My Friend Copies Everything I Do?

Oh my god. I have this SAME exact problem. My friend copies my style, music, hair, EVERYTHING. She even goes through my music on Facebook and likes the things that I like (mostly the music that is not very popular because she wants to seem 'obscure'). She even copied my love for cats and she doesn't even have a cat! I dyed my hair red last month and guess what? Three days later she dyed her hair the same color as mine. I posted a status yesterday saying "Adventure Time marathon. c':" because I love that show, and 20 minutes later, I see that she liked Adventure Time on Facebook. I LOVE video games, especially Pokemon and Zelda, and she copied that from me and she doesn't even like either of them. I don't have many friends and I always joke around saying, "Oh yah i have no friends lol" and she always posts statuses on Facebook saying things like "Facebook is so boring. Maybe it's because i have no friends :B (<--she copied that face from me which she claimed was 'stupid') when she She has so many friends. I am really socially awkward and prefer to be alone and she ALSO claims to be socially awkward even though she's out with a different person EVERY DAY. And she also tries so ******* hard to be 'hipster' which is also annoying. She copies me SO much to the point to where I just don't want to associate with her anymore.

But enough about me. I'm just letting you know that you're not the only one. The best thing to do is just not talk to her. That's what I do because my friend annoys me SO much with her copying. I'm pretty sure that there's no 'nice' way of telling her that she's coping you. You could be a sarcastic asshole and say things like, "Oh... I like that too. Funny, isn't it?". That's something I would do. :B

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.

Do You still want to be friends with her? If you don't want to be friends with her lay it on her thick. And Don't be nice about it. If You do still want to be friends with her tell her you need to talk with her and tell I think You've been copying everything I do and I don't Like It. Ask her to chill out and just do her. And ask her if she's having problems at home of something If she's always at your house.

My friend used to do the EXACT same thing! So one day in school i dressed really different to see if she would copy me and the next day she did. So the next day I was like you didn't change the way you dress until I did so why do you keep copying me? It's easiest to communicate with your friends about problems, and I tried to do it in a way that was obvious so she wouldn't deny it. Just try talking to your friend about it and tell her that its annoying.

Oh gosh, i know how you feel! My friend did this to me.. Sadly i had to deal with it for 2 years. After a while i just said "Please stop copying me.. It seems like you are and i am tired of it" Then she started lying to me about almost every thing. I said "I am done with you i am tired of being nice" We haven't talked for 1 year.. i'm happy about it. You might not be able to be nice to her.. I just got so tired of it i was being rude. But the awkward thing is.. She stares me down and smiles at me in the hallway at school when we aren't out for summer. Its really awkward and she stalks me.. Thank god summer is here though!

Oh, and do you want to know the thing why she copies you? Its because she wants to be you, have what you have, and she is jealous of you!

well, to start off its quite obvious she admires you and considers you as her role model and as for the "self-invitations" the easiest way to deal with that would be to address her straight rather than finding excuses, its unfair to her and true friends are honest with each other.If its too hard for you to talk to her face-to-face, text her, phone her or email her etc. And lastly, the copying thing can get increasingly irritating but its definitely hard to deal with. I would suggest, as i stated previously, addressing her straight. Tell her to lay off a little but i believe it isn't that much of a big deal, besides plagiarismsm, in this situation is a form of flattery.

Ask her why she does this. If u keep ignoring it, ur friendship wud get weaker and weaker coz of the attitude she's got. If she has a good enof reason for all dis tell her aw u feel about it and if possible tell her to stop in the nicest way ever. and also it might be a sign to show aw much she koves ur frienship wif her. goodluck

You know what they say, imitation is the highest form of flattery. Clearly she thinks you are flawless in every way. People usually do this in order for them to cope with their low self-esteem or more often than not, their personal insecurities by trying to "copy" their peers. By doing so, they wouldn't have to go the trouble of trying to figure out what looks best in society so they imitate other people so that from being their self-perceived "lowly" self they suddenly become "in" without the hassle of trial and error.

My friend is like this and what I did, I simply am my own self and I gave less attention to what he was doing. I tried to up my game by being more sociable than I usually am (it's kind of vain but it was necessary) until other people would notice him less and me more (again, I was doing this to make a point) until he realized that by copying me, he is only trying to be me and the world clearly wants me for me and not my "shadow" therefore making it a point that he had to be his own self if he needed attention or friends that bad. He then stopped gradually trying to imitate everything I say or do (or wear...I know, weird) and I am really happy for him that he has become his own self and believe it or not, my friends would hang out with him more now which is fine by me.

I don't think you have to avoid your friend. Usually that ends up with you being who your friend was.

Hope this helps.

My fwends ALWAYS do that to me but Just be honest wid her nd everything will be ok, next tym she does dat tell her that it gets on ur nerves nd ask her to plz stop it... i knew this girl once, she had the best personality ever, bt when this other girl came she started copying everything the new girl did, everyone used to like her nd know they all hate her personality. I told her all about it nd she wasnt angry or sad, she just said thanks nd went baq to being herself. Bt, if u cnt tell ur fwend dat she must stop nd instead u want to avoid her, then i suggest u make up something lyk ur sick, ur on holiday, or i dont know... U have a LIFE lol... Well hpe everything goes fine with u nd ur fwend!! ;)

Tell her to stop copying you and tell her it bothers you. Cause copying someone is really quite annoying.
