I have this bestfriend that i have been friends since forever, we're both 19 years old and i feel like she tries to out do me in everything.. ill give you a couple of examples.
1- i would always say im poppin', im that bit*h, i like to look good everywhere (she'd never say any of those things) and now shell try to find ANY WAY to say that shes poppin, shes that bit*h, and that she has to look good everywhere (before she didnt care about her appearance all the time).
2- id say something is cute and she'll buy it when i cant.
3- i'd wear an outfit and in a matter of weeks, she'll wear a similar outfit than what i had (but ofcourse it wouldnt look as good, not to sound cocky).
4- she told me wants us to be those friends that wear matching clothes and hairstyles.
but thats just to name of couple of things.. i think she knows shes copying me but shes trying to convince herself and her bf that im copying her because she one day said that i want to be just like her and her bf one day said that she told him that i wanted to be just like her because i dyed my hair blonde, even though i told her a long time ago that i wanted to dye my hair blonde and a few months later she went blonde, before i even had the chance too. I honestly feels like she tries to hard to be me and people are starting to notice because they would say "since when did she start saying stuff like that?" and she'll say "i learned from the best" like why cant she be her own person?
Additional info, added Friday February 5 2016, 12:38 pm: I Told her i didnt want to buy the same clothes and have matching hairstyles with her and her response was "dare to be different" like if i was suppose to do the same exact things she does? lol..

Its hard but try not to let these things affect you too much.
You know who you are and obviously she is still trying to figure that out.
There are so many other things you can talk about and there is no need to constantly discuss what you are wearing.
If she wants to copy so be it. yes its annoying but i think if you ignore it she will realize how ridiculous it is.
