IIRC, Parasocial interaction is not so much about being real time or not, but being one sided or not. Parasocial relationships are those you have with TV, youtube, or twitch stars, and might leave you with feelings like they're you're friend, even though that's illusory. Similar to if you feel closeness to a nice server at a restaurant or a bartender, when they're simply doing their job.
