best friend started copying everything I do
My best friend and I haven’t had a single fight for four years. But now she has started copying everything I do! How do I tell her to stop?
Answer:
Copying someone is a form of flattery. This behavior could be signaling that your friend is feeling insecure about herself. Instead of finding her own identity, she is borrowing yours. Talk with her. Perhaps there’s something happening in her life, like a big change. Maybe she’s upset with you about something else and choosing to tell you by bothering you in an indirect, unrelated way. You have a good chance of making the friendship stronger by directly dealing with this difficult issue.
