Have you ever had a friend who seems to mirror your every move—your style, interests, even your career choices? At first, it feels flattering, but soon, it starts to feel like they’re not just inspired by you—they’re trying to be you. In this episode, we’re diving into the uncomfortable reality of the Copycat Syndrome—when admiration turns into imitation, and a friendship starts feeling more like an identity crisis.
How do you handle it without sounding arrogant or confrontational? Should you call them out, or is there a better way to create boundaries? I’ll be sharing practical advice on how to recognize when someone is copying you, why they do it, and how to deal with it without damaging your peace. Tune in to learn how to navigate these tricky dynamics while staying true to yourself.
