How do you recover from parasocial bullshit ruining your interest in wanting to watch and support vtubers, in case you repeat the same mistake despite being hurt once from it? Whether it was on your end or on the streamer themselves? I just don't want to get in a bad way with anyone ever again.

I just emotionally distance myself and view it as entertainment but people are free to enjoy VTubers however they please.

Especially because some chuubas exploit viewers by being parasocial themselves.

or they make sob stories to try and string you along and you fall for it when in actual fact they would rather fuck you over and throw you out as soon as you are easily disposable and replacable

Parasocialism is one hell of a drug.

How the fuck do you even develop a parasocial relationship, the usual relationship is hard enough to develop.
But I think the way to recover from parasocial relationship is the same as other problematic relationship, by making other social relationship with others

>the usual relationship
Some people don't even know what is that and this is why they fall so easily for it.

Choose a good chuuba to give your feelings, turn into a normie or kys
Those are the only options

I've been watching VTubers since Eilene and AI chan and never go this way, to be fair i'm an life experienced anon who as actually dated so the E-girl thing is weird to me.

I mean i've actually given real women money and had them turn around and do shit with other guys other than "oh no she TALKED to another guy", trust me the feeling is WAY different than what you pussies won't allow streamers to do without crying. I think in the end >>60103152 anons are right as much as people hate that phrase it simply can't be summed up better. I just don't see how people can't get in so deep with something so fake compared to the real thing, so just try to experience the real thing first.

treat vtubers like watching a tv show and find another hobby/make real connections. you only grow parasocial mainly because of the amount of time you invest in vtubers

starting to think that way too...

I just stopped watching streams and only watch clips now. No point watching full streams or supporting these cunts in any way if you're not there for the parasocial aspect, might as well get your free entertainment and fuck off and do something else with all the free time you gained by not watching streams.

problem is the clips end up being rather samey and many people don't get clipped
