I have this thing that bothers me a lot and I'm not sure if it's serious or not. I call it an Echo. Well, I call myself an echo, more accurately. That's the only thing I can think to call it. I have this problem with copying people. I don't notice when I do it, but eventually I realize that I copied it from someone else.
Example: I've sung my whole lives, and of course I've had stage fright, but I've never had a problem with shaking until after I saw my grandmother sing when I was around 10 and ever since Then, I shake really bad when i sing now. I can't control it.
I also saw my mom take apart her Arby's sandwich and reput it together and now I can't eat at Arby's without taking my sandwich apart. Same happens because I saw my cousin eat her burger upside down and now I do it to. Again, I barely notice that I do it.
In middle school, my friend cut herself and I began doing it as well. I eventually convinced myself that I did it because I was depressed, but I realize now that that's not true.
And today, my boyfriend told me he was depressed and all day I've felt sad and kept asking myself, am I depressed too?
Anyway, I've noticed many other things I've copied and I cAnt stop myself from doing it. Is this a mental disorder?
Thanks.
