Parasocial relationships are absolutely terrifying. It’s so disturbing to be treated like an object & even more so when a stranger tries leaking into parts of my life. Please. PLEASE don’t do this if you’re a fan of someone’s work. Feeling incredibly violated. - ThreadSky

I have to admit, I have no idea what a parasocial relationship is...looking up, hoping I don't regret knowing...Okay I've looked up worse things on the internet. I agree, don't do this to people. Not cool.

100%, I'm so sorry that happened. Some people must have just been raised on a 6th grade school bus or something

michaelschomer5.bsky.social•71 days ago

Not cool that someone would do that to you and I’m so sorry to hear that!

megamatttv.bsky.social•70 days ago

Damn brother, I'm so sorry this is happening to you :( That is SO messed up. Stay strong, and stay safe <3

It sucks that people would take advantage of kindness like this. Sorry you're dealin' with that, man. Hope you're doing alright!

reznorschic.bsky.social•71 days ago

I’m so sorry this is happening!! You are one of the nicest VA’s I’ve met and it’s awful seeing you having to deal with the worst in people :(. Sending you all the positive vibes this stops soon!!

marajunot.bsky.social•71 days ago

Eek. Not cool. So sorry, Ryan.

andrewschroy.bsky.social•70 days ago

I feel your pain, Ryan. To quote Bill Clinton.

docholiday316.bsky.social•71 days ago

I heard about this, and I’m so sorry that it happened to you.

I’m wishing for the best for you.

kittycatgundam81.bsky.social•70 days ago

I hope you're taking precautions to protect you and the people in your life.

rosenthorne.bsky.social•71 days ago

Shit, I’m so sorry that’s happening.

darksidestraxus.bsky.social•71 days ago

I’m so sorry that you had to deal with something like this.

animesavior.bsky.social•71 days ago

As they say, this is why we can't have nice things. Real sorry you have to go through this, Ryan.

colinashworthva.bsky.social•71 days ago

I'm really sorry to hear about this. Just ugh, sounds like a terrifying situation to be in. Hopefully it gets or has been resolved.

erasurebrat420.bsky.social•71 days ago

Omg I'm so sorry you're dealing with that! That's fucked up. ):

jeremyvolkmanva.bsky.social•71 days ago

Sorry that you're having to deal with people like this, man. It sucks that people think this way about a VA or a celebrity just because they play a character they liked, or they seem friendly on social media. Boundaries are there for a reason. Hope you've been doing alright!

kelatonin.bsky.social•71 days ago

I’m so sorry youre having to deal with that, Ryan…that’s terrifying. I hope you and yours are taking care of yourselves in all of this

triciac.bsky.social•69 days ago

Definitely not okay. I hope you can take solace in the fact most fans are not like this. Unfortunately this has happened all too often in the past and is the downside to putting yourself out there. I hope this passes and hopefully doesn't happen again. Stay strong Ryan and thanks for the fun.

girbeagly.bsky.social•71 days ago

So sorry you’re dealing with this, Ryan. People like that need so many reality checks these days.

realdljsuperstar.bsky.social•71 days ago

I’m sorry if this has happened to you. Hopefully, you’ll get better💪🙏

shawnrain.bsky.social•71 days ago

I’m sorry that’s happening to you :(

celezperez.bsky.social•71 days ago

I am so sorry that your boundaries have been violated like this. It’s absolutely unacceptable, and I hope you’re okay ❤️

bdodd.bsky.social•71 days ago

Sorry you’re going through this Ryan 💜💜💜

incubussin.bsky.social•47 days ago

I completely empathize as I have experienced this as well.

theabbeyroadie.bsky.social•70 days ago

Ugh! I’m so, so sorry, Ryan… I still don’t get how people can think it’s okay to cross personal boundaries in any capacity. You don’t deserve to be treated like that, especially to the point of feeling unsafe.

scherh97.bsky.social•71 days ago

I am so sorry that you’ve had this experience. Your space and peace should never be negatively impacted by your fans. It’s not hard, as a human being, to respect boundaries and not cross the line and make someone feel uncomfortable.

theredusagivo.bsky.social•71 days ago

100% this. I would understand naturally becoming friends over time, but forcing yourself in a one-sided relationship because you're a fan with not so good intentions is very uncomfortable for the other party and may cause a lot of issues over time.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with this, bro.

jpepchaos.bsky.social•71 days ago

Oh no, I'm so sorry this happened to you Ryan. No one deserves to be objectified and violated like this.

neosailormars.bsky.social•71 days ago

I’m so sorry this is happening to you Ryan, you absolutely do not deserve this

richardvasoon.bsky.social•71 days ago

So sorry you had to deal with this man. These people need to show you love and respect, which a real fan is supposed to be.

alexweitzman.bsky.social•71 days ago

Oh, jeez! That is unbelievably mortifying. Sending you all the love, dude. My ear is yours anytime you need it. 🫂

nathantheva.bsky.social•71 days ago

I am so sorry, dude. You don't deserve that bull. :(

alvinthegray.bsky.social•71 days ago

A positive modeling of a parasocial relationship: "Great work, Ryan." "It's OK, Ryan, take a break. You'll have it in time." "Oh, really? No, vanilla is always superior to chocolate, it just has manners and doesn't get all loud about it."

That last one may just be me wishing for ice cream.

kaewhatever.bsky.social•70 days ago

I’m so sorry this happened :/
