What are you among your Friends ; A leader or follower ?

I don't want to be a leader but looking up on my circle of friends, they tend to rely on me more. They usually follow me in everything I want or wish. They want me to be their voice in some instances. So I guess I'm the leader among my closest friends. But I don't consider them as my subordinates. I treat them equally. I'm just glad they're listening to me and value my opinion so much. shadow41

Hi Mdaazam, My friends look at me as a leader. They've been used to me being an initiator and innovative enough to make any project or event successful. But i am a good follower too, a good team player. I always give my best in everything i do --as a leader and more so as a follower.

Me and my wife have only a few friends that we hang out with now since most of our friends were jerks,and when we hang out with them I would say I am normally a follower because I will just stand back and let others decide things like what to do or where to go,but sometimes I will be a leader especially if I have a good idea for something to do or if no one wants to be the leader,and when I was younger I was always a follower I always stayed back in the crowd,and I always let my friends tell me what we were going to do because I did not like making decisions because I was afraid someone would tell me my ideas were stupid,or that no one would listen to me,I still am sometimes but not as bad especially since my wife makes me feel better about myself.

I think of myself as more of a leader, but among my intimate group of friends, I consider myself the "wild child." As most have children and families, I don't, so my activities are considered a bit strange and a topic of conversation.

I am a reluctant leader - I never intend to be anything but a follower, but often I find myself in a situation where there needs to be a leader, and reluctantly I realize I'm probably the best suited to the task.

I hate being a leader, To many responsibility. But i also hate when someone bossing around. I like to do everythings on my own way alone. Not that i don't need a friends. It's just... when things come to a group, and i must do some work with them, i usualy broke out and do the job alone. It hapend many times when I was still at school. But sometimes, when my leader is a good one, i can go with the flow and it work well.

It all depends on the friend. I prefer and give and take situation. It would be nice to have a mutual relationship. No leader, and no follower.

i'm more the follower type than a leader. i think it's just frustrating to think about such things whenever i'm in the company of my friends. the key is to compromise in every decision that needs to be made.

Well, among my friends neither of us are called 'leader'. There isn't always the same person who 'leads', I could say we are all equal in this position. Sometimes someone leads, then the next the other leads, it depends on who has a better idea for an activity. I think having someone 'lead' all the time isn't healthy. There should be a time when you lead, and there should be a time when you should learn to follow.

I tend to be a leader and I really don't like it, sometimes I would much rather be a follower. I get tired of being the one everyone looks to for decisions about what we're doing or where we're going - I am so sick of people asking me 'what's the plan?' Sometimes it's nice to have the final say in where we eat and things like that but most of the time I would much rather people just tell ME what to do!

In our group we all have a special bond and thinking which means we don't have a fixed leader and so we are more flexible like that way. Depending on the situation we have a leader who is more experienced in that matter. We make decisions together rather than enforcing them on someone else.

You know, I never bothered with worrying about who was the leader or follower. I pretty much always did my own thing. In school that made me kind of a loner, and sometimes that is a lonely place to be, like being on the outside looking in. But after school I found that sometimes it makes me the leader, and surprises me that people are following.

I'm not sure that I am either really, I kind of follow my own way and if that is with someone else, or if someone else follows me, then so be it. You would have to ask my friends if they see me as one or the other I suppose. I think my 'label' in my group is the funny one, and the arty one. I guess thats a role in itself which is neither follower or leader.

My chineese horoscope states that I have a leader personality, I find that it is generally true, unless I am hanging out with other people my age. Then it is just as easy to let them make the decisions. I find that I am ready to step in and lead if it is necessary, but would just as soon not. I dont strive to be the leader.

I can't exactly say that I am a leader or follower among my friend, maybe sometimes be a leader and sometimes be a follower...it will depend the games that we play...if you are good at this game, you will be leader...but I surely believe that somebody really borned with leader, they know how organize your team building even in the first begining....I am not the people like this I think,,,so in the most of time, I will be a follower...thanks and happy mylotting

Well, I guess I'm just a member. But as I see, in my circle of friends, we are all just members because no body is acting like he's the boss or the leader of the group. We just treat each other equally.

Among my friends and family both, I have always been a leader. i was never one to follow the crowd. If you show that you are in control of a situation and know what to do, people will generally follow you. That is the way that it happens with me anyway. It doesn't bother me to be a leader in some situations, but it is not a job that I seek out.

Is very hard to be a leader among your friends, I think that no one should be a leader or a follower just a friend.

i am a leader i think if you try to follow someone you try more to be like that person just be your self and you will be a leader

i think that there too is a lot of politics in friendship. You may be unaware but there always is a leader and some get to be the follower.
