Why escape your intended purpose by copying and trying to be someone else? You will discover who you were meant to be only after you have shown confidence being yourself.

— Suzy Kassem

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!
