Please, don't copy me.

I'm starting to get annoyed by people who know nothing but to copy the ways of others. Do they have their own sense of being themselves, instead of being someone else? I am sure by being someone else, they make themselves a fool. I don't know if they are inspired or just being insecure. Just be yourself. Make your own branding. Just don't copy the ways of others just to make yourself someone else. As the saying goes, "Don't die a copy of someone else." Has anyone you know copied your ideas, your ways or even how you dress?

Oh, yes!!!!! Not only in real life, but one particular person here on myLot has done that. They have used my words, ideas, my ~~~~~ in photos, my Friday night dinners, my flight app, my walking for exercise, etc. Knowing what a fat, homely, lowlife, oddball, and toxic person that is, we all have a good laugh over it. Others have noticed it, too, so I know I'm not seeing things.

@JustBhem Very well put Bhem. It is very sad that there are those that cannot be themselves and have to copy others. That is very very sad.

Seeing someone especially that someone is your friend. You know that she is not like that then it turned out that she is copying your ways and the worst is your ideas. Is that some kind of disease? And we feel good about yourself when you are yourself, right?

@JustBhem Yes we do feel good about it when we are being are self, and I think some friends do those because they are looking or seeing what's best for them and what kinda style they want to take on.

They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery. People can copy all the time but if you know you are the original or at least the first to try something, it can't be changed. Still, you're right. It can be annoying.

@JustBhem hija you should tell this person;" you're nothing but a second - rate, trying hard.........copycat", then spill her with a glass of 'taho' so that the sweetness will attract ants and later on bite her. Hahaha. Just kidding!

It is said, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". So those who copy others admire them though it reflects lack of originality. I don't recall anyone copying my ways siva
