According to researchers at the University of Miami, many people feel strong emotional reactions when loss of well -known personalities who often act like close friends, although they have no personal connection to them. These one -sided relationships arise from media and can cause painful emotions that enable a deeper view of one's own life.

This phenomenon shows how deep stories and public figures can penetrate the emotional life of people, regardless of direct personal contacts.

Thomalla expresses that she always wanted to experience more than just boredom in her relationships. This is reflected in your career, which is characterized by ups and downs and shows how important it is to understand and process your own emotional experiences.
