You Copied Me
It’s surprising how quickly “You copied me” appears in a child’s vocabulary. It’s one of the first phrases we learn to defend ourselves—not our bodies, but our ideas. A drawing, a turn of phrase, a knock-knock joke recycled too soon. The accusation is swift and cutting. To be copied is to feel seen—but in the worst possible way.
It’s a primal reaction to a perceived infringement on ones identity, creativity, and autonomy. Whilst imitation is essential for learning, as we develop our sense of self, we begin to guard our ideas as extensions of our identity.“You copied me” reflects a deep fear: that one’s uniqueness is being diminished or stolen.

Good day
