Stop help: My friend is copying me so much. - Help.com

Say kinda friendly, “girl, you’re looking good. Time for you to get your own personality, don’t copy mine.” Encourage her with flattery, also remind her she don’t need to be too skinny …starting to look sick - something like that

Nobody is copying you. And even if she is - nothing you can do about it unless you would copyrignt your “style” and get a patent on it so only you would use it.

They say immitation is the highest form of compliment. She thinks you’re beautiful and cool and have it all figured out, and she wants that, too. Telling her not to copy you will probably really upset her, no matter how nicely you say it. Maybe you should try giving it some time. She’s just trying out this new image right now. As she gets more confident, she’ll start trusting herself to pick out clothes that don’t look exactly like yours. The problem will probably fix itself.

If I had 2 people who looked the same, wear the same style and listen to the same music then I would think A LOT less of that person who would start ******** about how the other person is copying him.
Stop complaining. You can’t tell other people what to do, what to wear and what to listen. Unless those people are your underaged children.

I think you should be honest with her, don’t play games around so she,ll stop doing it, the best way is to come clean, tell her how you feel and that you dont know who she is anymore because she’s mostly trying to be you. And don’t forget that she wAs over weight before so she probably just looks up to you a lot, let her down easy!

She is your friend, copying is not bad (read about copyleft) however can see how it may compromise your identity.

What you could do is play a game with her, You do a makeover of her (that suits her and is different) I she does a makeover of you.

The situaition you are in is not uncommon, however you need to remember that you are in the priveliged state, and so you need to tread careful.

Having style comes with respnsibility

Consider why you are feeling annoyed. Do you pride yourself in being unique, an individual or a rebel? Your friendship will improve if you focus on communication, honesty and trust. Talk to her about her choices to do similar things. Be honest with her and with yourself on this matter, especially on why you are annoyed.

why even be friends with her? she’s a clingon, watch the movie Single White Female

yes I like to be individual Im not a common person or at least I wasnt untill she copied me and I do know that she loves herself you can tell she always says shes ugly and fat so people will tell her shes not and she just loves that!

Consider this being a time for a self-makeover. Reinvent a new look for you. Maybe this is the challenge you needed to get out of complacency. Maybe you are a trend setter?
