DEFINITION ⦂⠀A form of tertiary attraction defined by limerence that draws one to watch the object of attraction whenever they're in the room, in images, etc., with a desire to track knowledge of them. This comes with the worry of scaring away the object of attraction, by being so intense; knowing that one likely needs professional assessment.

Please be aware of the harm that stalking can bring to a victim, and talk through the dynamic this attraction brings on, to reduce harm. Just watching whenever your object of attraction is in the room, or in a photo, are not examples of stalking, so if behaviour surpasses this, via the urge to follow the object of attraction, this is when a conversation must be had.
This is based on the "stalker type" in the "please seek help" category, in the below chart.
Some mental health reasons someone may resonate with this term includes persodivergence; particularly AsPD, AvPD, BPD, cluster C, OCD, attachment issues, or more. This is not an exclusive term, and it is coined in a way to distance from the term "yandere" in the chart, though still keep the idea alive.
