Exploring Parasocial Relationships through Stalker Behavior

The chapter delves into the disturbing phenomenon of stalkers who believe celebrities are interacting with them and are in love with them, using a specific incident involving a stalker and Jodi Foster as an example. It discusses how social media facilitates such delusions, likening this behavior to parasocial relationships that are increasingly prevalent. The conversation also connects the themes of stalking, fame, and parasocial relationships in Billie Eilish's song 'The Lourve' to broader discussions around celebrity culture and personal perceptions.
