This is why I always never believed that imitation is the highest form of flattery. To me, imitation is disrespectful and creepy. If you catch anyone copying you in every single way, get far away from them. Protect yourself and your peace of mind.
Same! I hate when ppl say " you should be flattered!" No! I like myself and I like being authentic. I DONT want anyone to copy me. BE YOU!!!! i be had some ppl copy my whole persona! so much so ppl thought i wascopying her!!!! I don't mind with some things But now I'm like FUCK NO!!!
that saying isn’t said in full. like how blood is thicker than water is really the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. full quote is imitation is the highest form of flattery that mediocrity can give to greatness 😂
@@NatzTalk THANK YOU!!! I find it extremely disrespectful when people say that. Why in the world should we be flattered by people who copy everything because they have no sense of self, identity, and integrity? As you said, BE YOU. DON’T COPY ANYONE.
Yes it IS VERY CREEPY! And I agree that it is also disrespectful when the person who is copying you KNOWS that you don't like it but they do it anyway, and on top of that, they try to one-up you with your own unique style! Copycats are obsessed weirdos! 🧐🧐🧐🤨
I’ll never condone that copying nature anymore. They will try to trivialize who you are and when they can’t capture your essence, they will get real disrespectful with you.
Sadly I let go of a friend because she tried to copy my business idea. It was interesting to me which ppl were telling me that I was wrong to not give her all my knowledge and even suggested I share my business with her - I keep these people at arms length too, they obviously don’t want the best for me. And the ones that supported me in protecting my own business idea, I keep them close always. Sometimes these things happen just so you can get clarity of who is around you and what they think of you.
There are people who literally have no sense of self so they are always LITERALLY trying to be someone else!🤦🤦🤦🥴 I absolutely HATE copycats! Their behavior is very disturbing and very annoying! There is a difference in someone being inspired by you than it is someone WHO WANTS TO BE YOU!🤨
At 22 I started my half sleeve and had straight black hair. I had more of a goth style at that time. I met this girl who was preppy and became friends with her. 4 months later she colored her hair black and started her half sleeve. She switched up her style completely. I didn’t mind I just thought she really liked me. Then my other friend warned me of the girl. She didn’t trust her at all. So I slowly started pulling away from her. When I broke up with my ex who was really abusive( the girl actually saw him punch me and drag me down the stairs) she became friends with him and didn’t tell me. I cut that friendship off quick after that. She contacted me a couple years ago almost 10 years later and I completely ignored her.I’m a happily married woman and we have 3 children. I want none of that nonsense lol people can be WEIRD
My SIL is like this - we moved out of state and have no social media with our real names. She also is obsessed with my daughters. She is scary. Copies everything. People thought I was crazy until she blocked me and my family then would post copycat pictures. Disturbing.
I call these women after this movie..."Single White Female" syndrome. It can be all races with this syndrome. It was happening to a good friend of mind. I called it out really quickly. At first she was loke..no....then down the line she had to cut her off. After she started sleeping with all her exes.
I call it single white female ! Have had two girls jealous and copy everything. Girl went and got all the same piercings i have & dyed her hair the same color❤ even painted her room purple and black like mine😅
Yes Jodi I love this topic. I used to have a friend at work who I use to share my ideas with and one day we had a meeting and of course she shared my idea with management in that meeting and took full credit for it. I couldn’t believe it. It was that day I realized she wanted everything I have, I used to think it’s cute…but now I understand. I would even go as far as to help her in areas she lacked and she never once acknowledged that.
I experienced this as well and only took notice when the cleaning lady alerted me that the particular colleague was always at my desk going through my desk and drawers whenever I was not around.
We all copy something we see, but it helps to add your own flair to make it yours. I recently broke up with a copy cat boyfriend. Has anyone else (male or female) experienced a copy cat relationship partner? He copied my feminine habits from the way I said certan words to hand movements. He also would copy what I ate and drank (had to have those things even if he just had his own big meal), when I had a black and mild, having over time at work, pretending to have phone calls because I was on the phone and said most of what I was saying, and told me he looked up to me. It was very strange because if I said I was moving towards something better in my business or profession, he would get really quiet and not speak for a while (strange from a constant talker). So he was a hater and a copy cat. The man child is gone, but its shocking that it happened 90% of the time, while talking down about the things he wasnt successful at copying and telling me I should do things "some people" ( his ex wife) did instead. SMH.
I have a “friend”… I went to Colombia, she went to Colombia, I went to the park to bike ride, she went to the park to bike ride, I started running she started running , etc etc lol It’s a bit weird honestly … I’m watching her with a side eye.
Baby all these story times have been triggering my trauma...I swear I got some of the craziest stories about people who talked about and laughed at my style then copied it
My brothers bm did this to me since we were literally kids. ( talk, walk , style , school, car, favorite color, I have a kid , she has a kid etc) (She only got with my brother to see what I’m doing tbh. ) Copied my entire LIFE . Lied on. Me & stole from me . Almost had to get a restraining order! People like that are unhinged & don’t have a personality & they come off as overly nice but be pure evil . LUNATIC FR!
