How melded do you think Vtubers are to their personas?

I'm sure part-time chuubas have a healthy degree of separation between their avatar and their real self, but what about full-time chuubas? The ones who stream for 6-10 hours a day, the ones who are as parasocial towards their chat as their chat is to them? Do they start to see themselves as their avatars, even just temporarily? Does Kiara ever hear her chicken voice for her inner monologue? Does Mori ever accidentally call herself "ya boi" IRL? Does Ame ever dream of being able to time travel to a time when her parents were still alive?

Basically, do you think there are any long-term mental health effects when it comes to V-tubing?
