It very much annoyed me. I did not feel like it was a complement. I felt like she was trying to take over my life.

Yes , I have heard this and it was annoying . My friend started to dress like me and wear the same cologne...It even went as far as buying the same kind of shoes . I went to a wedding and so did my friend .. when I turned around after talking to the groom , there was "my friend " dressed in the same color style of clothing. Every thing was the same .... It was not flattering , It was creepy .. I left the wedding . .some time later the same thing happened at a club ......... It was like being stalked ..... I hated this flattery thing ...... There was no stopping the stalker .... we ended up in a heated conversation and that was that ...I think it's bizarre behavior verging on the psychotic.......

Have you ever heard that Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?

No matter how much I tell myself it is a compliment; I still feel ripped off in some indefinable way...as in "Get your own ideas, please?" These are taken. On the other hand, it also means you did or said something that another really liked. Isn't his how trends get started? So I guess it has a place...and I try to keep it in perspective. These are the things I told myself when I discovered I had been plagiarized...but I suppose it is another topic.

I've heard the story, and yeah I guess I would have to agree with it, I've often "borrowed" ideas from friends (depending on what it is I will ask first), and I guess I wanted to do what they did because I liked it, and my friend. If someone ever immitated me, I never knew about it, and frankly wouldn't care anyway, maybe I would be flattered, maybe it would depend on who did it, and whether they gave me credit for the copy? I don't know.

Yes, I had a girl in highschool follow me around and listen to whatever I listened to, she even changed what she ate and how she talked. At first, it was cute, but after a while, it got creepy. Thank God she didn't come back the next semester!

Good at first, then I realized What is good for me is very very wrong for someone else. The sad thing I could not help them be themselves cause I did not know what was right for them
