You should try and talk to her. Instead of her friends telling her, the friend that she's copying needs to let her know. Just tell her how everyone kind of has noticed that she follows you around and everything, and you're not like, raging mad, but it can get a little annoying at times. And let her know you're not trying to be harsh or anything, you just feel she needs to know. Some girls just admire one of their friends so much they don't realize how much they might be copying the other. So, also think of it as sort of a flattery too.

But another way to do it in a more nicer way is whenever you guys go shopping or another, lead her to her own individualism. Point out clothes you think would look cute on HER, or colors that look good with HER or hairstyles, makeup, etc. And then hopefully sooner or later, she'll develop her own sense of style and they way she does things, and she won't be all over what you do.


I hope I helped.

It's really annoying when people do that so I can see why you're mad about it. Instead of telling everyone else about it, tell her. She won't stop doing it unless she knows it bothers you. When people do that, they don't even realize it. Sometimes they just want to be like someone that they do everything the same. If you don't talk to her about it, it's going to keep making you mad. She might get a little upset but you know you didn't want to hurt her feelings. You just have to be honest with her.

My dear. Same exact thing happening to me. I suggest that you tell her that you need your own space and life without a shadow following her 24/7. NICELY. And if she doesn't resepect your wishes, ditch.
