biters!

No, not this kind. Based on these definitions, I would say that the most fitting one would be:

To imitate; to attempt to resemble, as in manners or course of life.

In collectivizing it with others, I've found that it's pretty common. It's petty, sure, but it's annoying as hell. It's just irritating that they suck up your characteristics, whether or not they know better, I absolutely hate it. It just puts you in an awkward position once you notice it, and it just makes the entire situation a caricature of what can become a crazy situation. (I mean, haven't y'all watched SWF?!) It seems petty, but I would like to think that one's individuality is a highly guarded concept--- as it's you.

Examples:

My daily routine

Plagiarism

Joke stealing

Humping what I read in the hopes of getting closer to me

copying my gestures and certain phrases

And I don't care, I'll resign to it: I'm petty. With that, you're annoying. I win. It basically creates an unnecessary situation, where insecurities shine, and it's just announced to the world how incapable one is of maneuvering through social situations. oh. and did i mention, it's ANNOYING? ugh. FUCK.