There was a time an old bestfriend and I witnessed someone fighting outside her house. It was funny asf but we both witnessed different parts of the fight. When I told her what I saw it made her laugh hard asf!!! When someone came up and asked us what happened, yall.. why she go tell the story how I told it to her BAR FOR BAR..like it was her experience. 🥴 At the time I was like “oh well how I told the story was a better description of it anyways” but at the same time gave her this look like wtf.. she really just wanted other people to think she was funny like me
Like how some female groups copy black women mannerisms, hair styles (hair color isnt a style), fashion, the way we talk, and they even want black children. Yeah but yal not ready for that conversation, still crazy how baby hairs is being sold in stores and now everyone wants to wear em. I also hear the LaTiNAs wore em too!!! Really? Because I dont remember that while in school with them in Houston 🤔
Girl wtf why u hate Latinas! Duh Latinas had baby hairs that's not a black girl thing....Selena rocked them so did a lot of chicanas back in the day with their big ass hair n bangs.....you didn't see that in Houston my ass....your straight racist.
A quote i heard from TroyceTv "Being Nice is wearing a mask 🎭 fake and phoney but being KIND is sharing your beautiful energy being humble." The other person is the humble and kind, Just be careful y'all. 🙏🏽💜
I had a friend who literally said her new guy looked like my ex. Really! Then blamed me for trying to mess with him when he said “you’re cool, call anytime.” Not doing that. I totally ignored that. Then my ‘friend’ beefed out with me bc of that and cancelled coming to my 21st birthday plan in college. I had fun with other friends, but she was my ace at the time. You were in your feelings bc you thought you had a man that was similar to my ex and said it!!!! I just wanted us to be friends! Ain’t thinking about him at all. 30 years ago. But that’s what jealousy copying looks like.
Not only did I have an ex friend like this but my ex at the time was the same way… it was soooo annoying 🙄 He would criticize my theory’s and concepts or restaurants I frequented and then call me days later on the phone w/ another friend asking where the restaurant was located or what I quoted about some idea That’s when I found out about that your heterosexual partner could be jealous too It was a very exhausting time in my life
This brings back a funny memory of the first fight I had. I befriended the new girl in 8th grade, and she began copying my catch phrases, gestures, my school projects, and the way I dressed. When I found out she went to my little 'boyfriend's' house and asked for his number, I was through and stopped speaking to her, which made her start trash talking about me to classmates. I then beat the breaks off of her after school, lol. 😆 I've dealt with copycats and secretly jealous friends throughout my life and I wouldn't take it serious at times but I've learned it's something that shouldn't be ignored because copycats are jealous people pretending to love you but secretly waiting, enjoying and even plotting for bad things to happen to you. They won't be around when you're doing well or being celebrated but will be "checking on you" for hour updates whenever you're going through bad times. It can feel isolating at times to "have it going on," but unfortunately, the only way not to attract haters is to not have success, talent, or likeability.
I had this happen to me in the workplace. This girl copied everything I did. She would post the same thing I post. I thought she was simply inspired until I realized she actually hated me. She would constantly start fights for no reason, and when I would tell her I don’t argue with people who are my friends, she would say I think I’m better than everyone. I had to cut her off, it was creepy. I only want friends with their own autonomy going forward
I had a friend that would copy me on everything down to the bag and trifold and brand. One day I got surgery and knew she wouldn’t match it cuz her bf had already said he wouldn’t pay for hers until after she was 40😂😂😂😂 so she gave me attitude while I was in healing from surgery and I cut her off. Fast forward to 3/4 years later and her cousin told me she ended us getting surgery on her breasts 😂😂😂😂😂 I went and changed my bag and trifold. And I now make sure I get mine from outlets that don’t sell in my town. So I go all the way to Orlando to get a one of a kind bag or trifold. We don’t talk no more but I know she watches my social😂
I buy stuff just to see them , spend their dam money 😂,I order stuff just to see if they are going to order them something 😂😂,I love when they jealous 😂😂😂
Oh wow! I had a friend like this. She copied how i dressed, acted, always in competition with me for blokes and slept with everyone i liked. I have literally just realised this. I just thought she was better than me for getting all the blokes. Im prochoice but this lass used it like contraception 😅
I experienced this. This woman constantly copied me but she has a mix of obsession and disgust whenever she would compliment me. Anyway long story short I started feeling so creeped out by her eye rolls whenever she saw me at work and her frustration when she complimented me getting into a bad mood. It was extremely creepy.
What’s sick, is I’ve had people name their kids after mine. Two different women. I learned that I was being studied. Wow! I find my neighbors wearing the same things I wear! I back in when I park, now the whole block does it! I see the kids wearing the cute tiny backpacks, I have bought my daughter these tiny back packs for years! You guessed it now the other kids her age have one! My hair styles, the men I choose! They’re always people who are learning and lurking. I swear I’m uncomfortable, but I guess it’s normal. Getcho own personality. Find your own baby names! Shyt! 😢
1:08 in highschool I decided I wanted to grow my natural nails and focus on keeping them healthy and wanted to paint them more often as well so the first day I walked in w painted nails my friend at the time said "Girl you did not-" and was pointing at them and laughed at the fact that I painted my nails (so bizarre in general I was SO confused lol) the next day she came in w hers painted too..
