Parasocial interaction refers to a kind of psychological relationship experienced by the audience in their mediated encounters with people, real or fiction, on mass media platforms. Viewers and listeners come to consider media personalities as friends despite having limited interactions with them. These relationships tend to be very one-sided as one person extends emotional energy, interest, and time and the other party, the persona, is completely unaware of the other person's existence.
