Have you ever felt like you constantly had someone “copying” certain things you do? I’ll refrain from using specific examples, but for the last several months I feel like I’ve had a “copy cat” on my hands. My fiance tells me that imitation is the best form of flattery, but when it seems excessive I just find it outright strange and creepy. Not to mention, it’s almost as if this “copy cat” wants to prove they’re better than me which I find to be completely pathetic and a huge sign of weakness.
I have finally decided to write about it because quite frankly it’s a form of venting for me. I love to social network; that’s no big surprise. I enjoy updating my Facebook status, Twitter, and blogging about my life, planning my wedding, running, working out, fun things Damon and I cook, the holidays, family…pretty much everything. Being a social butterfly is who I am; it’s who I’ve always been. With that being said, maybe it’s my own fault for sharing so much via internet that I seem to have gained a “copy cat” along the way…? But I love networking and communicating so I suppose it’s a consequence I have to be willing to deal with.
I thought about updating and blogging less, but no way, I’m not going to change anything. I wouldn’t change who I am or what I love for anyone, especially for some jealous creep who wants to pretend they’re better. I’ll continue to live my own life while this creeping copy cat apparently doesn’t have a life of their own to live.
Stick and stones may break my bones, but creeping copy cats will never be me!
