You can be parasocial towards people that aren't famous
You can be parasocial towards people that aren't celebrities
If you form an unhealthy attachment towards someone that you barely know anything about and base your entire wellbeing and life on that person, and that person does NOT reciprocate that closeness at all and doesn't even know you outside of a few surface level interactions? you're being parasocial!
Friendly reminder that being parasocial is not exclusive towards famous individuals, you can be parasocial about a stranger online too!
