from Mental Health News Radio · host Mental Health News Radio
What happens when hyperfixation, fandom culture, loneliness, attraction, projection, and neurodivergence all collide online?In this wildly honest episode, Kristin sits down with Alicia Deer to talk about fangirling, parasocial relationships, emotional attachment, identity performance online, masking, attraction, internet intimacy, and why neurodivergent people often experience connection so intensely. Funny, uncomfortable, self-aware, and surprisingly healing — this conversation goes way deeper than celebrity crushes.She describes herself as "like both of the Property Brothers in one lesbian body" with a BA in Creative Writing (FSU) and a Realtor since 2018. But also a Matrix Breaker & Systems Decoder.Find Alicia on TikTok at @alicioliofficial or just Google "Alicia Deer Realtor" because she is all over!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.
