people that copy

Sounds like that would be best.
My girlfriend had a history of these kinda 'friends' where they get real close real quick, want to share everything with her, and then start getting clingy, weird and bossy.

She may have just really looked up to you, as all these copy-cats in the thread seem to think (=P), but I suspect her behavior would've only gotten worse as the relationship went on.

Feel good, you probably saved yourself a lot of future hassle

 

thank you!!! =D and yes, true friendships are about both people being able to be themselves, and have fun

 

lmao

 

how dare the interloper culturally appropriate your one-of-a-kind talents and style. pssssshhh get over yourself.

 

This would be weird and creepy if these two girls were fully grown, mature adults but they aren't. It says the OP is 18. This is what teenage girls do. My best friend growing up copied me all the time. It was annoying, but never to the point where it made me uncomfortable or I felt like she was trying to steal my social market. Hell, she always had cooler taste in music than me. Half the music I still listen to today I listen to because of her. I think she enjoyed introducing new bands to me. She certainly never accused me of intruding in her girl-with-good-taste-in-music market lol.

All teenage girls go through this. To the OP, take it as a compliment and then fuggetaboutit.

 

I sense a lot of fail here.. what could it be?..

 

lol

 

I think it's also about giving and taking. If you're really fed up with someone of course it's best to let that person go but if it's solely about copying your style it would also be a bit sad to lose a good friend over it right?

There's a difference in what people do for their artistic image on stage (or in the media) and what people in your every day life try to look. I mean if my friends looked like Lady gaga on stage, yes, I would worry as well. To have a problem with an artist's image is generally just your problem

 

just thought i'd add this:
"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to."
— Jim Jarmusch

 

I think we all copy to a certain extent, sometimes out of admiration sometimes out of insecurity.
