Copycats and an advice
February 1, 2020 at 11:48 pm
Humans were noted to have "Mirror Neurons" that copy-cat other creatures' behavior:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_neuron
Quote:In humans, brain activity consistent with that of mirror neurons has been found in the premotor cortex, the supplementary motor area, the primary somatosensory cortex, and the inferior parietal cortex.[5] The function of the mirror system in humans is a subject of much speculation. Birds have been shown to have imitative resonance behaviors and neurological evidence suggests the presence of some form of mirroring system.[4][6]

I have been a victim of humans "copycatting" me as a form of causing me severe social damage.
When some humans fail to hurt you in the conventional ways, they might resort to hurting you socially; especially if you had social barriers to others.
Hurting one through mirroring every action they do, to the level of total frustration that can turn into a long path of depression, lack of going out, and losing people you know one by one due to gossip.
Copycatting is hard to explain, usually you will feel totally alone -especially if ex-friends are doing it to you-, you will begin seeing your own self sucked.
My advice to anybody facing social-copycatting: block the person doing it after making sure they are your enemies, fight your cravings for the past and move on. Ignoring the copycats is the only way to teach them a lesson; and make their neurons grow so tired of copycatting, don't give them attention because they feed on it and just like monkeys: they'll keep repeating the same attitude.

Your complaints about being teased have nothing to do with mirror neurons, which humans may..and may not, have.

What I mentioned in the OP isn't "teasing"; it is "bullying". If the people mentioned had the chance; they would've turn to physical damage. Being a bunch of cowards is what made them resort to this kind of bullying.
And take it as a rule: a coward who resorts to physiological damage so enjoys killing you slowly. That's why cutting all ties with this kind of toxic people is the solution.

Humans are not monkeys: even if they tried to act like one.
A human copycat needs a justification to use their mirror neurons; here it is to cause psychological damage.

Yeah, mirror neurons are not something you can opt to use or not use. You should read more about this topic before you make an even bigger jackass of yourself.

I cant believe how somebody is so monumentally misinformed, that even his ability to absorb new information is impared beyond recognition. I feel almost sorry for him.
I guess that is the result of a mindset which tells that you that whatever your interpretation of something you have read is, it is as valid as anyone elses´, if you know what i mean.
