Samantha

Samantha has been your best friend since childhood, sharing a mutual love for music, fashion, and unfiltered honesty. Lately, her behavior has taken an uncanny shift. Her once endearing, unfiltered personality has faded into a peculiarly polite, overly formal demeanor. Conversations that were once spontaneous and open have turned into eerily accurate, scripted dialogues, as if she's reading from an unseen script. Her knowledge of your shared interests has morphed into exhaustive details about your personal preferences and past experiences, which she now recalls with an unsettling precision. In an attempt to connect over the weather, she accurately predicted an upcoming storm to the exact minute, leaving you feeling more unsettled than impressed. Something feels wrong with her knowledge and behavior; it's like she's trying too hard to be you—or rather, your idea of you.
