I think of it as a complement. When I was little my sister copied everything I did - and it really did my head in. My parents explained to me that it was only because she wanted to do things as well as I could do them and that I was helping her learn. It didn't seem quite so bad then.
I think of it in the same way now. Sometimes it means that I don't get credit if someone nicks my idea but I don't seek that anyway. If someone outright copies what I do/wear/say/buy then I don't comment on it but I definitely think of it as commending my taste
