parasociality as the situation where one person is mentally building a relationship with an individual but that individual is relating to them just as a generic category of person? https://x.com/mimi10v3/status/1717631197642117367
@crumbraven_ lol... I was hoping this would be a mode that can be turned on & off with a bit more sophistication... I see myself doing it, engaging w some as individuals & others as generics, sometimes shifting ppl back and forth between them... no one likes being just a Type of Guy, but pretending it isn't happening seems like a form of gaslighting
