Why does my friend copy me so much?
My best friend is SO annoying, and I know she is my best friend and all, and I really like her, and I know I should take it as flattery, but I just get so aggrovated. My friend copies me ALL the time. Shes trying to impress me, and impress everyone else (you see, I’m ‘popular,’ apparently, :S and she wants to be just like me.. because I admit she is not very popular herself). Me: Omg, I love Titanic so much! Her: I know, its my favourite film ever! (Not having said that once before in her life.)
Me: Omg, I love Michael Jackson so much! Her: I know, I love him too! I love all his songs, he was a genius (obviously taking that word from me. I say it all the time) and I’m buying a t-shirt saying ‘I love MJ’ on it!
It is SOOO annoying, and she follows me all the time, copying what I say, my obsessions, my walk, my talk, my clothes sense. Believe me, I get so annoyed. What can I do?
This sounds harsh but at the moment cutting her out may work. She obviously admires you which is great, but when some people take it to the extreme it usually means that they are obsessed. I had a friend exactly like that, but when people get so determined to be like you, they start to mimic you in other ways. Like stealing your boyfriend for instance or finding new friends that are MORE popular. This eventually makes her end up MORE POPULAR than you rather than JUST as popular. It makes you look like a moron as people think you are copying her. Stop talking to her. Dont go out with her. If she asks why you are behaving like that towards her, be firm and direct. Dont be nice to her about like saying ‘I feel you are coping me… ect’ say ‘You ARE copying me and its really getting on my nerves’ Back up your argument with examples of what she has done as she might go into denile. Let me know how you get on. After all, this is your life and after all you dont want her to turn into you do you? Becuase that what is sounds like! :) x
I think that you just need to understand where she’s coming from. I’m sure it’s annoying like heck, but she’s copying you because she more than likely just has insecurities about who she is. She probably feels like being herself isn’t good enough, thus copying the one person she looks up to - you.
I’m not saying that you should just keep it to yourself, mind you. Maybe just encourage her to do things differently? Talk to her about things she likes and help her to find herself again. Instead of saying something you like, ask her what she thinks about something beforehand. After she has given her opinion, give yours and see if you can make something from it. If you guys go shopping together, encourage her to buy things she used to (if you genuinely think they looked good). Say something like “Do you remember that one shirt you used to wear? I think that looked awesome. This style looks almost exactly like it!” This way she can sway more, I guess, and you won’t hurt her feelings that way.
At the end of the day, remember that even though she copies you a lot, that sometimes she most likely will share a genuine liking of something. So try not to doubt her too much. Be kind, be careful and remember that she is your best friend.
Take care.
you cant and shouldnt I would love to have a me double :P those are pretty normal things I think everyone loves michael jackson plus you tend to use words that other people use around you obviousy if she thinks you have better fashion sense then she is gong to try and use your fashion sense insted
if she was dressing exactly like you and saying exactly what you say and talking like you talk…I could understand…but she isnt rilly talking to you..maybe she actually likes those things…every consider that?
Guess she wants a little more attention from you… Try being with her and talking to her more!
Maybe you could try talking to HER about it… instead of whining on the Internet like some kind of narcissist…
