I Can't

Copy Cat

1/30/16
Do any of y'all have that cousin or younger sibling who does what do or likes what you like?

Well I do. I'm positive of it. Since she was real little she would copy me. My family excused it by saying this:

"She's just like you and your other cousin. She just wants to be like you because you're older."

I would just be like ok and let it go or whatever. Now that we're teens it's gotten worse. Let me give you guys some scenarios.

•I got my second piercing for my birthday not too long ago. She never even talked about a piercing. As soon as she saw mine she said she wants one.

•She never really talked about animals like that no cared about them. The most she talked about was wanting a dog. I talk about the pets I want and becoming a vet. Now she starting to say if I become a vet or I want this pet. She was thinking about engineering now all of a sudden being a vet.

•I say stuff to my mom that may be funny or I'll start calling her ma I'm a different language just to be different. I thought I was different. She'll start saying the same thing or doing the same thing I do.

There is more to the list but this is just a few.

Y'all may think I'm over exaggerating but I'm not. I get so annoyed it's not even funny. My mom has said herself that she's a follower and I should watch what I do. She's basically saying don't be myself. I'm not about to stop being the way I am because another teen can't find my identity.

For years they fed into what she liked conparing it to me and thinking it's cute. Now look what the result is.

I get in trouble all the time when she talks at the mouth to her mom because they say she got it from me. That's not my fault.

I love my cousin but I just wish she would find her own identity.

Tell me if you have any siblings/cousins that want to be just like you.

How do they copy you?

Is it annoying to you or do you not care?
