A woman was born in America, but moved to Italy. After about one year, she met a man who happened to come from the same region in America, who also moved to Italy. The two spent a lot of time together, but their meetings were kept a secret from the woman's overprotective father. Eventually he found out about the two of them and forbade his daughter from seeing or speaking to the man ever again. The man pursued the woman until...
Yandere: fact or fiction?
Sunday, May 24, 2015
Woman A lived in a small town in the middle of America. After being in a romantic relationship with Woman B for around seven years, things began to deteriorate. In 2007, while browsing myspace, Woman A met Woman C and quickly became infatuated with her. Before long, Woman A attempted to impress Woman C by telling her a wide variety of lies, including claiming to not only be a firefighter, but one of the firefighters on duty in...
Handling rejection - a yandere-friendly guide.
Saturday, May 23, 2015
Even as a non-yandere (or "nondere"), I'm sure most people are familiar with how awful it feels to be rejected, not to mention the desire to get over that feeling and move on. I know things can seem hopeless in that situation, as if there's nothing you can do to make yourself feel better, but I'm here to tell you that that doesn't have to be the case. Whether you think of yourself as a fairly normal person, a yandere, or something...
Yandere stories masterpost.
Thursday, May 21, 2015
Looking to read about, watch, or listen to stories with fictional yanderes in them? You've come to the right place.
Note that some of the yandere characters in the following stories stretch the definition of what it means to be a yandere, and may not qualify as a "real yandere" in your opinion. Some of the following stories will also contain content not suitable for children.
(1a) after a link indicates that it's the first story...

A yandere misconception.
Tuesday, May 19, 2015
A month ago today, I saw a particular yandere image for at least the tenth time. Normally I don't mind seeing the same picture so many times, shared by so many different people - the problem was that the message in it was completely wrong, and I'm not a big fan of incorrect information being upheld and repeated as fact. I'd never seen anyone...
Rejecting an obsessive person, part four - addressing more concerns.
Monday, May 18, 2015
Continued from part three.
Since writing these three articles on how to reject or get away from someone who's being too clingy, one question I've been asked is essentially, "How should I reject an obsessive person who keeps saying they want to be more than just friends, but I want to remain friends with them, rather than cut all ties with them?" If you're in this position, don't worry; you have many options available. Whether...
Rejecting an obsessive person, part three - over the internet.
Sunday, May 17, 2015
Continued from part two.
"But I'm not sure I can remove my stalker from my friends list!" is another popular concern. "We have mutual friends; what if they lie to them by telling them that I'm secretly really mean?" Proof usually trumps rumor-mongering. Before removing your stalker, I want you to take screenshots of what they said or did which made you decide to remove them. Copying their text isn't good enough; your stalker...
Rejecting an obsessive person, part two - over the internet.
Friday, May 15, 2015
Continued from part one.
Let's say there's a person who constantly wants access to you, but they don't know you in real life; they only know you over the internet. What should you do then? Fortunately, it's much easier to turn someone away over the internet since, in many cases, it's as simple as clicking a "Block" button. Assuming this stalker only knows you on a single website, deleting them from your friends list is usually...
Rejecting an obsessive person, part one - in real life.

When a yandere - or a significantly clingy, but non-yandere person - takes interest in you, and you're not interested in them, what do you do? Resign yourself to being in a relationship with them, whether you like it or not? Of course not. However, rejecting someone who might ignore the common phrase "no means no" could require a little more finesse than simply telling them that you're not interested. Let's go over some of the...
Yandere origins, part three.
Tuesday, May 12, 2015
Continued from part two.
When a teenager or younger person is introduced to a show that focuses on yanderes or yandere-like characters (such as yangires, or people who are obsessive in general), even if they don't emulate the characters they see, they're still likely to think about these characters, and simply thinking about them can be enough to have an impact on that child's behavior and development. All these age-based factors...
Yandere origins, part two.
Monday, May 11, 2015
Continued from part one.
The most common cause of minors thinking they're unloved likely comes from a lack of apparent fondness in both their home and school lives. When a child spends eight hours a day asleep, eight hours a day in school and the remaining eight hours at home or elsewhere, such as a on a bus or in a car, it's understandable that how people view them at school and at home - the two places where they're liable...
Yandere origins, part one.
Sunday, May 10, 2015
How are yanderes made? Are they born that way, do circumstances mold certain people into becoming yandere, or is it sometimes one and sometimes the other? All you have to do is ask yourself, "How many children do I know who have romantically pursued and obsessed over other children their age since early infancy?" And the answer is clear: it's not biologically ingrained from birth; yanderes gradually become so over time.
But...
Yandere: an overview of the word.
Saturday, May 9, 2015
For those who are unfamiliar with the term "yandere," it refers to people - typically fictional characters - who are mentally ill, and whose illness is distinctly tied to romance. This manifests as obsessive love. While not formally recognized by the DSM-5, many therapists, counselors, psychiatrists, and so on are familiar with and use the terms "obsessive love" and "obsessive lover(s)." Obsessive love, as you may have already...
