Why does she do this?

[TwinkleWings]

Would others be pissed off my this?

I have a friend who does this really annoying thing of repeating what I've just said in a stupid exaggerated voice. So for example if I was talking in a group and someone asked the group if they like Game of Thrones and I said "oh I love game of thrones!" She would parrot "l LOVE game of Thrones" taking the piss out of the way I've said it. It's normally when I've said something with enthusiasm or feeling (so could be something negative too). Or if I laugh at something she will repeat that laugh that I've done back to me but really exaggerated.

I have noticed her doing it to maybe one other person but not everyone. I find it really rude and it pisses me right off because it stops me in my tracks when I'm talking and makes me self conscious that I've sounded like a twat and that's why she's repeated in in a piss takey way.

I'd just laugh and say 'Why do you always repeat what I've said in such a sarcastic way, friend? It's just like we've not left school!'

She's being a tit. Look at her blandly and ask her calmly to repeat herself.

God she sounds tiresome. That would fuck me right off. She is being rude and immature and no doubt if you pull her up on it will act as if it's no big deal you're being the fun police and unreasonable - but you aren't, she is being a nob. She is belittling you.

To start with I would ignore the sarcasm and every time she does it just say, its amazing you always exactly agree with me word for word and I love your enthusiasm on the subject, then continue talking to someone else. If she continues then just tell her to stop, its rude immature and makes her look like a bitch.

I think some of you have got the sum of her in terms of how she'd react if I brought it up in front of others (ie just having "a laugh", make out I'm being OTT and sensitive in fact I can hear her now going "alright TwinkleWings!" as she rolled her eyes and laughed, looking towards other friends to check for their reassurance the she's right." But if brought up in private she would be reasonable and say "oh sorry I didn't realise, I was only having a joke with you but yes I can see why it might bother you so I'll stop"

I'll probably have a word if she does it again though as it does massively get my back up. It's not funny, no one else finds it funny, it interrupts the flow of the conversation, it makes me second guess myself in terms of worrying I actually sounded like a twat.

As a pp said much earlier, look blank and ask her if she's a parrot.

'Look, I know I'm really interesting and have lots of great things to say, but you don't need to repeat what I'm saying. People had already heard what I said'
Or
'Thanks for repeating. I had no idea what I just said. Pleased it was worth repeating though'

The next time she does it, ignore, then contact her later, text maybe:

'Friend I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I (and others) are noticing how much you repeat the ends of sentences. It makes you sound quite bitchy, and insecure, and I hope that if there's something I've done to offend you you would be able to talk to me about it. However if this is a genuine verbal tic (perhaps read up about 'echolalia' which is linked to Tourettes, someone mentioned this to me and what you do does sound like this?) then I would also like to think you could talk to me about it and perhaps we could find different ways to interact which would help you with this? Please take this in the spirit that it is meant, I would not be saying this if it weren't now so noticeable in company'.

Next time she does that just say, " no don't do that...It's rude!"

YABU for not calling her up on it. It doesn't have to be a massive thing.

So when she parrots you, just 'alright, parrot, think everyone heard me'

or when she mocks your laugh ask 'is something funny?'

If she gets upset with you then she's not a friend, no matter how hard you try and convince yourself. Friends don't bring you down, they build you up.

But a 'good friend' wouldn't make you feel like this. Having to hold yourself back when speaking, watching what you say, making you feel self conscious.
How is this behaviour of a good friend?

If she's any friend of yours she would at least try to cut it out if she knows it upsets you.

Personally it does sound like she's undermining you. It happens every time you meet? Just when you start relaxing? So you can never relax around you friends. Wow. That's bitchy.

What FizzyGreenWater says is great but I highly doubt it's a tic or anything:-

Friend I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I (and others) are noticing how much you repeat the ends of sentences. It makes you sound quite bitchy, and insecure, and I hope that if there's something I've done to offend you you would be able to talk to me about it. However if this is a genuine verbal tic (perhaps read up about 'echolalia' which is linked to Tourettes, someone mentioned this to me and what you do does sound like this?) then I would also like to think you could talk to me about it and perhaps we could find different ways to interact which would help you with this?

I think she's undermining you because she can and because she sees you as down the pecking order. The problem with people like these, I find, is that if someone calls them out on their bitchiness then they're either too dense or too full of themselves to resolve it, or they may seethe inside about your comment to them or take it on board once, then forget about it.

If you speak to her calmly over a coffee about it (make it casual) there's no room for her to misunderstand what you're saying. It is confrontational but sometimes that's the best way to be, then you clear the air.

I'll definitely say something next time she does it. Not in a formal manner because we don't have that sort of relationship and would be weird. But I'll definitely pull her up on it.
