One of my good friends, almost each and every time i tell him some stories of what happened today or something with girls....He will almost always find at least some way of relating to it. Like same thing happened to him in the past, except a different versions of mine.

ex: i tell him about a female telemarketer that i mistakeened for a friend, cause she had a really sweet voice. Then he'll bring up something happening to him similarly in the past, with a complete dialogue.

There are many other things that i've said where he relates to.

and there were other times where an old friend did that.

I'm sure not 100% of their stories are true, possibly faked or concocted at the moment.

do your friends ever do this?

Dont sweat it it just shows he respects your opinion of him, and wants to stay in the same level as you. Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

Ya I had one semi-friend/acquaintance like that. I think it's self-esteem problems but I'm not sure.

yes he does want to stay on the same level as me. but there are times where he "relates" that seems more like he's trying to compete with me. i know he does have certain self esteem issues...as avatar mentioned


If a friend tells me a story of what happened to him, ill just say "cool" or respond in a good manner. If i have no true stories to tell , then i wont.

He's trying to relate to you. If he's always trying to tell a better story in a more flamboyant and louder way, then that could be that he's trying to out do you. But if doesn't do those things, he's just trying to relate.

This is better than the silent guy that says WOW , COOL or nothing at all.

what are u a ****in wuss? competition is what gets a man ahead.

I can relate to this.

Yes, I have friends that copy my ****y/funny routeins and ways with women. Sometimes I even hear new stuff from them that is pretty good. It's a form of flattery afterall.