Look how mi Dey ya ready fi copy Jodi🤦♀️😊, This the Antoinette your island girl from the 876 and I aspire to inspire . Any way a lot of people are secretly copying people especially when they come to your house and see the set up, they will and set their house the same way, they start asking you where and where you bought this or that. Love your channel Jodi.🙌🏼
If my friend uses my style for inspiration, I'm fine with it as long as they do it their way. I would have a problem if she was trying to be my carbon copy though.
my brother is this guy its SOOO WEIRD gets a new "friend" his whole life changes over the next few weeks.... Now he hunter last year was into woodworking before that a ninja at the damn dojo wearing ninja shoes in public 😂😂😂
Had this one friend. I dyed my hair red ... and then she dyed her hair red. Even though she was already ginger headed 😂😂😂 I asked her why, cause her natural color was so much more beautiful. The dye looked so bad, rip. And then she tried to get with the guy that I was talking to. He rejected her, and that's when I broke off our friendship 😬
I have a jist for you all, please don’t feel sorry for me laugh along 😊😊. I had a friend in school that ALWAYS did what I did, befriended my friends, had a crush on the same boys, lined her lips the same way, and worked in the company I badly wanted to during our internship(fun fact I wasn’t aware till she needed my help with something that’s when I was aware we were in the same city, she doesn’t reside in my city btw). So the sad part is I got held back a year, so I’m not graduating with my set, graduation is tomorrow (11/10/2024), brethren!!! Do you know this girl literary asked me ‘Hey **** can you send me styles of dresses that YOU WOULD HAVE WORN for graduation’!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I honestly didn’t know if I should take it as her being shady or not but after being stunned I started laughing 😂 😂. Because, on your dayyy you want to be ME!!! No no noooooooooooo!!
Wanting the same pair of shoes is no big deal if it’s a one time thing. Friends can have similar tastes and are inspired by each other and especially if it’s something trendy that everyone is liking. I would ask a friend first if it bothered her before I copied something and sometimes you can just get a different color. If it happened more than once in a blue moon or was a constant issue across hobbies, style, etc. then that would be a red flag and something else is going on. Like, don’t be a Hailey B.
Tbh that suing stuff could’ve went two ways. She could’ve did it and cut her some money, or do it period and kept the money. Either way you getting dinged for that accident. Her suing “you” is coming out the insurance you pay monthly with no damn accidents for years. There is a cap before you would have to come out your pocket directly, and that’s usually over $20,000-$30,000. It’s not that serious although it may feel like it. Business don’t mix with pleasure… and that’s that on that 🤷🏾♀️
Yeah I was lost when she was surprised that the friend could sue her. If that was their only car then I don’t see the problem. If the car was totaled she would be paying for the damages. Throwing in that yall got cool years later but she was “bipolar” was an unnecessary jab to deflect on how it went downhill. Also missed the examples of copying lmao😂
I have a person who wants to dress like me try to decorate her house like me I went to pick out some furniture and told the sales tax I will be back tomorrow to take care of it she went back later and actually grabbed the furniture set and call me to brag about it anything that I wear she thinks she's supposed to have the same because my husband treats him good and bothering me nice things she yells at her boyfriend because she wants him to do the same thing with my husband does for me which makes no sense and the worst part is this woman is way older
I got this one. My former bff lived in another state came to visit came to visit went home traded in her car to get one just like mine. I let my ex bf move in I had been with him for years she moved in man of the moment lest then a year. She stopped talking to me because I decided to leave my sorority. My granny told me years ago to watch that one.
mannn the one thing i hate say for me i dance and sing and then my friend goes online and goes, oh this for all the females who can't dance or sing.... like out of all things whhy dance and sing right when i upload a video of me dancing or singing i just feel like since they can't do it they'll also try to downplay what it is you can do as well. that's also a form of jealousy and copying you
Had a friend that copied me, bought clothes like mine, always trying to say we’re twins. After I distanced myself from her she sent me an essay(yes real essay format and all) about how I think I’m so hot and all that 😂 okay girl
No. This is called Destiny swapping. It is EXTREMELY serious, and it is NO form of flattery AT ALL. The person has to have access to you & your life to attempt the swap & it is spiritual. The one copying is usually a witch, warlocks or involved in witchcraft. See, people don't understand things on a spiritual level, so they have no idea what's going on. You have to fight it spiritually. Immediately cut off access to the person copying you, I don't care how long y'all been friends, or if their family. They are trying to destroy you & steal your star & destiny swap. Look up & research destiny swapping. It happens to a lot of people.
This is happening with my sister and her boyfriend's sister She mentioned lps once and now his sister keeps buying them when she has never showed any interest in them whatsoever She has done a lot more I just can't remember specifics but its the same story everytime my sister mentions or does something once and his sister suddenly has an extreme interest in whatever it was I feel bad bc at first it just seemed like she looked up to my sister since she was her older brothers girlfriend but it's becoming obvious it is not inspiration at this point
So my friend and I have been going shopping together a lot lately. My dog recently passed away and it’s made me very depressed so I’ve been trying to fill the void in my heart with things.. It’s not working out very well and taking a financial toll… I digress…anyways and it’s kind of crazy because every time I pick something out, she wants to buy the same exact thing and it is getting kind of annoying especially when I know, she talks badly about me to everybody we know in common. Thankfully, we’ve stopped speaking because on New Year’s she kept on wanting me to pay for her to get into clubs and when I said no, she called me an abuser….. good riddance
Firstly I’m so sorry about the loss of your Dog…hugs to you babe 🫂. I had to recently give up my cat because of my living situation so I can only imagine what you’re going through. Now, regarding that ‘Friend’ you left her exactly where she should be…in 2024! Sometimes we have shed the baggage in order to receive our blessings ❤️
Omg girl in the dark pink robe and headband… get to the damn point already geezus it’s just rambling on with constant tangents and crap that has nothing to do with the story. I don’t even remember what the hell she was talking about and didn’t even get to her finishing before I stopped the video
i used to have a friend like this...i don't think it's flattery it's creepy creepy creepy..she copied my style,my interests,my words,my hobbies,everywhere i wanted to go she went there first!!!!she posted mine posts on her facebook as hers!!! she even get married to the island that i wanted to go the same day that i had my name celebration...stay away...
