Who else has or does Copy other people

NAS76713

I have copied people so I look more mainstream. 
The first time is when I was 7 years old. I couldn't read or write, so I watched how other children read all the books. Before long I had memorised all of the books.

when the girls played skipping or the clapping games I was not coordinated enough.

the girls didn’t include me in play they used to say, “don’t ask her she can’t skip, she’s know good at playing”. So I played on my own I felt more comfortable that way.

There have been many times I’ve copied others.

  • Look in to Mirror Neurons. It is still something being discovered and discussed. 

    It is a natural way humans learn. And it's not terrible :) For instance, the wealth of magazines which exist can help us find our own aesthetic. But the Library can help too. All humans need to learn how to get on in life. One can decide which things to excel at and which to just carry out the task on. Being shown how to wash a dish and what tools are the most useful for this is always helpful. There are a range of soaps and a range of brushes, sponges, etc. Some scours are too abrasive for certain pans, some sponges too soft. Some soaps aren't very good. This may seem like a simple task and why bother being too exact with it? But if you were shown a few secrets to a more efficient way to perform the task and the best and most cost-effective way to engage with it, it might shave off just a few extra minutes from your day, or make you feel a little more resolved with dish washing. Simple and silly example. But useful :)

    To add: We all learn by example. never underestimate the potency of a good mentor or the damage of a bad one. In other words, once I realised I might accidentally try to mimic the world around (whether doing it poorly or well), I began to choose what I would be surrounded by or influenced by.
