When a Friend Copies You

Question:

My best friend is always coping me and I don’t know what to do. It happens with the clothes I wear, our photos, and on facebook. I don’t want to hurt her feelings but it has been bothering me lately. Sometimes I might take it as a compliment, but overall it just gets on my nerves. Hope you can help(:

Phyllis replied:

Definitely take it as a compliment, but I can see how annoying it can be. It simply shows that your friend lacks confidence in herself, but has lots of confidence in your decisions. Tell her you’re interested in her ideas, and compliment her when she wears something cool or says something funny. Help her build up her confidence. Surprise her sometime and copy her.
