When parasocial grief feels more real than actual relationships

I have been following this lifestyle influencer for three years and when she posted about her miscarriage I cried harder than when my own sister lost her baby and I feel guilty and confused about why a stranger's pain hit me so deep.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The intimacy of one-way digital relationships can create emotional responses that feel disproportionate and confusing compared to reciprocal bonds.
