I started watching them last month, mostly ones who play the stuff I like but eventually I'd start getting too excited about their streams, staring at their channel for 10-20 minutes before the stream starts, getting excited thinking about watching them, planning my day around their stream so I could watch it
and I say them because I did this with 4 vtubers so far, whenever I notice it's happening I start watching someone else instead to fill the hole but eventually the same shit happens

How do I avoid this? I just wanted to watch them and have fun I wasn't expecting myself to be so pathetic

You don't. The whole business is centered around making people turn gachikoi and smashing the most vocal of the bunch. You can't make it without being at least a bit sociopathic and the managers and suits are outright psychotic and profit-driven whoremongers.

Step one: always remember that there's a real person behind the anime avatar and while there might be an overlap, the two are separate.
Step two: watch some more vtubers. Look for streams of a game you're interested in or just tune in to someone who's currently live. I find Tsunderia to be a great hub for expanding your horizons, as they often shill other agencies and some indies.

And then you stop making a difference when they inevitably start blurring the borders themselves because being in-character for a few hours is too hard, professionalism is too hard and they know their fans won't say no to getting closer to the "real me" and might even get a higher membership tier, buy merch and send SCs.

Remember that at the end of the day, all of it is a performance. Everything is character acting meant to keep you engaged and fascinated with said vtuber.

Even if there's barely any character acting done by the vtuber, it's all just a girl playing a bit online. You don't know her.

By not being a pathetic excuse for a human and actually developing real life relationships with other normal people you know. Most twitch and vtuber orbiter simps are a product of a weak parenting that get involved in fake internet anime girls because they have literally nothing else exciting going on in their lives.

You need to grow up and become the man your father/forefathers wanted you to be. Go lift, make money, achieve agency and actualization instead of letting your life be dictated by pixels on your screen.

That's the deal, you need to do whatever it is you need to do in order to not be such a emotionally destroyed person that sees relationships where none exist to fill the void in your heart.

How did the parasocial aspect of vtubers get so prominent in recent years? Back in 2018 most people watched a lot of vtubers from all over the place and appreciated them for their individualities. Is this a consequence of the content changing or the fanbases?

Do you think people who fall in love with cartoon girls can just find a girlfriend for sale on Walmart or something?

Honestly, I really think you're just some miserable loser who gets off on making people feel worse than you are.

>> No.21216004

>>21214927
Getting a little bit parasocial with a vtuber is kind of expected. But I honestly think that overtime it got pretty extreme even with vtubers that do this gig purely as entertainers no different from a stand up comedian that goes on the stage tells jokes and then does some crowd work. Like, you can be a complete opposite of GFE but if you're a female behind a 2D avatar, you are somehow automatically a GFE to these idiots.

>> No.21216192

>>21216004
I think just slapping a label of GFE or not-GFE as some kind of permissibility to nurture feelings for is dumb. You don't fall in love with people who overtly pretend to be your significant other, you fall for them because you like the personality they show and the attention they give you. Talented girls performing singing and entertaining things were once the provenance of courtesans for a reason, they're pleasing to the senses and the loneliness of watching streams lends itself well to perceived intimacy.

This shit doesn’t work dude, back when I was in high school 2 years ago I had all A’s, I’m not fat nor super skinny, I have some abs, lift for arms and legs also do calisthenics, now in college I’m also doing well. I still go back and fall in love with the damn fucking shark and every girl I like is either already dating someone or even worse dating a woman which makes me feel even worse. I just asume that my personality is simply bad by now, don’t get me wrong I don’t hate anybody for it, I simply thing some people don’t fit in. It’s natural, it has nothing to do with how you look or shit, if people like yo ur personality you’ll be happy, if people don’t, no matter how much you improve yourself for whatever the reason you won’t get that happiness. Just adapt to it and try to make sure you never overspend and keep being responsible and a good person to everyone else.
