Are You a Leader?

[Cuchulainn]

I'm gonna be bluntly honest that this entirely depends on how lazy I'm feeling. I'm a trail blazer, I don't do things the expected way and in many regards this makes me a leader because people will follow my example. However, if I'm feeling lazy, I guarantee I will sit back and let someone else develop a headache or at least I do until I get bored of being lazy and end up doing things right.

Every time I read your posts I hear David Brent's voice.

What's with all these smurfing questions all ovasudden woman.


I'm neither a leader nor a follower. I looked around, seen what utter twats the human race was, and opted out. People are idiots. Even so some people insist on hanging around. A surprising number when you consider what a flagrant I am. I dont take them anywhere. They just hang around and I've no idea why. Sometimes I'm glad they do. I suppose they're good people. I'd take a bruise or two for them.

Curiosity :shiny: (also I was bored)

If there is no one to lead the weak and ignorant than they will continue to be weak and ignorant until they or someone else decides to take initiative.

I'd like to think when I bother to care enough, I'm an instigator, initiator, who gets people to do things by doing them myself and without having to tell them to do something. I wish I did this more often because I'd rather not dictate anything or have something be undone, or unlearned.

I know what people mean about not wanting to make decisions -- it's rough. A part of being a leader is knowing you'll have to take most or all blame if something goes wrong even with something as simple as deciding where to eat, so I've opted for the "do what you want" mentality for those situations and by "do what you want" basically always people assume I mean I want you to actually do this, but I want you to decide the correct course of action for yourself and they'd be right.

I never or rarely follow...anyone. I also pretty much make a decision on something and do it. I've no idea what that makes me. I've definitely taken the lead in many many circumstances but I've never wanted it or never enjoyed it because, as I've said, people are mostly dicks.
