Weird friend

my best friend copies almost everything I do and then takes it and brags about it/shares it with other people and tries to paint herself as this whimsy niche ultra interesting person. it is getting so annoying because now when I DO rarely share my interests with my other friends, they think I got into the interest because of her. I dont care about that because if I were introduced to my interests from her then cool but these are things i have liked my whole life and I just simply happen to not plaster my entire life and all my thoughts on my forehead everytime I meet someone new. I love my bsf so much but holy shit it feels like my identity is being stolen and used. It is even more annoying because when she goes and hangs out with other friends who are into more mainstream stuff (no judgement from me im not a freak who cares about what the hell ppl like), she acts totally different and acts like my interests are weird. I cannot do anything or express any interest in LITERALLY anything to her without her saying she loves it too even though shes NEVER talked about it before. We have been friends for 10+ years, we should and do have a lot in common, but we also have sooo many things that are different and I wish she'd let it stay that way instead of mooching off of every little thing i ever do or say
