like most things, its case by case basis.

if they are being weirdo with it then it hits different. i know a dude that would copy what i said to him and say it back to me at a later date so it felt kind of twilight zone like.

i told him my favorite genre was gangster. he said the same thing back to me at another time
i told him a phrase "its just money" that i use when it comes to trivial problems.... he would copy it back to me as if i didn't already know
i was watching the johnny p's caddy video and had a spaz out reaction to j cole's verse.... the next time we watched it he said my same reaction
i told him i could hook him up with an attorney who would do his case for a tip instead of the regular fee (off the strenght of my referral). he literally said the same shyt back to me a few weeks later.

idk if he was taking my shyt in because he thought it sounded good or if he was gaslighting me or if he was a psychopath or some shyt

That’s definitely crazy! Ppl like that don’t have original thoughts so they literally copy what you say and repeat it to YOU as if you’re supposed to be impressed or not remember that you said it first.

If he did it multiple times then he’s either a little slow, gaslighting you or legit psycho.

I am the admitted fashion plate in the family. I’ve always been complimented on my sense of style and attention to detail.
I admit I don’t necessarily know how this makes the other girls in the family feel, but for sure my fam isn’t the type to put us against each other!

I attended an event recently and received many compliments from head to toe- hair style down to my heels. And I was the only woman present rocking a particular jewel tone, so I stood out even more. However, everyone looked great! What I wore just popped against the crowd.

That being said, my mom called me laughing (and this is some mean-girl ish I am not trying to adopt from her) because apparently a relative attended an event this weekend and her mom sent pictures to the other elders about her great her daughter looked…

She copied my look from the hair (slightly different, but same effect), dress color, accessories and GotDAMN shoe color and design! Like, wtf?

My mom and I have our issues, which I’ve noted here before, but she definitely takes pride in my looks and style. So she said the minute she saw the picture she had to call me because it was so obvious.

For a little backstory, this is the daughter of the relative who told my mother to tell me that my looks wouldn’t last forever . So that makes it a little funnier.



This topic is for ladies and gents because it happens to us all:



How do y’all handle people copying your style? I don’t want to have to purposely stunt at events to
1- ensure I’m not being copied or
2- see if my look gets copied again.



I guess what I’m saying is… B__h stole my look and I feel a way!
I curate my ensembles to evoke a particular response and Ionno how I feel about someone copying me. Feels like theft.

But I also know how trivial this may sound beyond the undergrad years (because there were definitely arguments about stuff like this back then )





Copied me down to the shoe style and heel length.



And no, Coli, no pictures will be included.

You sound like a spoiled white airhead straight out of clueless. Who gives a fukk

 

[Gloxina]

it's flattery until someone that looks better than you does it, which is rare because most fine broads got their own style.

personally I don't like the shyt unless they pay homage (tell you that you inspired them)

shyt used to happen to my ex and she'd take it to heart.

I’m saying!
It’s frustrating.

I can be a little spoiled. That isn’t my fault, tho

And clearly there are ppl ITT who can relate

@Gloxina you low key sound like a dime


But to answer the question of the thread my fashion sense hasn’t been copied - I don’t think …



But my posting style has been copied.

You are quite kind, sir.


I’ll admit, looks were never a chief issue in my life, but my family issues definitely served as a distraction and kept me humble

If I were truly vapid and lacking in emotion those things wouldn’t get to me, but alas, I’m sensitive.

But again- I know how trivial this is and how in the grand scheme of things isn’t a real problem. It’s just so funny to me how people do that shyt and this it isn’t obvious they stole your look.


Type of shyt that motivates you to look your absolute best and shut it down every time so there are no questions the next time someone tries it



And your posting style being copied is far more interesting; your writing style and/or intellectual musings being mimicked speaks to a more important type of influence.

… that’s the thing … they never tell you to you face that they admire you they’re always on this - who do they think they are … and try to hide it … but you can always smell a dikkrider and nothing worse than when it’s family …

but I feel you …
from a little kid I was always well dressed … can’t stop won’t stop now …
