More often than what I would consider the "norm," people make reference to the similarities between my personality and their own. This is usually expressed as "Oh, I know why so-and-so likes you so much! It's because you are just like me." Or, "We are SO much alike." Or, "Oh my gosh, girl, we have the same personality!"
Let me just come out and say that nine point eight times out of ten, this is absolutely untrue and inconceivable from my standpoint. I typically have nothing in common with these people. This leads me to one narcissistic and terrible conclusion: these people secretly want to be like me, so they just pretend like they share my traits.
Who can blame them?
Today I came home to a husband whose beard had been modified to resemble the facial hair of one Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. It was weird and I am still getting used to it. OH! And he calls them "pork chops."

I am proud to say that you are an awesome exception to the rule : )
It's just a little insulting when some obnoxious and innane turd tells me that we are practically the same person.
