Okay, so. Isn't really a hobby, but moreso hobby adjacent.

Parasocial relationships! Or: Jerma is totally your friend and will definitely be attending your birthday party. People have them, people love them, people hate them.

Anyways, to get to the point. May I posit the direct opposite to a parasocial relationship? A paranocial relationship, if you will. Celebrities are Just Guys to me, and perhaps that's a bit too friendly, but. I simply view them as people that got it big. I wouldn't be afraid to ask John Linell for street directions, but I wouldn't ask him to sign my face.

You get what I mean? Never interacted with a celebrity, but it feels very rude to go "oh my fucking god it's John Blimbo!", out loud, in the crowd, instead of just silently going "oh huh, its John Blimbo" mentally, and moving on.
