My best friend keeps copying me!?
This is extremely annoying.I do not take this as a compliment! My best friend copies most the things I do. The most annoying is that on Instagram she will copy every picture I have by making her own version! I talked to her about it and she said it was a coincidence. Its gotten to the point where I feel like blocking her. She asked me where I got all my funny pictures so I told her ifunny. Within the next 5 min she has 5 ifunny pictures uploaded!! She changed her Bio to "Addicted to Ifunny" she just learned about ifunny that day!!! When I told her my crush at school the next day she coincidentally has a crush on him too. I have a certain style that I love! She decides to change up her look to look exactly like mine!! She asked me my favorite youtube users when I told her. The next day she supposedly "loves them" The second time I told her about it she blew up and started yelling at me! I have been wearing my hair in different hairstyles and the next day she is wearing it! Please help
My friend keeps copying my style?
A couple of months ago my friend noticed my style. She compliments my outfits a lot, which is nice, and for me one of the best compliments I can get from anyone would be one about my fashion sense. She started asking me what to wear wherever we go. If she wants to dress up, she asks me what she should wear with what, what jewelry if there should be any, what shoes, what bag, etc. Again this is something I love to do. Eventually, she starts copying my style. I was talking about how much I love tights with big polka dots on them, like these: http://lookbook.nu/files/looks/large/963... she said they "weren't anything special." I've been looking for them everywhere. Well, she just called me to tell me she bought them. I don't understand, is she trying to make me jealous, is she copying my style? Because recently I've noticed how much her style has changed and looks exactly like mine! Also one time she called me to ask me what shoes she should buy..I mean it's great when people come to me with advice for their clothes, but I'm not a stylist and this is getting very annoying ever since I discovered she bought some of the things I bought...thoughts?
How do I deal with a friend that keeps copying me?
Charles Colton did say “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” but since you're asking this question, I'm guessing you're definitely not feeling flattered by it. This is possibly because your friend doesn't have a sense of identity or individuality and the best solution would be to help him/her develop that. If they're not receptive to that, try having a frank conversation with him/her and gently tell them that while you are honored that they appreciate you to the extent of copying you, still you're not comfortable with it or feel like you're losing your own identity.
My friend keeps copying me! Help!?
There's this friend I have that lives in my neighborhood. We are good friends and rarely get into an argument, but the problem is, she keeps copying me! If she copied me once or twice, I would understand, but she's done it so many times that it's bugging me! Ever heard about being original? She keeps doing what I do, it's like having a clone of myself. I just can't take it anymore. Here are some examples. *I posted quite a lot of selfies on this app that is related to Instagram, but only friends and family can see it. She's on my friends' list, so she would see all of the photos I post. My selfies are edited and filtered so that they look better than the original photo. She copies me by doing the exact same thing! *I bought a new outfit that is different from my taste. I tried it on, and I liked it, so I wore it. She saw me wearing it and bought the same outfit in another color, same style. *I made a website to raise money for the Red Cross, and she does the same thing with the same site maker. In fact, she's overdoing it with the sites and keeps deleting one site after another. *I have played the flute for quite a long time. She was planning to play the clarinet, but after seeing me play the flute a little, she changes her mind, goes to the music store, and buys a flute. Ugh! *I wanted to enhance my look just a little, so I buy some products and she does the exact same thing. *I generate quotes for my followers on a social network, and she copies me. -.- *I don't shop a lot, but when I do, I go to my favorite clothing stores. She had her own favorites, but when she heard about me going to my favorites, she copies me and actually purchases a lot of clothing at my most favorite store. Please give me some advice on how to fix this! Thank you! No rude comments.
My best friend is copying me but she deny's it...?
She must really be envious and jealous of you to want to copy everything you do. I am sure it may have been flattering at one part, but isn't anymore. She sounds like she has no self image and so she tries to copy everything someone else does, to make herself feel accepted and liked. She must not have any taste like in clothes if she is always asking for someone else' opinion. I can understand how this would be frustrating because it sounds like she would even brush her teeth the same way you do if she knew how you did it. I also understand how you feel with her denying that she is doing that stuff. It sounds to me like she is so lost and you are the one that found her. I would just come out and tell her that you need some space from her and you would really like it if she found her own way to be and her own things to like and buy. You can say it nicely, but firmly, and tell her it is bothering you so you don't want to not be her friend but she has to do this so she has her own time to find herself. She is going to deny doing it so you might as well not argue with her, you know what the truth is and so does she. She just doesn't want to admit it or doesn't see herself as doing it. Anyways, let her know that after she has found herself and her own style, to call you up and you'll get together and talk. Tell her that YOU are the one who needs the time, which is true, and you hope that she will respect your feelings and give it to you. Hopefully when she has time to think about what you have said to her, she will get it and stop trying to be you. If she doesn't, then I would just quit being around her and talking to her. Good luck and try to keep your cool.
My best friend keeps copying me, it's driving me insane!?
