  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Only that one guy in the bathroom who always brushes his teeth and shaves at the same time as me.

Does anyone else have someone in their life who copies everything they do?

My best friend's at the time wife (now ex) did this all the time. I was never bothered by it. Her Mom is a POS, she had no sisters, she didn't really have family, and no women to look up to. She was also very insecure. She tried to model her life after mine.

I wouldn't call myself friends with her but, I put up with her for the sake of their children. She still often asks my opinion before major life decisions and any time she's doing anything that I have expertise in. Overall she's still an anxious, insecure, and not very good person.

So yes, yes I have. Thankfully we no longer live near each other so contact is minimal.

My sister still pulls this move often, but it doesn’t bother me anymore. It’s her life at the end of the day. It bothered me much more when we were children!

Ultimately it doesn’t impact my life at all.
