Are you a follower or do you lead others?

[Espresso-Grande]

Neither really.

I've certainly never been a follower. Even as a small kid I wasn't influenced by other kids. I did what I wanted to do. I didn't do things just to fit in or want to be the same as them. I never encouraged people to follow me either. I have always been my own person.

If someone was ostrasized, hated or bullied by other kids, I'd stand up to the bullies and defend the person being bullied. While others turned a blind eye or joined in, I was always the one who would intervene. I'd help kids to fit in and befriend them if others ostrazised them. Most kids smoked or took drugs, but I never did. I was a popular kid , because I was assertive and feisty and stood my ground with people. I'm still that way today.

I'm not the sort of person who needs to feel accepted by anyone other than my family and close friends. They accept me for who I am.

[Elsa143]

I'm my own person. I don't follow anyone because I know what I like, I know who I am and what is my personality, choices, etc.
I have less interest on others business because I am busy doing my own. But I love to gather information sometimes without following them. I just wanna see how people act differently.

[coolhandroo]

In proud to say that depending on my competency in an area when compared to that of the field I can adjust to lead follow or get out of the way. There's so many people who think that it's appropriatte to be one or the other at all times. There's nothing less charismatic than a know it all dumbest leader full of confidence good of compretence nothing more wasteful than a skillful or talented person too afraid to speak up and be utilized and nothomg more annoying than someone who has no business in a situation who won't get out of the way of progress (like niche said: if you can't hit the nail on the head dont hit it at all) snd if you stay locked into any of the three categories it is inevitable that you will suffer the downfall of not knowing how you should fit into the team at the time.

[Psychoanalytical]

Neither.

I'm someone who tries to be honest with myself and others. If someone or something is worth following, I follow. If I should take the lead, I take it.

Life is a balance, being a follower or being followed are not wrong.. honesty with oneself is what matters.

[TheReturnOfTheGrump]

Lone wolf without a pack. I dont loke followinf other tho and won't really allow it and bejng treated bad. Id rather be independent and have my own routine and rules and i dont want anyone trying to control me or anything. If i get along with someone which is rare I make really good long term type connections and am a genuinely good caring type friend.

[MrOracle]

I've always been a leader - especially if I see a leadership vacuum, I naturally jump in and take the lead. When I worked in corporate America, I rarely did the job I was hired to do, because I took the initiative to do other things and quickly became too valuable doing those things that they'd hire someone else to do my old job and create a position for me.

I've had my own companies for the last 20 years or so, which means I'm in charge (and also responsible for everything).

This carries over to my relationships. I'm a Dom and always the leader in the relationship. I'm not a jerk about it, but I am used to making decisions and I'm good at it, and a lot of people struggle making decisions, so they tend to defer to me anyway.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

This is strange abrevation of events derived from. everybody gets influenced by others but the thing is who is more dependent on others or their comfort zones and the effort they wanna put into something and the person who is more individualistic and can force their Will

[dandee55]

When I was young, I was a follower (introverted), but after I was in the military, I became more of a leader.
On the job, even when you are a leader, you're also a follower (unless you own the company).
When it comes to opinions, you have to follow your heart, and MY heart follows God's leading.

[iFarted]

It depends on what is happening and what I'm doing. If I'm confident in what ever it is then I'll lead if I don't see anyone else that's comfortable doing so. If someone is skilled and wants to lead then I'll follow but I'll throw in some advice if I don't think they're doing a very good job.
I'll never be someone who will keep quiet and follow someone's lead if they're wrong.

[Shamalien]

I am a born leader and no matter how much I've tried in my insecure past to be a follower, I could never fall in line properly, I'm just not good at following orders, but I'm great at getting groups of people to get along and work towards a common goal.

[prince350]

Most women, over 80%, are blind followers. And of TV, no less - no concept the TV is all made up.
People by and large actually BELIEVE they live in the Matrix!!
No one smart enough to say 'I'm calling the cops' when some a-hole drugs dealer tells them, in all seriousness a liar musters up - you must choose between the red pill and the blue one.
I take paracetamol (and shove the rest down the a-hole's throat)

[Arivor]

I create my own groups and as a leader... I don't create more followers. Furthermore, I create more leaders to do the same. I don't tell my newly created leader what to think… just to get them to think for themselves.

[Guffrus]

Its monkey SEE, monkey do and ironically it means to copy someone else but get it wrong because you dont understand the finer points of what is happening.

What you are doing may look or sound similar but crucial aspects are missing.

[Don-__-Don]

Neither really, I just trail off and do my own thing.

Along the way I do have a few people who I can consider "followers" though.

Just friends and family that want to pick up my healthy habits and I tend to show them the way.

