Why do people copy others?

People who copy usually have 4 psychological traits or thoughts happening. They’re either:

  • Lacking a sense of self – They don’t know who they are so being you seems awesome
  • Green with envy – They want what you have, so they copy you to try to get it
  • Insecure – A lack of self-esteem can cause someone to try and elevate themselves by copying those they admire (you) or…
  • Obsessive – This verges into the dangerous territory so act with caution and care!

What are the psychological features of bullies?

Research finds that bullies have a distinct psychological makeup. They lack prosocial behavior, are untroubled by anxiety, and do not understand others’ feelings. They exhibit a distinctive cognitive feature, a kind of paranoia: They misread the intentions of others, often imputing hostility in neutral situations. Others may not like them, but they typically see themselves quite positively. Those who chronically bully tend to have strained relationships with parents and peers.

Imitation

Imitation (from Latin imitatio, “a copying, imitation”) is a behavior whereby an individual observes and replicates another’s behavior. Imitation is also a form of that leads to the “development of traditions, and ultimately our culture. It allows for the transfer of information (behaviours, customs, etc.) between individuals and down generations without the need for genetic inheritance.” The word imitation can be applied in many contexts, ranging from animal training to politics. The term generally refers to conscious behavior; subconscious imitation is termed mirroring.

What is the psychology underlying people who imitate others a lot?

Such people tends to fall into either one of three categories. First, they might be suffering from low self-esteem and therefore do not believe their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are good enough. Second, they want to fit in with a certain “type” of person, and that won’t be possible if that person is not accepting of him/her having their own thoughts. Third, the imitator might simply be overwhelmed by someone’s “charisma,” either negative or positive, and rather than go against the tide of that charisma, it’s easier to just succumb to it.

They might not even recognize it as copying rather they usually do it kind of innately.
