Do you get offended when a person says you look like someone else?

[kisaragi5TH]

When people say I look like someone else I tend to shrug it off, but I do get a little offended if I don't agree or see it myself. It also depends on if its a person I know or if its someone famous.

Who do people say do you look like? It can be someone no one knows or someone famous. Do feel insulted or offended when people say you look identical to someone else? Why?

Yes

No

Sometimes it is a pain in the azz , I know, it gets annoying when everyone keeps calling you by their name thinking you are them.

There was this singer who my relative used to say that she looks like me, I don't see that at all, I don't see the similarities. Maybe eyes, nose and bone structure in face but anything else no.

It is offending If they say "you look like a certain animal " but when they say you look like a certain person it is not offending or insulting unless you are too full of yourself, with my respect of course.

No, not really. It can get frustrating if you're a certain ethnicity and there's a long pattern of people telling you that you look just like the only other person they know with that ethnicity even though you look nothing alike :P Or like, people are constantly telling me I look like Adele just because we're both big women. I don't get mad at them personally, but after hearing it so many times, it warrants an inner eye-roll, haha.

It's never happened to me. I guess I'd be like OK, whatever who cares in my mind. I don't think I'd be offended, though people that are obsessed with celebs and superficial crap are just generally annoying to begin with.

Well I for one don't think much of it, should someone confuse me for someone famous or not, it makes no difference to me. I mean why should it and most of all, why would I be offended by that? I don't see the point.

Had a guy tell me I looked like yellow wolf the rapper once. Had no idea who it was, so I looked him up and I actually kind of agree. I didn't really think anything of it either way.
