post this? If the Huda shit isn’t parasocial, then this definitely isn’t.
honestly i don’t care that much and forgot how i found it i can’t lie. both things are true tho sorting by top is easy af and also i didn’t even need to do that, i saw sb else post it and i still stand on what i said that the og post is fucking weird and that person needs to touch grass surely we can agree on that
I am a psychologist baby I know what parasocial relationships look like A parasocial relationship is a one way emotional attachment with a celeb, public figure, even a fictional character. Being a “fan” or disliking someone is not parasocial. An extreme example of parasocial relationships is that girl who just put herself in the mental hospital bc she was in love w that f1 driver. The reason this specific post is indicative of a parasocial relationship is because this person is obviously very -
Emotionally heated in their post. They are genuinely upset in real life at someone they do not know for something they did on a reality TV show. Chelley did not harm them personally but this person felt so strongly about a SHOW that they hopped on Yik yak to say hateful and derogatory things towards a person they have never met. That is an emotional attachment and it’s not healthy to let your feelings get to that extreme when this show has no impact on your real life
hard read because having a Bach in psych doesn't make you a psychologist 😭 also nobody is denying that the post is parasocial, the argument is about the fact that all of you also seem to be. the evidence is in prior posts and the fact that this is 1000 comment thread. anyways i hope you all can take a chill pill and find a hobby outside of talking about reality tv characters on an anon forum ❤️
you literally have no credentials to call yourself a psychologist. I also got my Bachelor's in psychology and am in my second year of my Master's in counseling psychology. I also work in this field, per my practicum and internship. until I've graduated and gotten my licensure, I'm not calling myself a counseling psychologist.
