I really dislike my JerkAss uncle. My grandma often reminds me that I have some of the traits/habits I find annoying in him. It frightens me, I don't want to become a passive-aggressive, sexually frustrated 40-year-old basement dweller who can't take care of himself.

This troper's sister pounds on random nearby objects with her fists when she gets angry and/or frustrated. This troper should have been born a Vulcan, given her devotion to logic and keeping her emotions on a tight leash, but still sometimes hits things in the heat of the moment when she gets mad enough. This is always ''immediately'' followed by a wave of shame and self-loathing, because it means she's just behaved exactly like the sister she despises everything about.

This troper has argued that he despises 'car culture' in the past, then later became addicted to go-karting. He has also stated his hatred of 'free-loaders' doing 'useless' subjects like art, he now studies pure mathematics, possibly the most useless subject in the world. To round off the trio he often likes to say how much he hates hypocrites.

This troper is ashamed at the things she's done online, as it makes her realize that she's not so different from a Vitriolic Best Bud of hers that she hates for being such an ''annoying'' fangirl for the silliest of things. Looking at the flame wars and other ridiculous things this troper has participated in, she hates that those actions aren't so different, if not '''worse''' than her aquaintance's stupid gushing.

On another note, this troper wants to desperately berate said girl for the things she's been doing within the past few years. The girl hates her mother for cheating on her father and ruining the family (or something to that extent). What's funny is that said girl has a twisted sense of commitment, thinking it's okay to be in a threesome when you're romantically involved with someone and neither of the other two are them. Troper ''really'' can't wait for the day when she screws it all up so she can say this trope.

This Troper used to belittle his fellow male classmates for always dating younger girls, believing it to be a widespread plague of Cradle Robbery. I prided myself on always trying to date girls my own age...until I learned the girls my age tend to be more conceited and full of themselves. Now I've become the very thing I swore to destroy: an eighteen-year-old with a sixteen-year-old girlfriend.

Two years? You pedophile!

He is so not. He is an EPHEBOPHILE. (Seriously though, dude, you have my full support.)

It's okay dude, I dated a 17-year-old guy when I was 12. My bro dated a 14-year-old girl when he was 26. MayDecemberRomance is not bad.

Uh..... {{YMMV}} on that that last statement. The amount of {{Squick}} and Critical Research Failure that goes into 12 year olds dating 17 year olds, and 26 year olds dating 14 year olds is absurd, and those age differences are ''far, FAR'' different from a 18 year old and a 16 year old dating.

This troper met his former girlfriend whilst helping her recover from a rather traumatic event with her previous boyfriend. After some time had past she got over her hatred of him, (Partly due to this troper forcing him into a situation where he had to admit his faults to her and apologize like a man.) after this situation this troper kept speaking him over his instant messenger citing his reason for doing so as trying to keep as close to his girlfriend as possible through her friends. Over time resentment turned into disgust, and finally realization as he realized that they were Not So Different after all, in fact having a rather Red Oni Blue Oni contrast between them. This troper is currently broken up with his girlfriend but still maintains very good relations with her friend, unabashed at thinking of him as a brother.

This troper has had this trope thrown in his face twice in his life. The first was being compared to his father, which was basically true FromACertainPointOfView. The second was after he'd stopped a fight between his friend and the high school's resident JerkAss. Said jerkass- who had known this troper for years- invoked this trope, only to get a two word ShutUpHannibal in reply: "Not anymore." To the small crowd who saw it, the whole moment is considered a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for the troper, despite his objections.

This Troper's father is basically a cross between Dr. House and Gordon Ramsay, a sarcastic, anti-social, tempermental misanthrope that swears profusely when angry. This Troper's starting college, and has hit a few roadblocks because he is nearly constantly irritated by people around him, has a foul mouth, has a mean sarcastic streak longer than a football field, and doesn't like people in general. Not fucking pleased about this in the least.

When I suddenly realized that I'm annoying. One of the people at school is the most annoying person ever, but he isn't on purpose. One of the things he does is tell people about things that they don't care about or ever showed any interest in. I caught myself doing the same.

