What You Should Know

  • People often get obsessed with famous people because they see something in them that they can relate to. People can feel seen when they see similar traits in a famous and successful person, even if they have normal lives.
  • Celebrity fandoms can bring people together, usually online. Fans often connect with each other through forums or social media, making friends and a sense of community through memes, fan fiction, fan art, and more.
  • Being too close to someone you don't really know can stop you from growing as a person. You might not be able to enjoy everyday things or hang out with friends because of the parasocial relationship.
  • Being constantly involved and feeling like you have to keep up with everything going on in a celebrity's life, or feeling like you have to "perform" your fandom, especially if you make fan art, fiction, or memes, can wear you out.
  • If you become obsessed with a celebrity crush, it could turn into a parasocial relationship. People in these kinds of relationships are so obsessed with the person or thing they love that they may ignore real relationships or tie their self-worth to the person's career or story arc.

What to Do

  • Get back in touch with your real life. If you think you're getting too attached to a celebrity crush, spend time with friends, go outside, or do things that remind you of who you are.

  • Don't forget who you are. Being too attached to a show, singer, or actor can hold you back from growing as a person. The relationship might keep you from enjoying normal things or spending time with friends.

  • Be polite. When celebrity crushes go bad, they can lead to cyberbullying and other bad behavior. Fans sometimes excuse harassment or bad behavior in the name of "passion," especially when the celebrity is being attacked in real life.
