Jim Carrey and I have been part of something special for a while and this special something just happens to be a parasocial relationship. I "know" him so well that for the rest of this blog, I am going to refer to him on a first-name basis. A parasocial relationship is defined as a one-sided relationship where one party knows a great deal about the other party, but the other does not. This develops from the establishment of a bond of intimacy.
I have always felt like Jim and I have been friends but we are just never able to talk or see each other in person. Realism and privacy are two factors that contribute to a bond of intimacy and they have made me feel like I'm in his movies playing his role with him. Watching his movies throughout the years, I have been able to see how clever, goofy, and comical he really is. I am not saying that I am the next Jim Carrey but he and I have a similar sense of humor and we like to make people laugh. Many may think that Jim's roles are far-fetched or over the top, which they may be in some movies, but they have never failed to make me laugh. I can see Jim being just as goofy when he's not in front of the camera and that it why he is my brother from another mother. I have never let the difference in age prevent our friendship from happening and I know that he lives a normal life like myself, except for the fact that he happens to make more money and is more famous. He is my friend in any movie he plays because of his outrageously funny scenes and even if he does something terrible to someone, he makes up for it by making jokes or being sarcastic. Jim and I are best buds and I feel like nothing can come between us. What I'm doing on one side of the country, he is doing the exact same thing on the other side, which is making people smile.
