When I read the title of the thread, my first reaction was "God no!" I definitely like and respect my T, but I do not want to be like her. I strongly prefer being who I am. I'm 20 years younger than my T, have a different profession,, a different sense of style, vastly different interests, and polar opposite taste in partners. As much as I like my T, I would not want her life! Sure, there is some overlap between us-- but we are more different than we are aimilar. I also enjoy having a strong sense of self. I like who I am and the life I've built, and I don't feel any desire to "be like" anyone else. If anything, maybe T can take some tips from me? ;-)
