I put "à" because I am referring to myself.
What should I do, please?
Translation of the sentence: I do not resemble anybody except junior.

2I'm not quite sure what you mean by putting à... it would be helpful if you would include both versions of the sentence that you are comparing in your question. Thanks!– anonymous2 ♦Aug 16, 2022 at 13:55

1Not only does it not sound natural, but it's not correct and I don't understand what you mean. Could you add the English version of what you meant?– Teleporting GoatAug 16, 2022 at 13:59

2Personne ne me ressemble, sauf Junior. Dans cette tournure de phrase, le ne inclus (ou sous-entend) le …pas suivant et la virgule est nécessaire.– PersonneAug 16, 2022 at 14:18

I do not resemble anybody except junior.
Je ne ressemble à personne sauf à junior
Is this what you meant? What you wrote in the title is more like
Nobody looks like me except junior
but worth mentioning that as stated,
Personne ne me ressemble pas sauf junior
it is incorrect owing to the redundant « pas ».

Personne ne me ressemble pas sauf junior.
is very odd and, due to the double negative, literally means:
Nobody doesn't look like me but junior.
which can be simplified to:
Everyone look like me except junior.
Tout le monde me ressemble sauf junior.
That's the opposite of your expected meaning:
Personne ne me ressemble sauf junior.
Note also that naming someone (presumably your son) junior is also uncommon in France.
