It doesn't look like there is any damage to any social reputation. I just encountered the same lady last night and we were both very cordial with each other. Actually she seemed rather positive within that interaction. I do talk to people, in person, or zoom, where there is an opportunity or I feel comfortable enough.
Of course, this is the mindset in how I approached this. No question about that. The problem is it's hard to take baby steps if you are amogged or expected to perform some tight game when you are up to bat. You've seen the feedback I got from other posters about those baby steps?
Don't place any expectations on yourself or on the interaction and view it as another step toward improving in that area.
Best possible advice.
One incel homie gave up years ago. He's physically the opposite of you; homie MUST bulk. Refuses offcourse. Y'all might do better overseas, but it will still be lackluster at best.
This particular Tyrone guy has long dreadlocks hair, is younger, and has a more energetic and youthful vibe. I'm not going to be able to compete with that no matter what work I put into my appearance.
It easy for you to say something like that since you are not isolated.
How are you isolated?
You are better off by actually vibing with Tyrone instead of looking at him as the end all be all competitor.
I don't think there are sufficient studies to establish and adequate conclusion if they are healthy or unhealthy. However, my perspective on parasocial activities is that they can become harmful outlets to people in these one sided relationships. There is a safety aspect to the fandom/communities these "celebrities" create, and since you are not interacting with them in real life, you are projecting anything you want and need onto them. It can become obsessive, and your comment about " videos do not judge you or expect you to perform" or your OF interactions are concerning.@Rainrain here is an article I just google searched for parasocial relationships.
Friend or Faux: Are Parasocial Relationships Healthy?
Are you deeply invested in the life of a celebrity — be it an athlete or actor, a singer or social media influencer, or even a politician or pop star? That’s not necessarily a bad thing! Find out why we form parasocial relationships and their psychological benefits and drawbacks.health.clevelandclinic.org
On the reading of it, it doesn't show anywhere that these types of relationships are unhealthy and looks like a net positive.
I'm trying to cultivate a new path into the parasocial...however, it hasn't exactly taken off yet.
All I really have is those 6 minutes used on a video during a lunch break. Honestly, I look at all sorts of content, not just a nice/hot/articulate woman with decent talking-points over a screen all the time.
However, you are free to call me on any of the negative issues pointed in the article....which, NONE of them check the box on how I'm doing this.
There is a wierd mental block with him. Not sure if I can vibe. But your advice is noted.
Other posters, such as @Gamisch does not think so.
If given a choice between a) approach the crush that rejected you again verses 2) watch a video of Christina Randall or whomever else you want to watch, which do you think is the better option?
Again man, what have you improved on since you been here, are you coachable? Do you work out? What are your hobbies? Are you self-sufficient? What individual traits does Corrector has that separates him from the rest? What are you goals? What do you provide?
Exactly. I've followed the advice on here not to pursue this girl and therefore that demonstrates coachability and that I am listening to advice on here.
remember this quote from you 3 pages ago?
