[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I noticed a similar copycat issue, except it's with my older SIL. SIL is now dressing very similar to me, even down to the coloring and brands. She has adopted our silly birthday traditions. She signs her emails exactly as I do. When she finds out I've picked up a new activity, she does too. Same with signing up activities for her kids. None of these are, individually, a big deal. But it does make me feel odd, like I'm being unduly watched. And no, I don't think I'm a special unique snowflake. But the copycat behavior CAN be unsettling. I think that's because outright copying is outside the norm, and also because it's unacknowledged. There's no "Oh, I love that idea!" or "What a great purse! Where did you get it?" and a normal conversation. She just watches and replicates. [/quote] Unless she sighs her emails "May the Goddess Zambrana Hold You in the Most High," what the ever-love are you talking about? [/quote]
