Sometimes you feel like complaining....

I've been in a very deep mood lately. I can't keep anything in, just can't. I've been crazy honest with my feelings. I hate having someone bother me or offend me and care more about the persons feelings then confronting them, or voicing my feelings. Not gonna happen anymore, I've got such a great family and such support from my true friends that I don't need anyone bringing me down.

So whats on my mind?

Ok first is this long time selfish pet peeve of mine - copycats.
I know it sounds so immature, and completely irrelevant for someone as confidant as I feel I so often am. But honestly when I get the feeling that a person is just taking all of my interests and suddenly making them their own, makes me feel suffocated.

Imitation is supposed to be a form of flattery, but when I hear someone criticize something I like, or truly have no knowledge of my hobbies and then all the sudden 2 days later pretends they are the biggest fan ever? I just want to scream!

Now I would never expect everyone to like different things, and I have no problem with introducing something to a friend and have them genuinely feel the same likeness.

I get to the point where I don't want to see these people ever again, this is an example from a couple years back....

I had a friend who was super sweet, I loved hanging out with her. I was engaged to Ben at the time and she was dating his friend. I knew who she was from the past, and the person she became was already very different. My birthday came up, and I gave Ben a huge list of my likes while this girl was present. I wanted a different color Coach bag, some Juicy earrings, a pink razor phone, destiny's child tickets, stuff like that. If you've known me these items aren't out of the ordinary for me.
Well this girl asks me what juicy is, ok...and didn't know what coach was, ok well not a big deal I don't expect everyone to be as crazy about accessories as I am. She even told me it was crazy to like something so expensive. "A $200 purse? Its the same you could get at Target." Whatever I've heard it all before.

A couple days later she changed her background to Juicy Couture Fan wallpaper, for her birthday a couple mths after mine asked her boyfriend for a coach bag that was very similar to mine, and when he asked what that was she made fun of him. That Christmas I had had my pink phone for a couple mths, and when I saw her at a get together she pulls out my same phone. I tell myself these are material things, and I know I'm not the only one who has this stuff by any means, but! What?! How is it EVERY SINGLE THING? After a couple mths this continued, but the drawling line was when she started addressing "problems" she had with her boyfriend that were the same I had with Ben, only it made sense for us because we were married by this point, and she was still dating this guy. He eventually freaked and that was that. But it still bothered me for a long time and I just cut her off and haven't spoken to her since.

Now I find this happening to me, a girl may imitate my interests and at times (this WILL sound crazy) but I feel like she'll make certain decisions, just to FEEL like she has a life like mine. She'll try so hard to make it seem like she has the same type family, same hobbies, same home decor, same pregnancies (after finding out I was pregnant with my 2nd a mth later she got pregnant, the same thing happened the first time), same religion (she says she's a member but hasn't been baptized and I feel doesn't understand the church and doesn't want to), will buy the same stuff for her kid whos way to old for Michelle's stuff. Its...weird really weird. This isn't someone I can make vanish either, I can't not see this person anymore.

I would never had said anything, but recently I've had friends and family come TO ME and say they've noticed! They'll tell me things this person says on facebook (their birth story was written out almost the same as mine only-some things were total crap), on their blog (one was like almost word for word the same as mine), in person, are oddly identical to me, every single part of me! Not just one or two similarities, but scary fake closeness to my interests and full personality. Ah

So what is your opinion readers? Is this some crazy drama I'm creating? How can I get away from this thinking? Do I confront these people? Do I keep it to myself? Either way I can't just ignore it, I need an action. Has anyone gone through something like this?
