Everyone steals my quotes!

I suppose imitation is the best form of flattery, but gosh dang it, everyone is turning into me. So, as you may have noticed just by reading my posts, I have an interesting way of forming sentences. I don't have that vast of a vernacular as I would like because I would have to remember how to spell all those words and my wee dyslexic brain doesn't have time for that, but I do know how to use words that no one even things of. I also have a way of just saying quotes or making sounds and people tend to pick them up. Now, I understand how this works because I am a freaking sponge and if I am around someone who says certain phrases enough or even has an accent it tends to pop out. It is very embarassing sometimes. Just the other day I heard my mom talking to my grandma outside and in midsentence she gets distracted by a bird and continues talking. I don't know what more of a situation is me! I do that, I will get distracted by a bird or a bug or something and then continue talking. I said a phrase to my grandma a while back and she used it, I can't remember exactly what it was about but it is just something random I say. My mom says things like "go for it" or "oh man" which I always say! I wish I could think of actual quotes that I have said that people have picked up on the only one I can actually remember is my grandma saying "reason why old people make so many noises is to make sure they are still alive" and I'm like, dang it! I'm the one that made that joke to you, lady! I should just trademark my vocal cords so anything that comes out of them no one can steal. I'm just kidding, I think it is kind of funny how some people pick things up from me just because I am a little ball of nonsense.

You must have a personality that allows you to influence people so. Happily no one repeats my phrases and i can use it again and again.

I'd think of it as a compliment that people think what you say is good enough to repeat

It's flattering that people repeat your quotes. When speaking in my first language, I don't repeat anyone's phrases. But since I'm not a native English speaker I repeat interesting phrases I hear by English speaking people around me. That helped me a lot with my English.

I don't remember having time to imitate what every one says. I think I remember imitating things my siblings use to say.

It has always been that way. The longer we are around other people the more we pick up their way of talking. I still remember a phrase that my best friend in high school used to use and the rest of us picked up.

This is very true, My mom tells me when she hears me watching a certain streamer, she has no idea if it is me or him talking because I have watched him so much that I just soaked everything up haha

myself, i like to say that people copy and steal my catch phrases. start making stuff up, repeat it over a few times see if they say it. may as well entertain yourself while they steal your quotes. remember, "monkey see, monkey do."