I haven't really been "copied" but all of a sudden, all of these females at work are now trying to lose weight after they saw I lost a lot of weight and people at work talking about me. Always asking what I did and if I go to a certain gym. Smdh Why do you want to lose weight only after you saw me and some men at work given me compliments. Mind you, one woman is married with a kid... She had the audacity to say I shouldn't lose anymore weight because men like cornbread fed women. Then, in the same breath, ask me how I lost it...🙄😒
That’s how it was at my job, I bought fruit and start bringing it in …. I haven’t seen no one eat fruit…. All of a sudden they buying fruit & eating it on the job … I came to work and seen 10 people eating mangos after I bought some…. Worked with these people for 3 months and never seen them eat fruit…. Not judging I was just shocked to see everyone eating mangos when I come to work…. The same exact brand 2…. To the point that the shelves wouldn’t be stocked at the store by our job….. they was eating chips & ordering now all a sudden everyone by the same fruit……weird asf
Yh unfortunately this what happens when you are doing good in life. Only identity souless narcissists copy others and don't give credit. I had this crazy neighbour stalk me and steal all my outfits and put them on herself I hope one day ppl see she is mad and need self love. I have had many females copy me. Move in silence.
Anyone in here catch their parents doing this to them??? My mom would mean mug and side eye me all the time. She wasn’t fwm at allll, but she be observing tf outta me. I saw messages in her phone where she was going around telling her friends that she drinks tea everyday and enjoys her baths, etc. when IM the one actually doing these things everyday…she don’t be in the tub or drink water fr let alone HOT water. 🥴🥴🥴
Yes. It's not exactly like yours but I have some similarities. If you're in a place to receive some sound advice: (in short) you're blessed and she's knows it. She's trying to do a destiny swap. Continue to develop your self identity. Honesty will help you with everything, like self-awareness, a healthy ego, discernment, etc. Connect with your higher power (if you believe in one), your higher self, the Earth, your ancestors, & etc. I wish I wouldve known this when I was younger. It wouldve helped me process things better.
@@iseeyoushay thanks for the advice. I wasn’t aware of what destiny swaps were when this happened but I’m glad I am now and have decided to separate myself from her and work on myself in private honey. Never thought we’d be here but thank god I’m aware of it so it don’t go on any logner
I have genuine question my copycat friend and I live together what should I do to ignore her ‘attacks’ I just had an esthetic surgery and she acts so creepy she always talks about my surgery I mean it’s creepy it is beyond jealousy and I can’t move out rn please give me some advice
Had a friend once that copied everything about me. I started to notice id tell this "friend" about some of the things Ive done in life. Always a week later they would just repeat back what was said as if it happened to them. Never gave credit for any ideas as they thought of it 1st and i was copying them. It was a constant competition,style was copied,hobbies copied,,mannerisms copied even the way I speak ffs. Id laugh if it wasnt so damn creepy. GET YOUR OWN IDENTITY £ LIFE,YOU WEIRDO
The first time no I wouldn't be mad at her especially bc we like the same thing. Now if we are going to the store and and find something we both like....no still would not be mad bc we like the same things and we cute or whateva....NOW if it's behind my back type thing and she starts mimicking my mannerisms etc that would be weird. Wouldn't be mad but I would be distancing myself for a while
Umm everyone is a copier in someway!! How do you think trends, slangs, hairstyles, makeup styles, etc start….. by copying someone and then it spreads!! In fact most media influencers started out by copying or getting someone’s ideals or there wouldn’t be different groups like storytelling, makeup and hair, pranks, food makers and the biggest one trends and challenges. I have seen thousands of people do the same dance to the same songs thousands of times and eat the same food someone started on TikTok. So yeah everyone copies!!
Honestly, I fuck with the girl that humbled herself. I understand that people copying can be frustrating but that should be an expectation when you get on the internet. I used to get irritated back in the Facebook meme era when people would steal my stuff, just to block me when I asked them about it. I eventually learned people copy others because they see you get results, and even if not through you you're still able to inspire and humor people indirectly.
