Recently I've become real lonely because I realized I don't have any truly close friends. While I do have friends, I don't really hang out with them much or have any true connection with them; I just talk to them during school. I watch a bit of online content/entertainment, but not very much, like streamers and youtube, and I've become semi-uncomfortable watching these people, especially if they are lesser known. There's a weird dynamic in online content, especially with streaming, where you know a bunch about the entertainer, but the entertainer knows nothing about you. You can end up feeling a close connection with the entertainer, due to knowing so many of their mannerisms, facts about their personal and daily life, their personal opinions, etc., but they know absolutely nothing about you other than your username. This makes for a sort of "uncanny valley" of communication imo, and it makes me feel weird and uncomfortable. Granted, I still watch these people, but in my current time of loneliness, I just feel weird knowing someone so closely when they know nothing of me. Have any of you experienced this? I feel like this is something I'm not alone on.
