Couple's discounts, carpool lane, someone to watch your shit when you use the bathroom in a public place; it certainly has its practical uses, if you don't have a friend to fill the role. And if you wanna go a level deeper, those with social anxiety or (on a happier note) those developing language skills can use someone like that just to practice talking. Again, better with a friend, but it's an option.

Yeah, it's like that scene in John Wick. Viggo told his assistant to stay as he beats Iosef. It took me long to realize his order means "stay so I restraint from killng my own son." People lost their better judgement when being emotional. Being seen by a neutral party keeps that emotion in check.

It was horrible being an only child. I so wish I had siblings. When your parents are mad at you it feels so lonely

[@Jess-h2h4w]

Maybe it's a fear response. The same response when people hold or cling to something like a pillow when watching a horror movie. It just means their parents have failed to protect or support the child. The parents have become a source of fear for the child.

[@RadenWA]

In a perfectionist and non-confrontational culture, it is very hard for people to accept that fights and disagreements happens, thinking that these are signs that they are not compatible or there is no longer love there. When they are constantly put into these ideal standards, it is just natural that they end up favoring “relationships” where they have full control over the other, including the virtual ones. We need to normalize reality, aka imperfections.

The rise of incelism in Asia among men and women both impacts art too. Everything is trying to cater to that loneliness and need for a parasocial relationship, from idols, through anime, to games, and everything is getting poisoned by this gooner slop. Idols can't date. Fictional characters can't date. Everyone has to be available and breastily boob around the place. It's actually killing narratives of good shows, mangas, and games. But in their main target audience, it sells. It is sad, but also pathetic and infuriating.

[@monbub]

I hate this, too. Mostly there are no couples in anything. Like, Isaac and Miria from Baccano. But recent anime never have established couples and it's so annoying. Even romance might be about forming a couple as an end goal, but they're single for the entire run and just tease this or that ship. I find it annoying. Couples can have great dynamics and make the story more interesting, but all the desirable singles have to stay single the entire run. And especially the women characters can't even hint that they've had previous relationships or certain people lose their minds. Harem and Otome are fine ig but they're spilling over into everything.

[@dangitdoodles]

It genuinely boggles my mind the way people get so attached to para-social relationships - like I love the KZbinrs I watch, and sometimes they can fill the same space that a friend would, but the KZbinrs I watch are not my friends. I only get to see the on camera version of them, and they don’t even know I exist, even if a comment I left is acknowledge by the creator, my user name isn’t my real name and my profile pic isn’t of me

parasocial relationships are not something you're just immune to, you know more about the people you watch than they do you, that itself is a parasocial relationship. The extremes you hear about in videos like this are extremes, where people take their knowledge or affection of someone too far, not the norm that everyone on the internet is susceptible to.

Never liked watching Streamers. I've found them to be really drawn out and most of the streaming is just ranting about random thoughts. I guess I'm working in human services so at the end of the day don't wanna hear any more rambling from strangers.

[@buddywriggles]

It's incredibly difficult to be engaging for extended periods of time, especially with the ways the internet and algorithms have evolved dopamine seeking. It's amazing how hard someone can work, only to be sharing random thoughts to be honest. That being said, I have rarely been able to sit through a stream, even from streamers I like. For me, it's the ''repeating sentences 2-3 times" that really gets me. I assume it's equal parts filling the air time, allowing for people who didn't hear the first time and recognizing that the audience comes and goes but it drives me batshit. But clearly it's just not for me, and that's fine. The whole internet doesn't need to cater to my needs and wants. (Adding this because my comment got more rambly than I intended and I don't want people to think I'm mad that I don't like something lol)

[@NIGHTBLOODUSAGI]

the only streams i can always stand are the ones from small streamers or channels/ones that get little viewers. they're yummy little gems and i feel like spike from mlp but i do like listening to their random thoughts, random thoughts in general are fun and i like engaging. but i feel like with bigger ones (specifically on yt idk anything else) are boring even tho they do the same thing. like theres less soul

[@dowfreak7]

Interesting, I'm not a stream connoisseur by any means, but I have a handful that I like to hop in on. There's no real "ranting" or "random thoughts", unless you consider "conversation and storytelling" to be that, I guess. All I want from a streamer is an interesting personality and an entertaining display of some sort. Be that gaming or cooking or, yes, a good story. Funnily enough, that disqualifies most huge streamers, because I can't be arsed to type in a sea of 5k children and I'm not really interested in hearing 20 minutes to 2 hours of "thank you for the 3$ and the repetitive shit joke that wasn't funny 50 minutes ago". And with Twitch going adshit insane and most adblockers unable to catch everything, seeking out new channels feels so bad, that I just stick with the few I got. (Also, if a rant and hearing someone's thoughts is something you heavily dislike, I think you clicked on the wrong video)

