I don't think I said anything that bad but I don't know how sensitive she is. I'm really worried and I want to have a good vacation so I just want to make sure I can't get into trouble.

This girl was posting things on Facebook that were very similar to things that I have posted. She seems to have the same views and values that I do. She would post stuff about the same TV shows that I watch. And it seems that whenever I started liking something a few days later she would post the exact same thing even though she never showed an interest in these things before I posted.

She also posted That she liked a breed of dog I had just gotten a couple of days before. She did not mention me at all. She just said she liked those dogs.

She has a mental illness that can cause her to want to be like someone else.

I was half asleep when I was online last week and she had just posted about hardly waiting for it to be fall, when I had just posted several things about it a few days ago.

It really upset me and angered me. I want to be my own person. I don't want someone trying to be like me. I just find it really frustrating and offensive. I don't want people to compare me to her. I just want to be myself.

I sent her a PM asking her not to copy me and that it was offensive and triggering. I told her that I know her mental Illness causes her to want to copy other people, but that it was upsetting me. I told her "you need to find your own values and find your own sense of self instead of trying to be someone else."

She did not respond, but blocked me.

Other people have told me that she does stuff like that to them and that she is very creepy and stalkerish and that they do not want anything to do with her. So Its not just me. But the things she posted were very similar to things and hobbies I enjoy. I talked to my mom after the dog incident and my mom thought that was very odd of her.

I can't get into legal trouble can I? Like if she does something? I haven't contacted her since. I don't think I said anything ilegal to her did I? Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned her illness. I just kind of lost it after dealing with it for awhile.

Probably the best thing to do would of just deleted her.

No. You expressed yourself to her in a negative way, and it sounds like you're not 100% sure she was copying you? But what you said/did is not illegal. Don't even worry.
Thanks for this!

No. You didn't say anything to get you in trouble. Maybe it's a good thing that she blocked you so you don't keep getting upset. Have you blocked her? Best wishes.
Thanks for this!

Being rude to people isn't breaking the law in most instances.

In this case, you can't get into legal trouble.

However, I feel like you were a bit harsh to her. So what if she was copying you? She didn't do anything wrong. Are the things you posted copyrighted by you? If not, than she has every right to post them if she so chooses.

Maybe try to be more understanding towards people in the future?
Thanks for this!
