<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

I'm in my 40's (F). My neighbor and friend is 30F.

We are not THAT close. But we take care of each other's pets on vacation.

I started a pallet wood business back in August. A few months later, she came to me, asking me if I'd be willing to take her to go look for pallets. (I didn't have any pallets, just lumber). I was like ??? But I took her.

Then she starts asking me all kinds of questions - how to do this. How did I do that, etc, etc. I am kind of like?? Because I am self taught. I learned everything myself either on the computer or through Facebook pallet pages.

She made a whole bunch of things to use as Christmas gifts, and we are FB friends, so I saw everything that she made. She even made a few things for friends. We have a lot of mutual friends. I feel like she is trying to be me. And I hate it.

Today, she came over and asked if she could have some of my lumber and also asked more questions. How did I do this and that. I am like. I am trying to be nice, but I can't decide what she's doing. I kind of feel like she might have a personality disorder where she tries to be like other people because she has no sense of self. And it bothers me.

But I really want to have a good and loving heart. One of my favorite quotes is "The meaning of life is to learn your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away." 

But I seem so upset and irritated at her. Is it me or is it her? And if it's me, how can I teach myself to be more compassionate or what words can I use to tell her to essentially back off or do I need to suck it up and use this as my "teaching moment"? Any advice is appreciated.
