People copying your style

[Whey]

I get weirded out when people copy me and annoyed. Creeps the heck out of me! How do you handle a copy cat?

 

[kisaj]

With amusement and pride.

 

[youngandfree]

Maybe you are the copy cat, not them.

 

[jtmass]

Everyone copies some aspects like style, workout, diet etc of someone. Even you are copying someone and you know that's the fact. So, please!!

 

[Fasted]

It could be that the person looks up to you and wants to emulate you. No shortage of young people growing up without mentors. It can be wierd, but as long as the person isn't being an a-hole or trying to out "you" you, it's really just a compliment.

I realize there are much more important issues to spend my time thinking about and move on.

In what way do people copy you?

 

[Driven2lift]

You pay less attention to them and focus on you

I see no reason to take offence or allow it to irritate you, just shows that people may look up to you or want to be more like you.

^^^^This. In a situation where a lot of people are trying to get in better shape, the tendency is to emulate someone who appears to have figured it out. In that aspect, there are two types; those who will freely approach someone and ask questions, and those who are more reserved and sit back and observe. Be thankful it's the latter.

I take it as a compliment. When people load their shoulders and back the same way i do before a bench. Or the little shimmy I do before I squat. I look like a total moron but hey these kids gotta do something to hit a new PR right?

Like it bothers me so much I turn to the internet for validation... like this one time, last Monday, I noticed this new dude at the gym walk in and started bench pressing on the bench next to mine. I feel like the only reason he wanted to work chest was because I was already working chest.

Not to mention all the people who copy what I wear! I doubt everyone would think to wear baseball hats and cutoffs to the gym on their own without blatantly copying me

Fukc. I want to copy you to bro. You were husky, now shredded and eat pancakes and cereal. I have a picture of you on my fridge but that's not weird, right?

This is the weird stuff thats happening. It been going on for over 10 years with someone at work. Plays it off like its his own and gives me horrible jealous vibes. I think his nuts! He prolly thinks about me?

I dont know how to handle it. Im just going to ignore him as much as i can, and at the same time keep the vibe neutral and proffesional / friendly as possible.

If it is really something that is bothering you, talk to the guy about it.

I'm not sure how, I feel he is abnormally jealous of me, and its my work place.

[Stillbloom]

never assume that you are the original,

 

[BlockBuilder]

Who the **** is so self absorbed they notice or even think someone is purposely copying their style? Jesus. I'm pretty sure you aren't that important to anyone except maybe your mom and Dad.

Well it's hard to know over the net, but if this is the type of dude I think it is, then playing it polite but short and distancing yourself is probably the best move. It seems as if he has his own issues to get over if he's copying you and purposely challenging you or mean mugging, etc. There was a guy at my job like that once upon a time. Not a bad guy, but way mixed up and no emotional intelligence. He kinda self destructed on his own and I felt pretty bad for him. But he would do things like talk to me about athletics and then argue that NASCAR is the most athletic sport. When I engaged and discussed these things with him it got worse and he had a bad rep throughout the workplace so I didn't want to be associated. At the same time I always leave someone with their dignity unless they give me no option. When I quietly just let him make his wierd assertions without the arguing he chilled out.

If it's as ridiculous as you are saying it is, then others can tell. No need to make a point, just play it short, cool and polite. But some people do just push things till they have to be addressed.

 

[kisaj]

Not to come across in a disparaging way, but I would assume you are probably pretty young, OP. This is the type of thing that would concern someone that isn't fully confident or sure of themselves, like most everyone in their early 20s. As you come into your own, things others do affect you less and less to the point when you are in your 40's you simply stop giving a **** altogether. LOL

Yea ive been keeping my distance but when I see him I keep things short and friendly. I'm uncomfortable about him emulating everything I do, because at times he can give off a negative vibe. It almost seems like he wants to be me, right now I think a friendly distance is key.

I wish I had an admirer

We're both experience men. I'm in my 30s and he is in his mid 40s. I find it creepy because I can get a sense of all the weirdness behind it all. I brought it up with some of my co workers, and they have noticed it too and thinks its funny.
