Leader or Follower...

zaichikarkyThat's one question asked to a lot of people to try to learn a little about themselves. Some think it's disgraceful being a follower, or some think negatively about people being a leader.
But is it possible to be neither? I've been trying to decide for a couple years what group I'd fall under, and can't quite put a finger on it. I don't think I'm a leader OR a follower. I like to go at my own pace, and not let people interfer with what I want to do.
For instance, today , during the Spring Lake thing, I felt a little out of place. Everyone had their pairings they were glued to. Wei-Chen and Matt, Kanoe and Le, Noriko and Po-Hsiangmon. Well, I was out of place XD. So I was by myself a bit, and didn't try to glue myself to anyone. When the whole group decided to go one way for a walk, I decide to go by myself another way. I've always been a bit of a social outcast, never really "following the crowd". So that doesn't make me a follower.
As for a leader? Well, I don't know. I think I'm more a leader than a follower, but I don't like conducting people in what they have to do. I believe they shouldn't have to listen to me if they don't want to, and are stupid if they ignore my advice : ). But yeah, I don't like forcing anyone or anything. I like watching out for myself and not others, allowing others to watch out for themselves too...
In other news, I wish Wei-Chen would have paid more attention to me and not her boyfriend. I hate boyfriends. Actually, I hate all non-marital relationships in general. I'll probably get my first boy friend when I'm 30 or something XD.
