Imitation is only flattery when it was made for everyone or a certain person is using it when you specifically made it for that person. If it was only supposed to be for you, it's not flattery. It's being a bitch. amirite?
@428284 (Hah): Blah, apparently I worded it wrong. I did kinda have trouble wording it.
The thing is, imitation is only good when it's not something that doesn't want to be imitated.
Like, you tell someone "You should really use (blah blah blah!) in there. I did it too!" and they do it. That's when it's good.
But, if you tell someone "This is my idea, I made it for myself!" and they imitate it, that's when it's bad because it wasn't meant for them.
That didn't make sense. Way to fail at generalizing your situation.
