"hanging out with your friends"

That is not semi-parasocial, it is full parasocial, and you should do your best to discourage that kind of sentiment if ever conveyed genuinely.

I know it's a tough subject. Pretty much everyone is semi-parasocial. But describing someone you literally don't know and just watch content from as a friend is parasocial and an incredibly delusional and dangerous mindset.
