    Since I didn’t know:

    “Parasocial” refers to a relationship or connection felt by a person towards someone they do not know personally, typically a celebrity, character in a media, or public figure. This relationship is one-sided, meaning the other person is unaware of the connection.

    Isn’t that just the definition of a parasocial relationship?

    That depends on if you know them IRL.
