How do you feel when someone imitates your style, whether it be in your mannerisms, your fashion, or even try to take credit for your ideas?

I do not understand or know what is going on here....I have come to believe and think that when people come to this world and live here they become mindless in multiple ways that go against everything I know and understand...leaving me sacred, disturbed and alone.

Would you mind elaborating? It sounds like it offends you in other ways.

@TheLoveAge I dont understand...I guess what I said is not understood as once again Im alone in what is happening as I always know

@kurokitsune I read your first story and your comment seems to corroborate what you've written here. But would like to hear the story from you. Mind explaining a bit further?

Flattered in a way, your stuff has to be pretty good in someone's eyes if they want to bite it.
No one really tries to take credit for stuff that sucks. Lol.

@5thApprentice Lol true. What do you think about the idea that some are undermining and almost disavowing their originality when they do this? Not to sound dramatic about it, I'm just curious.

@TheLoveAge I think it's a shame. I get there's being inspired and influenced but taking someone's efforts wholesale and trying to pass it off as your own is something I don't get.

@5thApprentice True true.

I laugh. I have yet to see one who doesn't do a horrible job of it.

@TheLoveAge People have done it. They faceplanted every time when I stepped in and was actually able to back up the work with the working knowledge of it.

@UndeadPrivateer That's good. How about in social media sites?

UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M

@TheLoveAge Have yet to have anyone try that. I wouldn't particularly care, just send off a C&D and be done with it.

Amusing.

Irritable.

@SW-User

It makes sense. I'm not sure what my ambiguity about this is then, I might just be overthinking it too. Not new for me, lol.

@TheLoveAge Maybe someone got under your skin. That happens and makes it all ambiguous. :)

@SW-User

I wasn't really that irritated, but it made me think more on the frequency of it. Like if there's was another explanation for why it happens.

Sue em. That's plagiarism man.

In social media sites though, not necessarily in a professional manner. @SINAI
