Psychological Mimicking: “I have a friend who copies everything I do & it’s driving me crazy” 🚩 This is an unhealthy relationship. This person is not able to be them ‘self’. They may not know what to do socially or it may be more nefarious. Either way it’s a red 🚩#copycat
Naturally, there is context to these situations. If the behaviour makes you feel ‘creepy’, trust your instincts. People who often mimic, copy, repeat your words & phrases, style of dress, hair, are red flags 🚩 This is NOT normal (except teenagers)
In the beginning, they are agreeable, saying they like who you like, listen to whom you listen too & read your book too! It’s like a perfect match made in heaven, until it isn’t. It just feels too good to be true! (relationship, business partnership, job, friendship).
Healthy people have individual healthy identities apart from others. When people copy mimic or imitate you it’s naturally annoying. Put your boundaries in place immediately & see if they respect them. If they don’t, say goodbye. #boundaries #psychology #redflags #dontcopyme
