Parasocial: Audience Perspective and Setting Boundaries

from Balance On The Tightrope Hosted by TJ

"Got a question, a thought, or just want to say hi or S/O? Drop me a message!" In This Episode I discuss parasocial behavior between creators and audiences, focusing on how fans can blur the line between supporter and friend and overstep into a creator’s private life. Also how creators should set clear boundaries about what is shared publicly, especially as constant social media exposure can build genuine communities that show long-term support but harmful behaviors like clip farming, shipping, and putting words in creators’ mouths, can disrupt healthy spaces.