I see so many women on here talking about how other people copy them. Yet they are all copying the same trend of doing their make up while they tell a story on Tiktok. They lack originality as well. "The pot calling the kettle black"
That's different. GRWM videos are not a problem. Most women wear makeup. People were doing it on TH-cam before it was popping on Tiktok. Aaliyah Jay and others sent the trend years ago. It's not an anamoly just because you now see it on Tiktok. Copying someone's stories, verbal inflections, narrative, fits, ideas is a whole different thing. You sound like you are missing the point. 😂
@@Poeticfloetic You can try to excuse the obvious copy cat cattiness. But I see through the Bullshi.. Catty bish's online always complaining while also being EXACTLY what they bish about. GTFOH

That’s so creepy! She has NO real personality of her own. Npc for sure.😮
My brothers bm did this to me since we were literally kids. ( talk, walk , style , school, car, favorite color, I have a kid , she has a kid etc) (She only got with my brother to see what I’m doing tbh. )
Copied my entire LIFE . Lied on. Me & stole from me . Almost had to get a restraining order! People like that are unhinged & don’t have a personality & they come off as overly nice but be pure evil .
LUNATIC FR!
There was a time an old bestfriend and I witnessed someone fighting outside her house. It was funny asf but we both witnessed different parts of the fight. When I told her what I saw it made her laugh hard asf!!! When someone came up and asked us what happened, yall.. why she go tell the story how I told it to her BAR FOR BAR..like it was her experience. 🥴 At the time I was like “oh well how I told the story was a better description of it anyways” but at the same time gave her this look like wtf.. she really just wanted other people to think she was funny like me
Like how some female groups copy black women mannerisms, hair styles (hair color isnt a style), fashion, the way we talk, and they even want black children. Yeah but yal not ready for that conversation, still crazy how baby hairs is being sold in stores and now everyone wants to wear em. I also hear the LaTiNAs wore em too!!! Really? Because I dont remember that while in school with them in Houston 🤔
I had to tell my mom about white girls “sticky bangs” 😂 you mean laying edges pooh??
Well said…
Exactly... 👌🏿💅🏿🥴
Make your own video then. This is literal stalking.
Girl wtf why u hate Latinas! Duh Latinas had baby hairs that's not a black girl thing....Selena rocked them so did a lot of chicanas back in the day with their big ass hair n bangs.....you didn't see that in Houston my ass....your straight racist.
A quote i heard from TroyceTv "Being Nice is wearing a mask 🎭 fake and phoney but being KIND is sharing your beautiful energy being humble." The other person is the humble and kind, Just be careful y'all. 🙏🏽💜
Heavy on this! I love Troyce so much. We had dinner when he was in Jamaica 😆
I find myself saying “Being nice and being kind are two different things.” more than ever.
@@ghostsnailllThis is so true
This!!
Copy and paste friends
Literally 😣
Friends and family have done this to me and every time I called it out I was painted as the weird one for not being flattered by it…
SMH. You're absolutely not the weird one for not being flattered by them constantly copying you. They are nothing but shameful, low-life creeps.
Had to end a 10+ year friendship after finally accepting the truth. A sad but sobering moment.
I had a friend who literally said her new guy looked like my ex. Really! Then blamed me for trying to mess with him when he said “you’re cool, call anytime.” Not doing that. I totally ignored that. Then my ‘friend’ beefed out with me bc of that and cancelled coming to my 21st birthday plan in college. I had fun with other friends, but she was my ace at the time. You were in your feelings bc you thought you had a man that was similar to my ex and said it!!!! I just wanted us to be friends! Ain’t thinking about him at all. 30 years ago. But that’s what jealousy copying looks like.
Not only did I have an ex friend like this but my ex at the time was the same way… it was soooo annoying 🙄
He would criticize my theory’s and concepts or restaurants I frequented and then call me days later on the phone w/ another friend asking where the restaurant was located or what I quoted about some idea
That’s when I found out about that your heterosexual partner could be jealous too
It was a very exhausting time in my life
Hello beautiful, you are hitting the spot for me with THIS ONE😅
Hope you enjoy 🤗
Micheal Jackson was the epitome of being copied...never duplicated
This brings back a funny memory of the first fight I had. I befriended the new girl in 8th grade, and she began copying my catch phrases, gestures, my school projects, and the way I dressed. When I found out she went to my little 'boyfriend's' house and asked for his number, I was through and stopped speaking to her, which made her start trash talking about me to classmates. I then beat the breaks off of her after school, lol. 😆 I've dealt with copycats and secretly jealous friends throughout my life and I wouldn't take it serious at times but I've learned it's something that shouldn't be ignored because copycats are jealous people pretending to love you but secretly waiting, enjoying and even plotting for bad things to happen to you. They won't be around when you're doing well or being celebrated but will be "checking on you" for hour updates whenever you're going through bad times. It can feel isolating at times to "have it going on," but unfortunately, the only way not to attract haters is to not have success, talent, or likeability.
I had this happen to me in the workplace. This girl copied everything I did. She would post the same thing I post. I thought she was simply inspired until I realized she actually hated me. She would constantly start fights for no reason, and when I would tell her I don’t argue with people who are my friends, she would say I think I’m better than everyone. I had to cut her off, it was creepy. I only want friends with their own autonomy going forward
You are glowing Jodi! So beautiful 😍
Only weirdos do this type of stuff
If you choose to have a friend that’s diagnosed as bipolar, you can’t complain when they switch up. That’s who they are and you knew that.
Honestly thanks for this compilation
I did a vid yrs ago on here called when you friend hates you.
I think women are notorious for doing this silly behavior.
