Keep is an orientation prefix describing the experience of losing all attraction and interest when one is rejected.

One may gain feelings for another at any pace, but as soon as the feelings are rejected, all interest previously felt disappears. One may lose feelings once a small piece of unreciprocated feelings is shown or implied by the other individual(s). The attraction can also disappear if one feels that the other is not reciprocating, regardless of whether that is confirmed true or not by the source of attraction. The lack of reciprocated interest required to lose attraction can be any amount, including small hints or occasional occurrences of disinterest or rejection.

The keep orientation is often caused by trauma, but does not have to be.
