Ocean City, NJ USA neither, I do my own thing Melodi, 19
Gahanna, OH USA In general, I'd say that I am a follower--but that is a rough, rough generalization. Truthfully, I'm neither. I'm generally alone in most things I do, and if I follow it's not out of conformity but out of a desire to get things done without conflict. (This is the same reason I try to do things alone; that's the best way to make sure things get done without conflict.) Johanna, 18
OK USA More of a leader...I was blessed (or cursed, as it seems at times) with a dominant personality. Angela, 18
Bella Vista, AR USA I TRY TO BE A LEADER BUT AT TIMES I WONDER WHAT I REALLY AM DOING. Marci, 56
Diamond, OH USA Both, but probably more often a follower. Dianne, 17
Ontario CANADA Leader. Laura, 36
Lowell, MA USA A leader, unless I make a conscious effort to be a follower. Jane, 62
West Linn, OR USA I lead when I know what I'm doing, and follow when the problem falls in one of my many fields of monumental ignorance. Jill, 60
Saylorsburg, PA USA Atleast I act like I should be a leader.. hehehe Ry, 23
NYC I usually sit on the fence. I can be content to follow for a while and then I'll bust out and be a leader. That's in leaisure. At work I gotta be a leader, I hate being a follower. It's too restrictive Jaden, 21
Brampton, Ontario CANADA I try not to be a follower, and I am not in most aspects of my life... but don't try to "lead" others along my path, I just want to be left alone to do my own thing basically. Maggie, 22
Sandwich, IL USA 80% leader, 20% follower Felicia, 35
Lowell, MA USA
I'm with Frodo; it's not easy answering your own questions! I suppose I'm more of a leader than a follower. There were very few times while I was a teen (and even as an adult) when I fell victim to peer pressure...in fact, I always thought it was kinda weird to want to do something just cuz everyone else was doing it. This doesn't necessarily qualify me as a leader mind you....but out of the two options here, I am definitely not a follower.
Fisch, 46Preston, CT USA Follower. Firelady, 23
Dallas, TX USA I think, in general, I'm more of a leader. I don't want to be but my husband is a darn good follower so when I married him, SOMEONE had to be the leader or our marriage would fall apart and as I had had the most experience (my mother was a leader) the task fell to me. At work I can't really be a leader as I have been hired to be a follower. Right, Lerch? Reba, 50+
Silver Spring, MD USA I do both. I'd like to think of myself more as a leader, but I certainly don't hesitate to jump on the bandwagon if I believe in what someone else has initiated. I am capable, though, of avoiding bandwagons with which I disagree. For example, I avoided putting an American flag on anything I owned during this time of intense patriotism. While I'm certainly against terrorism, I'm also certainly against bombing Afghan civilians. Eric, 19
Beverly Hills, CA USA Follower Talia, 24
Wilton, CT USA No doubt about it i am a leader, even when sometimes i should be following. Nicole2, 20
FL USA I guess I am more of a follower, even though I am forced into the leadership role more often than I would prefer. I do not like being in the lead of anything with which I'm not completely familiar and comfortable. I would rather be part of the herd. Aaron, 22
VA USA No. Karen, 22
Marshalltown/Ames, IA USA 'm a leader. I like being able to make decisions. Celeste, 30
Colorado Springs, CO USA I am a leader. Even if I am not the designated leader, I wind up putting in more than my 2 cents worth. Janet, 44
E. Brunswick, NJ USA follower Patty Follewer. Still, Im coming out of my shell bit by bit. Derya