It started last year when I used to see her first thing every morning and she would obsess over what I was wearing. If she liked my shirt she'd like touch it and tell me how much she liked it. That's as far as it went for a while. Then she started buying the exact same items as me. If I was wearing something she'd say she liked it, ask me where I got it, and then she'd show up with the exact same one. When I realized this I just got vague about it or just lie. I still have to do this now. If she asks where something is from I say something like "oh I don't really remember maybe topshop" even though really it wasn't topshop just to get her to stop. But she still will buy similar items. When we go shopping, instead of actually shopping she follows me around and will only buy the things I say that I like. Or like I've been wearing a pair of big square sunglasses and when we were shopping she bought a pair just like it and said oh I've been wanting a pair of these. Then one day we were hanging out and I'd recently changed my room about. When she walked in she was fawning over everything. Later after coming from the bathroom, I walked back toward my room and I saw her rifling through my stuff! which is so creepy.. That's all annoying and it drives me crazy, but now she's taken it too far. She got the exact same haircut as me. No one else in my year at school has their haircut like this length and style which I loved being an individual. But now here is my best friend (we're always together) walking around with the exact same haircut! I feel ridiculous because we look like dorky twins :[ She's my best friend and I don't know what I'd do without her, but I've been avoiding her because it's embarrassing walking around matching her... I feel like now that she's clearly copied me, everyone knows except for her... I don't know how to tell her, but this needs to stop. It feels like she's taken everything from me.. What can I do? (please don't tell me to stop being her friend, I don't have many)
My friend keeps copying me and its really annoying?
I've asked this question like 3 times but i need more answers so im asking it again. :[ So my friend lets call her, Lily. Well she keeps copy everything about me. It started at the end of 7th grade (we're now in 8th). So i made up a list to show you guys everything she does to copy me. - I buy grey skinnies. She buys them after me. - I shop at PacSun and Hot Topic. She changes from Abercrombie to those two stores. - I date this guy when we break up Lily suddenly likes him. - I cut layers into my hair, she Attempts... to cut layers into her hair. - I change my fringe, she Attempts... to change her fringe. - I buy red skinnies, she suddenly buys them. - I date another guy in the summer and we break up (but i still like him) and she goes out with him KNOWING I LIKE HIM ! Which i think is really effed up. - I get new Nike hightops, she buys almost the same pair. - I wear makeup, she tries to wear the makeup the same way. - I use the word Amazinglyawesome over I.M. She uses it in person. And not just that all she talked about last year is how she 'cut' herself. And she drew on cuts with sharpie. Doing that it looked like she was mocking a really good friend of mine who actually cut herself due to problems in her family. And now all she talks about is how 'Hardcore' she is and how she loves Hot Topic and Gir from Invader Zim. Lily also steals my sit at lunch which really annoys me, haha i dont know why it annoys me so much it just does. Oh yeah. I've always kinda wanted to get snakebites and a tattoo of L.o.v.e on my wrist. And now guess who wants to get that ? So what im asking is how the hell do i get her to stop copying. And yes i understand many other people dress like me and have their hair like me, but its strange how i get it and she gets it. So PLEASEEEE help me. Thank You !!!!!!!!!!! xx
My best friend keeps copying my hair and clothes.?
Right, i know i might sound a little over exaggerated and everything but my best friend copy's a lot of my hair, accessories and clothes. She just can't see that it's really annoying me - i like being my own person and hate dressing exactly like someone, especially if we're together. It's like say if theirs 50 headbands the same but different colours etc, she'll pick the same colour i picked.. & before we went shopping for a party and had a fight over a dress because i brought it and she said 'oh actually, im going to get that dress to, just in a different colour' and i really didn't like the idea of that. So i've already tried saying things like 'copying my style are we..' etc.. and its just not working :S. I know everyones like 'take it as a compliment' but i can't stand it anymore.. i'll come to school and next thing we'll have the same bag & hair style.. What i really want to know is 1. How can i stop her? 2. How can i make her realize how annoying and how she wouldn't like it? thank you
How can I nicely tell my friend to stop copying me? She is suddenly getting better grades because she is copying my work secretly.
OMG IM GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING! My friend was an average student and now she’s doing better. Still not as smart as me though. She’s always sitting next to me in class and gets mad when someone else sits with me. The other day she COMPLAINED TO THE TEACHER and said that she works better when she’s next to me. I think she even likes the same guy. She even copies how I act and what I say!!!! HELP! She benefits from me. But all she does is upset me and mess with my mental health AND DRAG ME DOWN. Lol this is no help to you but….idk I just needed to rant!
My friend keeps copying everything I do, should I say something?
Sure. Ask how it is that they copy you instead of acquiring a style of their own? You're flattered and all but come on already. The answer is they lack confidence in themselves,but have confidence in you. Tell them as they're Good enough to be your friend,they should be good enough for anyone else. Just be themselves. They'll find their feet eventually.
