Unstan is a term that refers to a superfan of a famous person who is trying to be less obsessed. The term is the opposite of Stan, which comes from the Eminem song by the same name about a maniacal fan of Eminem.
Unstan is typically used to describe a person but may also be used as a verb for the actions the person is taking in order to become less infatuated. The term is typically used lightheartedly and not to describe actual stalkers trying to be less obsessed.
