I can’t get myself to delete phone numbers/contacts. So I constantly see Whatsapp statues of random people. My old landlord celebrated New Year skiing with his family. The chick I bought a crocheted bunny from had a plastic Christmas tree. The girl who moved into my old apartment is trying to start off an OF by promoting content on Telegram. Slackperson got enganged. Some dude is a pilot. It’s sniplets out of stranger’s lives and I wonder whether they are aware what they are sharing with strangers.

I don’t follow any influencers and never had instagram or there like, only Reddit and Lemmy, so this is as much exposure to parasocial relationships as I get.
