One of the persistent issues is that the intensification of parasocial relationships (PSRs) among members of Generation Z presents a growing concern in the realm of mental health, particularly due to the prevalence of social media as a platform for cultivating these one-sided bonds. According to studies, PSRs are emotional attachments individuals form with media figures, such as influencers or celebrities, often simulating the intimacy of real-life relationships. This contrasts with previous relationships among older generations; in this case (Gen Z), they have heavily relied on social media for entertainment and identity formation. However, the problem is that these relationships can become deeply personal and emotionally consuming.
