What does it mean when someone copies the things you say?

Like what if you say something often, and then someone starts using the same word exactly the same way you do.
What does it mean?

Do do you get annoyed and find a different thing to say?

Like something you find clever and funny and something you made up all by yourself

It's probably just rubbing off on them. My laugh changes depending on who I am with, and not in an intentional fake high pitch laugh. It litterally morphs into thiers- it's creepy.

[Asker]

Lol haha that's funny. My laugh never changes but it's always high pitched and sound weird. I wish I could change it

[Cachloe1]

I think it's creepy but just wanted to tell you that it isn't on purpose.

[Asker]

It's not that creepy but it kind of is... It's kind of hard to have different laughs on purpose

[RationalLioness]

I used to do that. For me, I just really liked their mannerisms and it would be something that I didn't do on purpose. I would have to force myself to stop... lol.

[Asker]

It happens all by itself? Naturally?

[RationalLioness]

Sometimes. Other people may intentionally copy or others are mimicking out of rudeness.

[Asker]

Not in that way though, they use it like they made it up and actually like it and find it clever too

It's called a "copy cat"

[DrKran]

They may also wait till you say something stupid like "I'm stupid"
or if you say that person's name they'll change it to your name.

They're called a "copy-cat"?
