Wat to do with them? It's hard to hurt the feelings of people so they take it wrong and think, oh Its ok I can copy! Copying is not cool, it rips a person of their personality, uniqueness. Copy me once its ok, but twice is weird, Third time is annoying and does make you think wat the heck is wrong?

Assalaamu Alaaykum
Indeed imitation is wrong. One of the reasons why we must follow the Qur'aan and Sunnah the correct way and not imitate others.
"Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists).".."[Al Qur'aan 3:2]
Re: Imitation is not the highest form of flattery..Its freaking Annoying!
omg agreed completely its very annoying
sometimes u gotta be blunt with people i had the same prob with a family member and i just flat out told them i didnt want to be their muse anymore and if they'd like id help them bc the whole twin thing was just not cool..i know it sounds mean but it stopped
so be honest and offer to help i suppose

Re: Imitation is not the highest form of flattery..Its freaking Annoying!
I have a friend like this also, we're like twins, it don't anoy me though, we all ways copy each other in some thing. For example he bought the same trainers as me and I went with him to show him which 1s I bought, another day I bought the same hair gel as him. If anything we're closer cos of it, we're like real brothers who don't care if the other copies him cos their love for each other is much greater.
We even talk the same lol, I'm not sure who copied who there, I think it's a blend of both. At first it did creep me out and I found it anoying also, but as our friendship grew and we got closer then I stopped getting anoyed about it.

I don't care if someone copied me.
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.

Good point.
It is pointless to watch other people's houses crumbling when our own house is in need of repair and attention.
Re: Imitation is not the highest form of flattery..Its freaking Annoying!
Depends..really depends on what it is exactly what someone is copying....That reminds me of when I was small..my mother would always make me and my younger sister wear exactly the same clothes..I used to hate it...if someone is copying the same sort of hijaab, shoes, purse etc then it's straight up annoying. If it's that you are wearing hijaab and someone wants to wear it too..then no harm whatsoever. I've had both types..I know certain family relatives, the second I buy something and they like it..they will go and buy it buy the end of the week..that tests my patience..and on the other hand I know a sister who was not practising at all no hijaab,..and then I got to know her and she wanted to change within herself and now she observes niqaab alhumdulilah.
