how do you get your friend to stop copying you?

my best friend, i love her to death, but it's getting so annoying.
i used to think that she just liked the same stuff i did.
but now, she copies me constantly.
just yesterday, she got her hair cut exactly the way i do.

i just need to know, is there any way that i can stop this...

Do something insane that you know she doesn't have the guts to do.

i would but...she always overreacts and gets defensive O_O

let her know the lack of originality is depressing and she could at least try to be a little more subtle.

if you're not willing to communicate, she'll never know.

one day when she copies you just bring it up and be like hey dont copy me

Honestly you both sound kind of mature. Copying you? Unless she is actually attempting to become so much like you that she can take over your life without anyone knowing, be flattered she obviously thinks you have good taste.


She might be copying you because she lacks confidence in her own ideas. It's not always easy being an idividual maybe she's just following what she knows is excepted. Try compimenting her on something, she'll do it more often.

Either break off the friendship altogether or you know suck it up.
