Parasocial Interactions Part I

I have really struggled with trying to come up with someone that I have an interpersonal relationship with. I couldn't even come up with an example in class. To be honest, it was a rather embarrassing moment! I felt so unconnected with everyone else in that moment. I felt so not normal for not being able to think of someone to connect with like everyone else in the room. The thing is I don't know why I feel like I don't connect with anyone. I watch TV, I watch movies, I read books, I read PEOPLE magazine. I do "normal" things just like everyone else that connect me with people in society. But for some reason, I just couldn't think of anyone I really follow and look up to besides people in my everyday life that I actually encounter and interact with. The more I have sat here and talked with my roommate and tried to think of someone to connect with, I have discovered that I don't necessarily have to have an parasocial relationship. I feel that if I did have to choose to connect with someone it would be not necessarily a specific character, but characters that I can relate to on life issues.
