"Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else."

"Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else."
I post this quote on my Facebook last night.
I got annoyed by one of my friend who tends to copy my style.
I know I should not be thinking about it but she always does that even before.
I know each one of us is a unique individual with different style. But this one friend is a copycat.
I've been wearing eyeglasses because I have 75-75 vision and also I try different look since I'm sick. It will hide my swollen eyes too.
Last year when she goes back from being a DH in Dubai. She starts wearing eyeglasses too, and when we meet when she saw me, she throws away her eyeglasses and I know she feels awkward about it.
She starts wearing a sweater too and what for? It's hot here in the Philippines.
She started wearing makeups too.
I don't know if I influence her but you know someone who is jealous of you if they started not liking the post of your self.
Do you like to copy someone's style just to make yourself better?

Maybe she is fond of your looks. Take it positively. You are like a model celebrity or style diva for her. Cheer up!!

I am still bothered because she still doesn't have originality.

@JustBhem Oh! SO you already understand what is behind all that. So you should not be bothered.

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”
Instead of being annoyed, I suggest you take it as a compliment. Take it that way as that’s more positive and lighter. Feeling annoyed might just make you feel a little more sick so try and be optimistic on this one. You need all your energy focused on getting better so just don’t mind her, at least for now! Haha.

I'm thinking about it too but I just can't get hold of my feelings.
We have a wall between us with this friend already.
And she is not a good friend too. She doesn't want to have someone be ahead of her.
And she humiliates me by talking behind my back to friends too.

@JustBhem Oh. Therefore I suggest to dump the poor gurl and stop calling her your friend. ;)

I don't like being copied but there are people who always do this. I just ignore it.

No, but maybe sometimes. Haha. Since she is your friend maybe you really did influence her on some area of her liking.

@JustBhem It depends on the situation, my friend. When a friend followed my style and thank me because of it, then, I think I'll be happy for him. But your situation is kinda different and I think I will feel the same as you are if that happens to me, too.

It would be okay if they will tell us that they inspire us as I always tell someone if they did inspire me.
But this friend is cannot be trusted and full of insecurities.

She's just too selfish to me, at least she has work abroad. Doesn't she know your condition. How can be she jealous of you or something. Maybe you should confront her about it.

I posted a discussion about her before when she talks about me behind my back that it is nice to talk to other friends other than me when in fact I was the one who has been there for her when she needed someone to talk to when she's lonely. I was the bridge of their relationship with our friend.
Now she is copying my style even my hair.
I already observe her even before.

I sometimes copy someone's style , like the celebrities but I want to be unique in my own way.
