A girl kept copying me and now she’s flirting with my boyfriend. What should I do?

[Anonymous]

I know it’s immature to be bothered about people copying you and stuff and usually I don’t mind. But this is creeping me out. This girl I barely know (a close friend of a friend) apparently “doesn’t like me”, but she keeps copying my social media posts. She posts pics in the same pose, same outfit and in a similar place to mine. She never talks to me in real life either and looks like she doesn’t want to which is fine. But it’s confusing because apparently she talks behind my back.

But my boyfriend has now told me that she messaged him on social media and trying to flirt/send suggestive pics of herself. What should I do? Would it be OTT to block her?

Ignore her. These types of people want your attention so if you ignore her, it’ll show that you’re above this nonsense. Blocking her would only show you’re threatened.

I would say block anyways... she's behaving like a stalker. If she talks shit behind your back and has an undue interest in your boyfriend, I would say she is jealous of you and wants to replace you with herself. Probably the act of imitating you is an attempt to be you... seeing that the "you" have been able to get that boyfriend, she's now going to copy that.

I would go as far as to say she possibly has contempt for you because she basically thinks she can do whatever you're doing and do it better. She's jealous with envy.

I'll tell you from my own life experience that eventually she will start shit with you. (Yes, some dudes are like that too.) Trying to swipe your man is the exact same thing as some dude that hates me, and thinks they're better than me trying to swipe my woman. So get your boyfriend to block her too. Besides it is creepy and has to be stalking you online to have anything to shit talk about you or to memic your pictures.

You genuinely think blocking her is a sign of weakness? Sweetheart, it’s peace. If this girl is obsessed with you, let her be. It’s not your responsibility to confront her or stop her. Both you and your boyfriend can just block her and continue to ignore her and pretend she doesn’t exist. If she wants to get your attention, you’re giving it and she knows it. Let her revel in the pointless digital victory of being blocked and continuing to obsess over you. Move on, focus on your life

That's a tough one when you have such a weirdo who isn't even mean to you in any direct way. But I figure she's like your ultimate fan? It's all about letting your ultimate fan down gently as I see it. Or maybe just block. If you don't have to see her every day, I'd just block. Kinda mean but there's not enough time in our lives to sort everything out perfectly.
