You don't need to physically abuse your love interest to be a tsun and you don't need to murder everyone that's close to them in order to be a yan. What matters is how you interact with your love interest and others that are close to you and them.
A harmless shock yandere character may have the same amount of obsessiveness as other yandere types would, though won't do anything violent towards those that also like their love interest, and will leave them alone.
Killing isn't a yandere requirement, and anime tends to overdo that a lot with the yandere trope. And just because a lovesick character never killed anyone, doesn't take away the possibility of them qualifying as a yandere.
Yandere is a portmanteau of two Japanese words. The first is yanderu, which means “to be sick,” and the second is deredere, used here for “lovestruck.” A yandere is often sweet, caring, and innocent before switching into someone who displays an extreme, often violent or psychotic, level of devotion to a love interest.
In stories, it's not very interesting to watch a MC go and befriend people and ask them to leave the love interest alone. Watching them try to get away with murder make people feel many different emotions. So yes, yanderes will exist in real life, but it is very rare they will commit violent acts.
In general, Yandere is a character that is often depicted in a state of paraphilia (sexual perversion), manic depression or co-dependence. The term is generally only used in reference to fiction, and does not hold any actual background in psychatric diagnosis.
Real life yandere: Yuka Takaoka handed prison term for attempted murder. On Thursday, the presiding judge handed Takaoka, 21, the prison term for a crime that he described as “selfish.” He added that she had a “strong intent to kill.”
When pressed, they will even kill the one they love to prevent them from falling in love with another. Obsessives go the other route: they will simply kill everyone else. Yandere are, by and large, psychopaths. They have no sense of empathy for others–up to, and often including, their romantic partners.
Yandere characters have kidnapped, threatened, and otherwise harmed people who try to get in the way of their love interest's goals. Some of them, like Anna Nishikinomiya from Shimoneta, use their powerful influence to do what they think is best for their love interest.
Yuno Gasai from Future Diary might be the poster child for yandere females in anime, but Yukako can be considered the main reason why they even exist.
A yandere may look fairly normal at first glance, but when they become excited, jealous, angry or otherwise provoked, they are liable to have their eyes go blank. They might also have a mask-like face to match, their whole body freezing up as they process their sudden surge of emotions and formulate a plan of attack.
Takaoka gained an online following due to the circumstances of the attack and her physical appearance, being described by the media as the "real life yandere", a term in Japanese anime used to describe a girl who suddenly becomes aggressive, deranged, and homicidal towards a lover.

Clingy: This Yandere type is too emotionally dependent on their Darling. They're emotionally fragile; requiring constant attention and support.
They can carry their emotions and actions to the extreme, but they would rarely hurt or kill the object of the obsession or desire. It's a different news for the other persons involved with their “special person” or significant other. However, one should not push their luck if someone has a yandere love for them.
I would say that fancying this trope in a character is fine as long as you understand that unhealthy fixation, stalking, violence in the name of loving someone, and other common 'yandere' characteristics are not to be romanticized in real life.
They could remain dormant forever, committed as they are to each other's happiness. A pair of mutually possessive yanderes could, of course, be the most loyal of all couples.
Depends on how you wrote her. Some yandere can, some cannot. Some yandere are broken in the head, others have been pushed beyond a point where there's no returning by legal implications alone, but some can be helped or fixed.
In short, the reasons mentioned there are: * The unfaltering devotion of the characters to the one they love. * The out-of-the-norm nature of those characters. So, they may seem more "interesting" to some people and/or make the show more intense.
A stereotypical yandere feels emotions, in fact, she feels too much emotions and isn't in control of them. Picture: Gasai Yuno will do anything for the boy she loves, except not freaking him out.
Often referred to as the "Yandere Queen," Yuno Gasai is probably one of the most popular yanderes of all time. In the death game of Future Diary, contestants have a special diary that they use to help eliminate the competition.
TOKYO (TR) – Last month, Yuka Takaoka, 21, rose to fame online for all the wrong reasons. On May 23, she was arrested for allegedly using a kitchen knife to stab her boyfriend, who is a bar host, inside their fifth-floor residence in Shinjuku Ward. Thereafter, Takaoka became a social media sensation.
Yukako Yamagishi is believed to be the first Yandere character in manga history. Araki basically popularized the trope in the manga.
Crafting a believable serial killer requires more of an explanation than just “she lacks emotions” or “she felt empty and then found someone who made her feel whole”. I think that Yandere-chan's nature can be attributed to the way that she was raised by her parents – specifically, her mother.
