This woman is not your friend. I would distance yourself from her.

I (F, early 20s) am looking for an objective opinion on whether I’m overreacting.

I’ve recently started feeling uncomfortable around a close friend (E) due to a repeated pattern of mirroring. We now have the same Instagram highlight name (I had it first). She has also started liking the same artists I’ve liked for years and buying the same makeup products I use. Additionally, she has begun imitating my accent, despite us being from different regions. ( im from NE india she from middle india ) She often posts flattering photos of herself alongside unflattering photos of me and asks me to repost them.

E recently started dating S, who is also my boyfriend P’s childhood friend. Initially, she openly said S was unattractive and below her standards, but after learning about his financial stability, she became interested and the relationship moved very quickly.

Around the same time, P and I had a disagreement and didn’t speak for one day, during which P and S were traveling together. Although P and I resolved the issue privately, E commented that I was upset because I didn’t receive texts since “they were busy,” speaking as if she had insight into my relationship.

Later, E experienced a personal issue. She shared it with my best friend (which was fine), but then directly messaged my boyfriend asking him to call her. While I was on a call with E, she ended the call to speak privately with my boyfriend and became emotional with him, despite being casual with me earlier. My boyfriend asked my permission before speaking with her.

I don’t distrust my boyfriend, but I feel uncomfortable with E’s lack of boundaries and her commentary on my relationship. I’m considering creating distance or seeking clarity.

AITA for feeling insecure and jealous in this situation?

TL;DR: A friend repeatedly mirrors my behavior and style, judged my relationship during a brief disagreement, and contacted my boyfriend for emotional support while cutting a call with me. I feel uncomfortable and want clarity or distance. ( if you want in depth version also let me know :)
