weird parasocial relationships stuffhave I ever explained these stories here? it happened to me three times.
the first one was the simpler and crazier, I was 17, and quite popular in the local Twitter scene. I was just walking, when someone came from the other side of the street and quickly hugged me. after some seconds, they asked "do you know who I am?", to which I answered "...no", they said "I'm (X) from Twitter" and I was like "oh, uh, hi X"
weird parasocial relationships stuffthe second time it was nicer and funnier. it was just some months later, I was outside drinking with some friends (old times), and we were walking on some wide avenue. suddenly, from the other side of the avenue someone screamed "HI ELIZABETH!". I didn't recognize who was it so I just screamed back "I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE" to which they replied "I KNOW YOU FROM TWITTER". I was quite confused and kinda drunk, so I ended up just answering "AH... WELL, I DON'T KNOW YOU BUT HI"
weird parasocial relationships stuffthe last one was a bit more "normal". which kinda says a lot about it
it was a couple years ago or so. I used to be more active on Fetlife back then and I did have pictures showing my face.
anyway, I was in the bus getting back home from the karting track, browsing Fetlife (yes, I know, I'm that kind of pervert), when suddenly I get a private message. it was from one of my mutuals there, just saying "I think I'm sitting in front of you in the bus right now".
this person didn't have pictures of their face, so it was difficult for me to check, but the fact that I was in fact in the bus was already quite a strong confirmation. I answered his message, and we didn't say anything irl until the end when we were getting out of the bus at the end of the line, when I said "what a coincidence, huh?" and he said "yeah.". afterwards, we just agreed to keep talking via message and got each on our way.
weird parasocial relationships stuff, pissoh since I mentioned Fetlife, I was recognized another time by someone from there, but it was in a 24/7 day picnic in a big public park. my back then owner was part of the organizing association, and he proposed I came along, so we were the first ones there. after some minutes, a couple young women approached us asking "hi, you're here for the (association) picnic, right?". he said "yes! do we look that much like some perverts? heh" and one of them said "oh, no, we just recognized her outfit (referring to me) from a pic in her Fetlife profile"
the pic in question was one where I was wetting myself
