My best friend copies EVERYTHING I do ...help?

This girl is not your friend. She sees you as competition.

She copies you cause you seem to have something she wants. People that put their friends, or in your case "frenemy's", down because they aren't secure with themselves. She's insecure and hasn't any idea that's she a total pain in the butt.

Question: After you changed your shirt and went out on St. Valentine's day with her (and hopefully others), did you have a great time? Is she great looking? Does she help pull guys?

You don't actually love this girl to death. You like her sometimes. You're tired of her letting you know that she doesn't see you as an equal.

Why would you want to be her friend? She seems to be using your friendship but not returning it.

You are her friend, but she isn't yours.

When you're someone's friend you shouldn't have to work so hard at liking them.

Don't ever back down to her again. She thrives on it. She knew you bought that shirt and she got one exactly like it to steal your thunder.

Have you thought about addressing this problem with her, as a friend. Impress upon her that it is important to be yourself and find things that you like. She is probably trying the things you like/do because she sees that it is working for you and she doesn't know what she likes. It sounds like she probably needs some guidance/direction. By taking the time to sit down and talk with her you won't feel guilty about it and she will hopefully adhere to your suggestion. If after speaking with her she doesn't change this behavioral problem within a reasonal amount of time (keeping in mind that it is hard to change habits), then you can simply say to her that you would like to be her friend, but you cannot because she doesn't respect your wishes and this is a real problem for you.

I had a friend like that when I was younger. If I bought a new car, he had to. If I bought a nice stereo, he would go get a better one. It went on for years and he never failed to remind me everything he did was better.

I finally got rid of him when I realized he was not a friend. He made himself into my competitor.

A friend does not try to lower or demean you. Friendship is not a race.

A friend is happy when you accomplish something.

A rat has low self esteem and is always competing to be better than you.

Now send your friend the link to this question so she can read the answers.

The bad part isn't that she is copying you. Becuase sometimes copying shows respect. However, in this case she is copying you and insulting you on the thing you had first, She is a very bad friend. Go find better people.

Fist stop hanging out with dat ***** nd if ur not willing to do dat or for some reason u get wit her. Act like its cool like ur whole ro-model bt let ppl know how she copies u nd just be like "But u know I don't give a ****, she's my friend and if she really loves me dat much 2 copy me, okay." Just laugh about ppl r going 2 see she is a ****** copy catter nd u r cool wit dat don't stress over dat. I use to 2 bt u know I recognized she didn't have her own criteria and need mine nd then i felt bad for telling her dat annoyed me. I noticed she didn't have a life nd then I felt bad about not acting my age.

Well you should feel proud she copies you as you must have better tastes then her, just say oh you bought the same as me again, it just goes to show you trust my judgement better than your own and if you want some help to choose just let me know and I'll help you. (bet she won't ask you for help).

Oh my god. What a shallow loser. It still amazes me that the stuck-up, fashion, dating and money obsessed type actually exists. Just say "gtfo of my life biatch!"

tell her you are cutting all your hair off and she will do it first then you can laugh at her,she is jealous of you and money isn't fixing it, be mean to her ,she deserves it and tell her how you feel then either she fix it or get lost

she not a true friend you need to stop hinging out with her.