Okay since Love and Deepspace was mentioned: IT‘S SO GOOD I SWEAR GUYS THE ADS ARE PAINFULLY MISLEADING- I am super serious when I say never has there been any Otome game this HQ. Yes, cringy at times. But the storytelling is super complex, every character has insanely detailed and unique backstories. The visuals are super next level for an Otome game. There are a lot of endearing events, fun Mini Games and different ways of Interacting with the characters. The general worldbuilding is also pretty immersive and another thing: Facial features in character customization are EXTREMELY detailed- sadly not with hair, skin tone or body type though. The fighting part is also fun, though you can also put it on automatic if you‘d like. I cannot stress this enough; It‘s the best Otome game there is rn and nobody can tell me otherwise TT only thing that‘s super frustrating is the gacha part but it is what it is

I wouldnt say I was agoraphobic, but I didnt leave my house for like 8 months. Only talked to people who came over and delivery people.

[@Changbinhasgyatt]

UR HYUNJIN PFP

[@darcy5761]

At least you have a dog. It doesn't sound like these other video obsessed people have anything alive and real.

[@42smash36]

that's a parasocial loser freak behavior, get help buddy

[@Saitaina]

I understand this loneliness. Due to disability, I am very much stuck in my home, and it's easy to fall into if you don't find ways to alleviate it. While I don't spend money on it - social media, twitch, etc work to fill up space.

[@darcy5761]

Why doesn't someone start lonely people clubs where they could(hopefully) interact with each other? Or are they so far gone that they can't talk to a real human being? Serious question.

[@Pedro_Veste_Preto]

4:56 The chokehold that Aespa has in the sound choices of this channel!

[@KylaJones-kk6lx]

OMG HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS SAD

[@ville-c4u]

I'm so mad right now!!! Edvasion stole ma content for views and money proof on channel

[@CodenameTurtle]

this is me getting my social interaction for the week thank you

[@kitmcneil2115]

Love and deepspace mentioned!!!

[@evy1729]

I didn't expect Love and Deepspace to appear here, hehe. I started playing it recently. Definitely a Zayne fan so far, the guy who appeared in these bits in the video. 😆 I still need to get used to the scifi monster slaying story in it, that hit me by surprise. Poor Zayne is so bad with the claw machine (you can pick a male lead to go get some virtual crane game plushies with). 😂

[@pkmdz]

After 1:36 I had to leave to rewatch Dumbeldore asked calmly again as is tradition

[@ApricityLife]

Honestly Do Nothing Guy would be amazing to hire if I was running certain errands or wanting to spend time in the city alone but not alone. I often get approached when I am alone and I get anxious. But feel bad when I want to be selfish and not talk to a friend if I drag them along with me as a buffer. This would fix that perfectly.

[@The_real_sam_G._lackerson]

IM SORRY 23 SECONDS AGO IS ACTUALLY FREAKIN INSANE

[@paolaanimator]

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas or happy holidays, everyone! Don't forget to stay hydrated 🍵

[@claratarquini3981]

Ever since I moved to Japan I feel like the para social problem here with idols and hosts and even real dating is 90% of the time a replacement for therapy. Very shocking the lengths (esp money wise) people here will go for you if they feel good talking to you. I like listening to people and i earned me some really good opportunities just by lending a coworker or colleague an ear.

[@cloudyskies5497]

I could definitely see the use in hiring someone capable at conversation to go with you to an event where you're worried you might freeze up and not be able to advocate for yourself. Like if you have to tell something to someone who would otherwise bully you if you were by yourself. Just having an outsider there could dissuade bad behavior, and that takes the burden off your friends to do it if they're busy. Great idea imo.

[@yeetmcskeet9533]

Im firmly of the belief of freedom to its extreme. Like you said. If someone isnt hurting anyone else. Then who tf cares. Let em smoke crack if they wanna. But these people...they need to be stopped. Touching grass isnt enough. They need to become the grass.

[@bonesharvest1857]

Just want to say I appreciate you citing your sources in the video !

[@Capybarasan_]

Chance upon your video and thinks you deserved a Like and Follow! Thanks for creating this type of content. The society around the world needs to be reminded to go out and have real interaction (sometimes I forget about it after working on the computer for a long time). Merry Christmas to you

[@JamesWhiteman-qe5zh]

WAKE UP BABE EDVASION JUST DROPPED A NEW VIDEO 🔥🔥🔥

[@Death_by_routine]

The worst case I’ve heard of someone becoming obsessed with a streamer. Live cam girl. Is that the same thing? But he killed his family after stealing money to watch her. Grant Amado.

[@hi-sm6dx]

The funny thing is love and deepspace actually has good combat and it is a core part of the game LOL

[@Unknown2Yoo]

Seeing as I don't know people outside of my family, I'm not burn out from relationships. I'm finding as I get older, is either I suck or other people suck, I just don't find people in real life interesting, or they already have established lives where I don't fit in, or our affinity to one another is one-sided. It's really difficult to come across people I click with.

