This was a great balanced view on parasocial relationships. Personally, I have gained a few benefits but I can also see some downsides. I work a very stressful job and watching clips of my idol & groups makes me feel comforted and supported in a way and able to keep going. I also had a lot of trouble looking in the mirror for quite a long time and after my favourite group had a partnership with a skincare brand, I'm improving in that way while doing skincare and taking care of myself. I think it can be beneficial for lonely people as long as it doesn't go too far to the point where the person thinks they actually own the idol. That's when it's scary. For my ult, I just want him to be happy and fulfilled.
