Ask Ang - Parasocial Relationships

The Saturday Hangover

Thursday, 2 April 2026 - 17 minutes

Have you ever felt as though you know someone in the public eye on a deeper level in the same way as you do a friend even when you have never met them?

Maybe you feel you have built up a relationship with an AI companion or spend time sending messages on social media to people you admire and feel connected when you receive a reply.

If this sounds familiar to you or someone you know, Ask Ang discusses Parasocial Relationships, and suggests some small steps that may help you to cope with this.
