You are not ridiculous and yes, the problem is gravely concerning.
I would recommend, instead of saying what people should do, is investigate why this parasocial relationship failure mode exists. Why do people not only end up in a losing proposition, but actively seek it out?

Still, I'm not going to care about who Taylor Swift's new boyfriend is unless she cares about the same for me. I'd rather be depressed and alone. Understandably not everyone is going to be so masochistic about it and will fill that gap however they can.
