Your friend admires you, and he/she wants to be like you. A little of that is a normal part of growing up. We learn by imitating other people.
But taken to extremes, this habit can be most distressing. I would venture that your friend has very little self-esteem, and too much esteem for you. You like yourself well enough to enjoy your own style. Your friend would be better off copying how you feel about yourself inside, instead of copying how you look and act on the outside.

You cannot repair this person's ego, but you can help by letting him/her know in little ways that you think he/she is perfectly wonderful just as he/she is. Be most curious as to what he/she likes and does not like. Allow him/her to discover that he/she does have most excellent opinions of his/her own.

disown the friend and get a new one.

it annoys me too, things i buy - my friends want to buy, things i say - my friends say. makes me feel like i'm living in a world of clones.

just gotta ignore it, that's all.

reply with a strong *bitch dont copy me (or something like that)*
and put her back in her place

Find out something that she really hates (like a food, or certain type of music) and then eat/play that. If she suddenly loves whatever it is you ate/play, then you know she's copying you outright, and ask her why. If she still hates it, then she doesn't notice what she's doing, and you might want to have a little chat.

PS Don't ask here blatently 'what do you hate??', but try to find out discreately.

get over yourself...either that or just find a new friend who doesn't do that if it bothers you that much.