In a more serious version, when I found myself getting incredibly angry at stupid things and letting it build up instead of just letting it out, I realized I was turning into my Dad, who moved out of the house because of violence. Then my Dad gave up drinking, smoking and started scuba-diving as well as wallclimbing and other random sports, and basically becoming the most awesome person I'll ever have the joy of being related to, and I realized that being not so different from him wasn't so bad.

I often get annoyed at my brother for behavior that I used to show at that age.

This troper is rather indifferent to a certain classmate, and ostracizes him with the class, from the class. Every other day, he realizes that the 2 of us are remarkably similar in terms of personality, except that this troper is smart enough to use them to get friends in his class, while the unlucky classmate hasn't. Being a GenreSavvy ChaoticNeutral, something he's not, this troper refuses to do anything to help, because once he's no longer the class scapegoat, there's a pretty good chance this troper would wind up as the new one.

This troper got suddenly whole chain of those. First of all, there's an annoying classmate everybody dislikes – I realized how similar he is to the way I once were and how much we have in common after our first talk, but couldn't stand him anyway. He actually made me realize how much annoying I was. I was trying to help him, until his irritating, perverted and sexist behavior didn't make me quit on him like everybody else. Once I was talking about how bad person he is with bunch of other guys, despite my dislike towards people who tells worse things behind the back, but will never have a balls to tell it to person in question straight in the face. Next time the guy actually irritated me, I delivered angry ReasonYouSuckSpeech to him, just to prove myself I'm different than them. And then I realized that, among other things, I told him to “grow up” which is argument I deeply hate.

Me and my sister thought we were very different, and we never got on, but one night we actually had a conversation with eachother and we realised that we were NotSoDifferent and would have realised that sooner if we actually talked to eachother

Zadia really hates her sister. We have very different tastes in music, books and tv shows with only a few crossovers, but apparently we do look a little similar and we sound so alike that our friends cannot tell us apart over the phone (and often our family can't either). I've realised that we are more similar than I'd like- but we are still different. Thank God.

ThisTroper never got along with a girl in most of her classes. In our American Goverment and Politics class, we discovered that both of us are liberals, both of us are bisexuals, and now we even work at the same place. We get along slightly better now, but not much...

Rare positive example: one of This Troper's closest friends often has fights and arguments with him, but our realizing/acknowledging that we're NotSoDifferent keeps us so close. More recently, a variation of this was used negatively: after the friend in question realized that he, a Christian, and This Troper, a Unitartan Universalist, considered each other AcceptableReligiousTargets, he claimed that This Troper was the closed-minded one of the two, despite it being obvious that he's just as bad as (if not worse than) This Troper. This Troper never called the friend out on it, but our friendship is slowly dwindling...

This Troper also had an inversion with his Ex-Girlfriend while they were still going out. As it turns out, our political, religious, and even views on romance, were opposite. We broke up a few weeks later, but we remain best friends.

Despite a youthful attitude of 'my mom is a total prep who wants me to be just like her, but I'm totally not and she can't make me,' this troper has, in the last few years, realized how much like her mother she has become. Honestly, it's not necessarily a bad thing, either. My mother was a much better person that 13-year-old me ever realized.

This overlaps with StopBeingStereotypical. This Brazilian troper has met an InternetToughGuy which hates Brazilians for being uneducated/stupid/prejudiced/etc, all of this while he behaves exactly like the [=Straw Brazilian=] he set up: obnoxious behaviour, from posting all-caps walls of text to behaving like the strawmen he hates, when he complains on "how Brazilians are obnoxious". Error-filled posts when he complains that "we" are dumb.

I hate my mother thanks to seventeen years of neglect and emotional abuse. Over the past few years I've realized that we're actually a lot a like: we're both workaholics with bareley any friends, we both have hidden anger issues, and we both hate our mothers. I've even started developing the same habits as her, like staying up working and falling asleep at my desk, and pacing when I'm frustrated. That's only scratching the surface, but I still think it's a little creepy.

This troper's mother likes to tell her how similar she is to her father, and she is not amused. The man is emotionally abusive, has temper problems, and a tendency to yell. This troper may be a slight Tsundere (Type B, mind you) but she has never yelled at anyone, and she hopes to keep it that way.
