Something that often irritates me is when you try to be yourself but someone thinks it is okay to copy every single thing you do.
There's a saying "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" and to some extent that is true. It's okay if someone buys something that you have because they like it, or does a few things the same as you because they look up to you but there's a fine line between being inspired and blatant obsessive copying. Not only does it take away there individuality but it takes away yours too.
It is so frustrating when you work so hard on things or feel proud at what you have achieved and somebody else thinks it is okay to just completely copy you without your permission and take all the credit and then act like they have done nothing wrong,
It seems these days I can't do anything without someone else doing the exact same and it is so suffocating. In the past year I have changed so much in a person and I am finally standing up for myself and not letting people walk all over me and getting away with murder.
Be confident and be yourself. Don't live your life trying to be like somebody else.
"Be yourself, everyone else is already taken" - Oscar Wilde