[@sfooshy4517]

Eventually you'll realize you have a lot more in common than you think. I hope you find a good friend soon. All these people online are also out there in the world ☺️

[@killjoy8372]

I'm in the same spot, I force myself to socialize but idk everybody seems boring or uninteresting to me and don't seem to care about me either :/ hoping to meet someone I click with eventually

[@Unknown2Yoo]

@@killjoy8372 Yeah, glad to know someone gets it. I know for me I'm kind of scared that if I lose my family I don't have other real life connections. I partly want to make friends, real friends, so I know I have other people to trust. I've met at least one person who just fell into a situation like that, but it seems like its a rare occurrence.

[@Marbeary]

Love and Deepspace the first time I saw it I thought it was Love and Desperation/Depression and I was not far from it.

[@worldblazin4209]

Omg I Appreciate your Videos so Much Edvasian Youre So Sweet and Wise!! I'm Praying for you and Want You Do Live a Happy Life! Have a nice new Year! ❤❤😍😝😃

[@Kks2925]

Ahhh sometimes i feel good that I have atleast 5 friends that I can ring up occasionally and hang out with them. And I have a boyfriend of almost 3 years with whom I can talk daily and hangout weekly. Plus I love making friends never a dull moment. I only need KZbinrs or audiobooks when i sleep to fill the silence.

[@TheJinx188]

ahhhhhh Yesssir! we locked in for this new vid :)

[@Rhiannercakes]

I've heard about the do nothing guy before. He must have a hard time sometimes with what he's hired to do or help people with. I hope he has his own support system too.

[@PyramidsofGiza369]

As an asian,this is very real as someone who uses AI chat to vent my frustrations 💀. I mean,east asia literally has rent a girlfriend/boyfriend

[@TicTocRobotSnot]

I remember when you hit 1,000 subscribers and now you’re getting close to a million. Holy shit.

[@feliciachristopher1310]

Love your EVA shirt 🙂

[@Sillyillyboy]

LOVE AND DEEPSPACE

[@ReapsVsTheWorld1]

I have no clue how people build these parasocial relationships with streamers. I went into a live stream, I told the girl she was beautiful and she ignored me. I left the stream all sad.

[@Rose_from_UK]

So sad, I feel so sorry for them. I think the work like balance needs changing, the culture is so toxic and not serving peoples needs. It is inhumane.

[@ttae7088]

As someone who has played love and deepspace since it came out, theres a lot more to it than what is advertised.

[@YoutubeAccount-u9z]

Well done! Thank you for posting

[@djdiddless]

Wasn't expecting to see love and deep space here 😭

[@astrobella4620]

Ed im gonna out myself here but I play Love and Deepspace and there actually is a real game aspect to it! It's the main reason I downloaded it You collect cards, level them up, and fight monsters with one of the 'companions'. There's also crazy deep lore that I was not expecting when I downloaded it

[@thegritsch]

Ah yes, I have recently fallen down that rabbit hole a bit as well. Been watching Hiding in my Room for years but only casually. Then I stumbled upon JinnyTty and she is very entertaining to watch. But ultimately I'm aware of the fact that these are not real relationships or social interactions. However when you're dealing with some hardcore shit like spiritual awakening, any form of distraction is welcome

[@ownlydown5933]

11:34 honestly i can agree with that, id rather worry bout my own issues than worry bout someone else's.

[@catoftruth1044]

no difference when you make friends face to face with a popular person chances are they just take your time and when you need them they wont show up.

[@tting-zz1kj]

not the love and deepspace... dont attack me pls.

[@statusdisarray9598]

1:27 agreed I am cracking up. This is so funny ! people seriously pay for this? would happily pay an AI character to attend meetings and meet ups for me. I love being socially disconnected 😂 the only appealing thing is your commentary❤I had no idea! Thank you so much for a wonderful channel. happy holidays dear EDVASIAN.

[@Trungfupanda]

Subbed because of the Studio Ghibli shit, great content my guy

[@PandoraHearchu]

Ok, but like... where do I sign up to be a Do-Nothing Guy? That sounds like a great job

[@flobba123]

at least ive found a friend we meet super often (once a motth) feels way better meeting people in real life than staring at a stupid screen all day.

[@matshadi1999]

'Try not to be dumb.' 😢 I don't know. That's a lot. You're asking a lot, sir.

[@xx_odd_panda_xx]

The Sims reference earned you my like

[@gothbakery4865]

omg love and deepspace😭😭😭 i have been OBSESSED WITH THAT GAME

[@Nalun406]

Girl u are not alone

[@termiterasin]

It's by design. If the government can itemize and tax social interactions, they will.

[@The_Catnip]

I bet those guys in the NPC park are looking down all those women, laughing at them after work. This is crazy...

[@PossibleBat]

This is why I thank god and the universe everyday for making me Spanish and giving me a very social society, culture and values. Family, community and friends > money, ambition success