And it’s weird and unnecessary asl.
@@charm_done980 it really is
@@charm_done980 it is
I had a friend that would copy me on everything down to the bag and trifold and brand. One day I got surgery and knew she wouldn’t match it cuz her bf had already said he wouldn’t pay for hers until after she was 40😂😂😂😂 so she gave me attitude while I was in healing from surgery and I cut her off. Fast forward to 3/4 years later and her cousin told me she ended us getting surgery on her breasts 😂😂😂😂😂 I went and changed my bag and trifold. And I now make sure I get mine from outlets that don’t sell in my town. So I go all the way to Orlando to get a one of a kind bag or trifold. We don’t talk no more but I know she watches my social😂
I buy stuff just to see them , spend their dam money 😂,I order stuff just to see if they are going to order them something 😂😂,I love when they jealous 😂😂😂
I call it "single yt female syndrome"
I didn't have a word for it but i saw the movie when i was lil
I got so much to say 😭😭😭
4:57 that red lipstick on her is so gorgeous!!!!
Oh wow! I had a friend like this. She copied how i dressed, acted, always in competition with me for blokes and slept with everyone i liked. I have literally just realised this. I just thought she was better than me for getting all the blokes. Im prochoice but this lass used it like contraception 😅
I experienced this. This woman constantly copied me but she has a mix of obsession and disgust whenever she would compliment me. Anyway long story short I started feeling so creeped out by her eye rolls whenever she saw me at work and her frustration when she complimented me getting into a bad mood. It was extremely creepy.
The first one is crazy bc she’s (the Asian girl) had been copying so many people!!!!
You cover some of the best topics sis 😍❤️💛💚🖤👑
I appreciate that
What’s sick, is I’ve had people name their kids after mine. Two different women. I learned that I was being studied. Wow! I find my neighbors wearing the same things I wear! I back in when I park, now the whole block does it! I see the kids wearing the cute tiny backpacks, I have bought my daughter these tiny back packs for years! You guessed it now the other kids her age have one! My hair styles, the men I choose! They’re always people who are learning and lurking. I swear I’m uncomfortable, but I guess it’s normal. Getcho own personality. Find your own baby names! Shyt! 😢
SMH. I'm sorry about that. Some people are creeps.
@@GabreyaB1990 yes they are!
1:08 in highschool I decided I wanted to grow my natural nails and focus on keeping them healthy and wanted to paint them more often as well so the first day I walked in w painted nails my friend at the time said "Girl you did not-" and was pointing at them and laughed at the fact that I painted my nails (so bizarre in general I was SO confused lol) the next day she came in w hers painted too..
Look how mi Dey ya ready fi copy Jodi🤦♀️😊, This the Antoinette your island girl from the 876 and I aspire to inspire . Any way a lot of people are secretly copying people especially when they come to your house and see the set up, they will and set their house the same way, they start asking you where and where you bought this or that. Love your channel Jodi.🙌🏼
If my friend uses my style for inspiration, I'm fine with it as long as they do it their way. I would have a problem if she was trying to be my carbon copy though.
my brother is this guy its SOOO WEIRD gets a new "friend" his whole life changes over the next few weeks.... Now he hunter last year was into woodworking before that a ninja at the damn dojo wearing ninja shoes in public 😂😂😂
If you don't mind me asking, have you ever said anything to him about it? Like does he know he does it, or why he does it? I'm curious.
I don’t think it’s weird if someone got the same shoes as me if she had a similar style to me.
Had this one friend. I dyed my hair red ... and then she dyed her hair red. Even though she was already ginger headed 😂😂😂 I asked her why, cause her natural color was so much more beautiful. The dye looked so bad, rip. And then she tried to get with the guy that I was talking to. He rejected her, and that's when I broke off our friendship 😬
I have a jist for you all, please don’t feel sorry for me laugh along 😊😊.
I had a friend in school that ALWAYS did what I did, befriended my friends, had a crush on the same boys, lined her lips the same way, and worked in the company I badly wanted to during our internship(fun fact I wasn’t aware till she needed my help with something that’s when I was aware we were in the same city, she doesn’t reside in my city btw).
So the sad part is I got held back a year, so I’m not graduating with my set, graduation is tomorrow (11/10/2024), brethren!!! Do you know this girl literary asked me ‘Hey **** can you send me styles of dresses that YOU WOULD HAVE WORN for graduation’!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I honestly didn’t know if I should take it as her being shady or not but after being stunned I started laughing 😂 😂. Because, on your dayyy you want to be ME!!! No no noooooooooooo!!
I’m sorry but Kim K isn’t queen. Beyoncé is.😂
Mariah and Lauryn hill lol
Wanting the same pair of shoes is no big deal if it’s a one time thing. Friends can have similar tastes and are inspired by each other and especially if it’s something trendy that everyone is liking. I would ask a friend first if it bothered her before I copied something and sometimes you can just get a different color. If it happened more than once in a blue moon or was a constant issue across hobbies, style, etc. then that would be a red flag and something else is going on. Like, don’t be a Hailey B.
