copying people, things.... etc

Post Reply New Topic

does anyone else do this because i've been doing it all my life.

and by copying i'd don't mean copying something someone does, like someone drives a truck into a lake and then you go and do the same thing.

i mean you see a character\person talk or acting a certain way and you copy them.

like when i got done playing kh2 i was mirroring xemnas, i knew i was doing it, but i couldn't stop doing it. and i was talking exactly like him all except that i can't sound like him being a female and all. i was doing the hand gestures, even walking around like him, and i even took on his personality as a whole.

when i go running around with harkness on the wasteland, i will start acting like him, talking like him. it's like i take on the character's life force or something, like they possess me.

even my torch character i will copy. and the feelings the are in my story will come out on my face, i'll be sitting and glaring into thin air, and my mom or dad will ask what's bothering me, and i look over and say 'nothing' the reason i looked angry was because narcore my oc was pissed off at vayne, i wasn't mad but he was.

when i was younger i never wondered about why i did it, i just knew i have always done it, never knew it was not normal till i watched mirror mirror episode of house, that whole episode i felt like i was watching myself, in the patient.

now i wonder who i am.

i thought this might be part of autism or something.

NT's do this too, but to a much lesser extent.

I kind of think everyone does this to an extent. It's hard not to emulate things we see when we would like to be more like them.

Yes, I notice myself talking like others when I'm around them. I feel like I'm acting, like I'm not using my "real" voice.

but people do that on purpose, this happens to me randomly and beyond my control. i seem to take on their character when i least expect it. and i know i'm doing it but i can't stop.

i mimicked xemnas for 2 straight years untill i got 358 and dropped the series as a whole, except xemnas, i kept him as a fav character.

No. If nobody ever emulated anyone, why are we still speaking English? That would have phased out a thousand years ago.

This. I'm trying more to sound natural... whatever my natural voice is.

Emulating the world around you is normal, I think, so long as you don't take it too far. Don't drink your car off a cliff because you saw someone do it in a movie!

ok, i guess i feel better about it. i can't drive so i can't do it and i don't ever want to try.

I did that with Austin Powers a long time ago.
