As a parasocial relationship is an imaginary relationship of a commoner with a public figure, it can also have breakups. When you stop this one-sided relationship with a celebrity, it’s called a parasocial breakup. It can happen if you find a better idol to move on, or your idol’s show ends or stops airing. If you didn’t initiate the parasocial breakup, the pain can be similar to real-life separations like anxiety, depression, insomnia, aggression, or even fear. Sometimes people engage in a loop of toxic parasocial relationships with repeated parasocial breakups which end up harming them.
