Have someone that stole your ideas or copied your styles? These copycat quotes will be your perfect statement to the annoying imitators in your life.
Have you ever have someone in your life that stole your joke or copied your style? Pretty annoying, right? They follow your every step and treat your idea as their own. Copycats are like the shadow you can’t get rid of.
So what is a copycat?
By definition, copycat refers to those who imitate or copy what others do. As kids, we all navigate the world watching what others do. But some people keep this habit into adulthood. They clone the way you dress, talk, or act.
When I was a freshman at college, I was closed with one of my roommates. I told her about the clubs I was planning to join. And she ended up joining the same ones without telling me so. When I told her about a new movie I just saw, she introduced it to someone else the next day as if she was the first to discover it. Not to mention similar dresses, shoes, and even the topics of assignments.
It’s frustrating to know that what you do today will be imitated by someone else tomorrow. There were times when I wanted to scream, “I discovered it first! It is my idea.” But then I realized that the worst thing copycats could do is disturb your inner peace or make you question the importance of originality.
So what to do when copycats get on your nerve?
The best thing you can do is to walk away, to uncare. Copycats deserve your ignorance, not your attention. They might get caught, or they might get away with copying. But one thing is sure – copycats are always behind you. Instead of wasting your precious time and energy on them, it’s better to focus on being yourself and walking your path.
With that said, when you need to make a point to the duplicators in your life, these copycat quotes will do the job.
