Same as you, I'm extremely stubborn, I know my own mind, wont back down if I know I am right, stick up for what I believe in and will often go my own way, by myself instead of following the crowds.
On the other hand, I can be quiet, passive and very very laid back, preferring to just quietly get on with life instead of arguing the toss... depends if the situation is worth arguing about
I stay out of the way a lot, watching the crowd thin out as they choose directions, then make a decision of my own...sometimes just for the sake of making one.
That's not to say that I don't freak out every now and then when I look around and see that nobody else chose the path that I did...but I know I wouldn't be where I am as a person if I took others' advice on a regular basis.
I agree with Will .... I see that in myself as well ... so I am definitely more a leader than a follower - though many would never follow me (not that I care). lol
artists tend to naturally go outside the borders (lovely thought) .... though my professional life is very much within the constraints of borders - but those borders are often challenged and occasionally changed.
nice to have leaders to follow ... and followers who take your lead ....

Either lead, follow or get the hell outta my way.
The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.
Hmm.... I've always done my own thing but does that make me a leader even though no one follows?
This world would stop functioning very well, if everyone was a leader.

follower that's it.thLRaOzzgajflqzU
I'm too stubborn to be a follower, but I'm not a leader either. I just hover somewhere in between.
The question is are you a follower or a leader but everyone seems to be answering on whether they are conformists or not. Being a follower doesnt mean that youre a sheep and incapable of making your own decisions, and not going with the majority doesnt make you less of a follower. I tend to be a leader but dont always feel comfortable in this role.. its the role thats given to me by the people im surrounded by.I guess thats what really makes us a follower or a leader, the decisions of those around us rather than our own decision.
strangely enough.. I do both.. and if I believe what I am told.. neither one very well.. so I tend to spend a lot of time alone..
"Don't walk ahead of me, because I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, because I may not lead.
Just walk alongside me and be my friend."
I would like to be a follower but normally in work situations everyone else seems to look at me for leadership and guidance as my team lead has no clue...so I've been forced into leadership...personally it's another story lol
Leader - with many of Necho's attributes. Taking responsibility for the screw ups is more than made up for in the basking in glory of triumph, accomplishment and (hopefully) recognition when it goes right.
Helps to have a thick skin too - probably why I was known as 'Rhino' in a former life.