I think she stopped talking to her because it was a regular occurrence 😢
Tbh that suing stuff could’ve went two ways. She could’ve did it and cut her some money, or do it period and kept the money. Either way you getting dinged for that accident. Her suing “you” is coming out the insurance you pay monthly with no damn accidents for years. There is a cap before you would have to come out your pocket directly, and that’s usually over $20,000-$30,000. It’s not that serious although it may feel like it. Business don’t mix with pleasure… and that’s that on that 🤷🏾♀️
Yeah I was lost when she was surprised that the friend could sue her. If that was their only car then I don’t see the problem. If the car was totaled she would be paying for the damages. Throwing in that yall got cool years later but she was “bipolar” was an unnecessary jab to deflect on how it went downhill. Also missed the examples of copying lmao😂
I have a person who wants to dress like me try to decorate her house like me I went to pick out some furniture and told the sales tax I will be back tomorrow to take care of it she went back later and actually grabbed the furniture set and call me to brag about it anything that I wear she thinks she's supposed to have the same because my husband treats him good and bothering me nice things she yells at her boyfriend because she wants him to do the same thing with my husband does for me which makes no sense and the worst part is this woman is way older
@@angelinaparker9473 SMH. The woman is a creep and a fake. You need to get away from her, if you can.
I personally don't like making friends you cant trust anyone anymore.
I got this one. My former bff lived in another state came to visit came to visit went home traded in her car to get one just like mine. I let my ex bf move in I had been with him for years she moved in man of the moment lest then a year. She stopped talking to me because I decided to leave my sorority. My granny told me years ago to watch that one.
mannn the one thing i hate say for me i dance and sing and then my friend goes online and goes, oh this for all the females who can't dance or sing.... like out of all things whhy dance and sing right when i upload a video of me dancing or singing i just feel like since they can't do it they'll also try to downplay what it is you can do as well. that's also a form of jealousy and copying you
I hate people like this 💔💔💔
Had a friend that copied me, bought clothes like mine, always trying to say we’re twins. After I distanced myself from her she sent me an essay(yes real essay format and all) about how I think I’m so hot and all that 😂 okay girl
Ur so pretty omg
Thank you 😊
i haven't been copied since I was a teenager thankfully ❤😂
We were all finding our personality at that age 😆
No. This is called Destiny swapping. It is EXTREMELY serious, and it is NO form of flattery AT ALL. The person has to have access to you & your life to attempt the swap & it is spiritual.
The one copying is usually a witch, warlocks or involved in witchcraft. See, people don't understand things on a spiritual level, so they have no idea what's going on. You have to fight it spiritually. Immediately cut off access to the person copying you, I don't care how long y'all been friends, or if their family. They are trying to destroy you & steal your star & destiny swap.
Look up & research destiny swapping. It happens to a lot of people.
Exactly
10:22 is it! Exactly how I feel
My cutoff game is too smooth. And I don't go backwards!
This is happening with my sister and her boyfriend's sister
She mentioned lps once and now his sister keeps buying them when she has never showed any interest in them whatsoever
She has done a lot more I just can't remember specifics but its the same story everytime my sister mentions or does something once and his sister suddenly has an extreme interest in whatever it was
I feel bad bc at first it just seemed like she looked up to my sister since she was her older brothers girlfriend but it's becoming obvious it is not inspiration at this point
So my friend and I have been going shopping together a lot lately. My dog recently passed away and it’s made me very depressed so I’ve been trying to fill the void in my heart with things.. It’s not working out very well and taking a financial toll… I digress…anyways and it’s kind of crazy because every time I pick something out, she wants to buy the same exact thing and it is getting kind of annoying especially when I know, she talks badly about me to everybody we know in common. Thankfully, we’ve stopped speaking because on New Year’s she kept on wanting me to pay for her to get into clubs and when I said no, she called me an abuser….. good riddance
Firstly I’m so sorry about the loss of your Dog…hugs to you babe 🫂. I had to recently give up my cat because of my living situation so I can only imagine what you’re going through. Now, regarding that ‘Friend’ you left her exactly where she should be…in 2024! Sometimes we have shed the baggage in order to receive our blessings ❤️
Omg girl in the dark pink robe and headband… get to the damn point already geezus it’s just rambling on with constant tangents and crap that has nothing to do with the story. I don’t even remember what the hell she was talking about and didn’t even get to her finishing before I stopped the video
i used to have a friend like this...i don't think it's flattery it's creepy creepy creepy..she copied my style,my interests,my words,my hobbies,everywhere i wanted to go she went there first!!!!she posted mine posts on her facebook as hers!!! she even get married to the island that i wanted to go the same day that i had my name celebration...stay away...
CHINESE ARE THESE......THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT FRIENDS BUT USERS...DON'T BE CONFUSED.
🌴🌴🥥Love ur channel Girl
Hey there, new Islander! You’re in the right place! Thank you 😊 🥰🌴
I haven't really been "copied" but all of a sudden, all of these females at work are now trying to lose weight after they saw I lost a lot of weight and people at work talking about me. Always asking what I did and if I go to a certain gym. Smdh
Why do you want to lose weight only after you saw me and some men at work given me compliments. Mind you, one woman is married with a kid... She had the audacity to say I shouldn't lose anymore weight because men like cornbread fed women. Then, in the same breath, ask me how I lost it...🙄😒
That’s how it was at my job, I bought fruit and start bringing it in …. I haven’t seen no one eat fruit…. All of a sudden they buying fruit & eating it on the job … I came to work and seen 10 people eating mangos after I bought some…. Worked with these people for 3 months and never seen them eat fruit…. Not judging I was just shocked to see everyone eating mangos when I come to work…. The same exact brand 2…. To the point that the shelves wouldn’t be stocked at the store by our job….. they was eating chips & ordering now all a sudden everyone by the same fruit……weird asf
Yh unfortunately this what happens when you are doing good in life. Only identity souless narcissists copy others and don't give credit. I had this crazy neighbour stalk me and steal all my outfits and put them on herself I hope one day ppl see she is mad and need self love. I have had many females copy me. Move in silence.
