>>82064975>>82067443The steps for escaping parasociality are similar to falling out of love or escaping the friend zone:
>De-PrioritizeYou don't need to be there for her all the time. Miss a stream here or there. You are but one view. She probably won't notice that you are gone. Busy yourself with something else, if you can. As you act, your thoughts will follow.
>Find flawsThis is an important step if you find that absence makes the heart grow fonder. If she says something you disagree with, don't let it pass. Take note. Challenge the idea within yourself. Each idea of hers you find irreconcilable will widen the gap between you which will allow you to escape.
>DetachLook at how Lumi presents herself. Notice those moments where Kaneko Lumi ends and the woman behind the model expressing herself begins. Categorize these as two separate people and ask yourself if you like both of them.
>Let goYou can hold all these thoughts in your head, but you must come to terms with them as well. While these methods may come across as heartless, they are for your own good. You can still watch Lumi, enjoy her streams and her songs, but once the division happens, you will feel better. You can wish her all the best without pining for her. Try not to relapse.
This does work. I've done it twice. Once with a fleshtuber years ago and again with a vtuber in the past few months. I can now watch the chuuba with no intrusive thoughts about becoming her boyfriend.
The fleshtuber quit a while ago.
