she keeps copying me !
My friend keeps copying everything I do. Like getting contacts.. my sneakers.. classes. Stupid stuff like that. It just annoys me and I dont want her to get upset over it but it just gets on my nerves. How can I bring it up without hurting her or making it seem like I'm sick of her or something liek that ?

Just break it to her gently and tell her that you just want your own style. Help her pick out some clothes and things for her to wear. The only reason that she is copying you is because she thinks your cool and looks up to you. That's the most important thing.

if you just talk to your friend about how cool something that she does (origionally) then sooner or later she'll catch the hit that she's a great person who doesn't need to follow someone else's trends.

when did she start? if its a recent thing start acting like the way she used to act before she started copiying you. i know it sounds corny but it should work

Oviously she really looks to you as a role model. And I think that's great. She thinks you are, and you probably are, a great person. But If you really don't like it, in a calm voice say, Listen, I'm glad you like to do things I do, but can we take it down a knotch? I'm not mad, just, please stop copying EVERYTHING i do.

This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I don't think she's "copying" you. Your choices simply influenced her own.

*hey sweetie*
I think you should just tell her shes brothering you. Shes your friend so she should understand n just tell her sometimes you need space and you need to do things you want to do and she needs to do what she wants to do. Also that she should be her own self and not always do what you do. But make sure when you do it, say it to her not in a note or email or somthing.Good luck hope I helped!

its prob just a stage and she looks up to yah since yall are good friends soo she just wants to be like yOU! ITll stop sometime- but theres nothing wrong with her copying you its a sign of flattery- sure its annoying but take it as a compliment!

well.. maybe she thinks your like really pretty cool... and she looks up to you, and thats why she copies you?
Or maybe, you should just kinda show her some different styles that you think she might like, ( that way, you wont really have to tell her and u wont hurt her feelings )

Try helping her find her own style. Or like go shopping with her and pick everything she picks just to see how she reacts, if she gets annoyed, then you can be like "now you know how I feel" but if she doesn't just put the shit back and be like "I can't believe you were actually gonna let me buy the exact same stuff as you, thats really fuckin elementry. i ahve my own style and you have yours." either way she will get the point.

i think everyone gets upset when they have something original and their friend gets it... making you feel unoriginal. you need to tell her when you get something new to not get it right away (it may be hard, she may seem a little crushed) .. but she needs to be original herself. go with her shopping and find her some things to make her seem original... but sometimes you just need to tell her to let you have some space with your original items... i think your friend getting contacts is okay, because it's just an eye fixing tool- but things like sneakers you could confront her on. and remember!!- "imitation is the highest form of flattery" =] -ask_anything