Anyone in here catch their parents doing this to them???
My mom would mean mug and side eye me all the time. She wasn’t fwm at allll, but she be observing tf outta me. I saw messages in her phone where she was going around telling her friends that she drinks tea everyday and enjoys her baths, etc. when IM the one actually doing these things everyday…she don’t be in the tub or drink water fr let alone HOT water. 🥴🥴🥴
Family can sometimes be the biggest perpetrators of this.
Yes. It's not exactly like yours but I have some similarities. If you're in a place to receive some sound advice: (in short) you're blessed and she's knows it. She's trying to do a destiny swap. Continue to develop your self identity. Honesty will help you with everything, like self-awareness, a healthy ego, discernment, etc. Connect with your higher power (if you believe in one), your higher self, the Earth, your ancestors, & etc. I wish I wouldve known this when I was younger. It wouldve helped me process things better.
@@iseeyoushay thanks for the advice. I wasn’t aware of what destiny swaps were when this happened but I’m glad I am now and have decided to separate myself from her and work on myself in private honey. Never thought we’d be here but thank god I’m aware of it so it don’t go on any logner
@@tierratheauracle That's great. I'm happy for you.
SMH. WOW. Your mother is a real piece of work. I hope that you get away from her and focus on you and your peace of mind.
I have genuine question my copycat friend and I live together what should I do to ignore her ‘attacks’ I just had an esthetic surgery and she acts so creepy she always talks about my surgery I mean it’s creepy it is beyond jealousy and I can’t move out rn please give me some advice
These stories
Had a friend once that copied everything about me. I started to notice id tell this "friend" about some of the things Ive done in life. Always a week later they would just repeat back what was said as if it happened to them. Never gave credit for any ideas as they thought of it 1st and i was copying them. It was a constant competition,style was copied,hobbies copied,,mannerisms copied even the way I speak ffs. Id laugh if it wasnt so damn creepy. GET YOUR OWN IDENTITY £ LIFE,YOU WEIRDO
Hey my second time watching a video of yours. Love the accent sending Love from Chicago Smooches 😘 10/02/24

i've actually seen another different creator do exactly all the clothing taylor mentioned as well .. i thought taylor was the copy cat
How creepy
22:35 Is it Tanessha from Bad Girls club?
@17:52 wait, but she was driving right? I'm confused.
That's what I'm trying to figure out 😂

“The Queen Kim K”??? Naaa she ain’t my Queen!!

Welcome to the Islanders Family ☺️
The first time no I wouldn't be mad at her especially bc we like the same thing. Now if we are going to the store and and find something we both like....no still would not be mad bc we like the same things and we cute or whateva....NOW if it's behind my back type thing and she starts mimicking my mannerisms etc that would be weird. Wouldn't be mad but I would be distancing myself for a while
Calling Kim k a queen is embarrassing lol

@JodiTheIslandGirl Thank you lovely lady!
Damnnnnnnn
Umm everyone is a copier in someway!! How do you think trends, slangs, hairstyles, makeup styles, etc start….. by copying someone and then it spreads!! In fact most media influencers started out by copying or getting someone’s ideals or there wouldn’t be different groups like storytelling, makeup and hair, pranks, food makers and the biggest one trends and challenges. I have seen thousands of people do the same dance to the same songs thousands of times and eat the same food someone started on TikTok. So yeah everyone copies!!
This is a form of spiritual warfare. Akin to destiny swapping.
Honestly, I fuck with the girl that humbled herself. I understand that people copying can be frustrating but that should be an expectation when you get on the internet. I used to get irritated back in the Facebook meme era when people would steal my stuff, just to block me when I asked them about it. I eventually learned people copy others because they see you get results, and even if not through you you're still able to inspire and humor people indirectly.
🌴🌴🌴🌴
Happy to welcome you to the Islanders Family 🇯🇲
I see so many women on here talking about how other people copy them. Yet they are all copying the same trend of doing their make up while they tell a story on Tiktok. They lack originality as well. "The pot calling the kettle black"
That's different. GRWM videos are not a problem. Most women wear makeup. People were doing it on TH-cam before it was popping on Tiktok. Aaliyah Jay and others sent the trend years ago. It's not an anamoly just because you now see it on Tiktok. Copying someone's stories, verbal inflections, narrative, fits, ideas is a whole different thing. You sound like you are missing the point. 😂
@@Poeticfloetic You can try to excuse the obvious copy cat cattiness. But I see through the Bullshi.. Catty bish's online always complaining while also being EXACTLY what they bish about. GTFOH
It's not that. It's that these people have something fundamentally wrong. Mine was a stalker.