[jamesgoldman]

I'm more of a solo operator

I know things that put money in my pocket from my years of self-education
It's why I am debt-free and own good jewellery

[_no_one_]

I lead mostly in any group activity given in class, and i like to lead and do planning and stuff and organise things. So i would consider myself as a leader.

[triff]

I try to treat everyone the same regardless of age or gender I don't like to lead others but try and help them find them self's

[_Troian_]

Well I never followed before and I don't like the idea of being a follower, I was always into idea of being a leader and administrative. I can say I am the guy who mostly decides on where to eat, drink and chill in my friend group.

[purplepoppy]

It's matter of knowing who to follow and who to lead. If your not prepared to be responsible for those who follow you then you shouldn't consider yourself a leader.

[madgoat]

I'm not much of a joiner but if I find someone going my way and they want to lead, I can follow in their wake to make things easier.

[glock33sig357]

I believe in carving my own path, I may learn from others wins & losses and see what I can use for myself but I follow no one nor do I intend to follow anyone.

[call_me_scar]

Depends on the situation if I don't know what I'm doing I'm not going to take the leaders spot as there may be someone more qualified but if I know what I'm doing I'm taking that spot

[serious]

By and large a follower (by choice) but with a mind and voice of my own.

[humanearth]

I beat to my own drum. I get marked as a weirdo, or something else.

And i am okay with that. Make your own path in life

[Melvinb6521]

I’m a leader. But all great leaders know when to follow.

[sheikalana]

I'm more of a follower but I've been told a few times in my life that I'm a Leader.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for me I’m a leader in life however from time to time I’m a follower when I choose to.

[modeve]

In-between. Sometimes I follow. at other lead, depending upon the situation and circumstances.

[WhiteGlaze]

I am more of a leader than follower but I am one to be okay with following someone that I think fits the group and helps the cause better if such does occur.

[Riddler1412]

I don't follow, but I don't like to lead.
If I do follow someone, that's usually someone who knows what they're doing.

[andreasderjuengere]

Not leading; not following.
I'm not interested in this kind of role play.

[Anonymous]

i like to follow if the person is leading us in the right direction. but i don't mind stepping up to lead if someone is gonna screw everything up. lol. Also, it's best to be a follower if the leader is a girl in leggings.

[Michael10158]

Everyone should be a leader or you can't think for yourself. Unless you are a woman with a moral, independent, mentally strong man, then you can follow him. Its just nature

[douride2]

I am not a leader or a follower. For the most part I do my own thing.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I don’t know. I’m not good at like advice, but... the ring’s not complex but it can be a little complicated.

[OddBeMe]

I have a type A working style. I’m introverted so maybe not the “leader” as often, but certainly do most of the work. Assholes.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Both. I am a leader but every leader also follows someone else for something

[Eleni079]

If I know what I’m doing I’ll take the lead if not I follow someone who knows what to do.

[Trooper205]

I'm a bit of both. I like to follow good examples, but I've found I'm a Leader as well. As the Firstborn in my Family, there are those I lead, but even my younger siblings are good examples, and I can follow them.

[scooogy]

I used to lead others during university, but in new contexts I tend to follow others.

[SumSimulits]

I am leader. Im captain of polish JWK special forces.

[Dave31989]

i follow in to the lead, as in, i eventually take over

[Lyndsielee666]

I got my own damn self in trouble with the law. No need to be a followers for that lmfao

[Iron_Man]

Why would I follow somebody that means I have no life A following sheep

[Jenom]

I'm neither. I lead myself and follow my own path.

[lovely_gem]

Neither, I’m a lone wolf

[nettle]

I'm not much of a leader

[Bad_Man55]

Always lead, refuse to follow.

[SunnySri]

I am more of a lone wolf kind of person, mam.

[I-have-a-biscuit]

I lead others.
Actual lead not included.

[Chuckywanaplay]

One thing sux about trying to be a leader! You get the job and find shit flows up hill.

[winterfox10]

I'm definitely a leader.

[candycandy02]

I am both. I follow, but i also lead.

[EssenceOfLight]

In regard of social media it's a herd instinct.

[Twalli]

I go my own way, it may be the same way as others

[AmeerX]

I follow my father. And I tend to lead others

[Anonymous]

I am off topic! I freakin love these ducks.

[myhaiva]

I hate leading, but I'll do it if I have to.

[Miyasee_]

I don’t go anywhere so

[Paulychicago10]

Definitely a leader. Kind of gets old fast.

[IAMNathanael]

I'm usually off doing my own thing

[Lizardman64]

Neither. Kind of a loner.

[uknown789]

nor lead nor follow sorry if i was rude

[iseekpinetrees]

Leader.
