I'm eighteen years old, and I'm basically a follower. If real life were a video game, I'd totally be a support character. I'm very good at being backup, being there for people and sacrificing my own wants or needs for theirs. I'm also very good at following orders and respecting seniority. I have been my entire life. I always think about other people first. I follow people the majority of the time. If my friends and I, say, go to the mall or something, I prefer following behind them. I don't know why, it's just how I am!
It's not to say I can't lead. I guess I'm sort of a lazy leader, in a way. If a situation arises where there are all followers amongst us, I'll take the lead if I have to. But if anyone else wants to lead I'll follow them.
A follower is always described negatively... Is it really all that bad to be a follower? I mean, without us, leaders would have no one to LEAD, right? Thanks for your time. :D (link)

Being a follower does not have to be a bad thing. It can be a good thing. It all depends on who you follow and what they do. If you like being a follower choose a leader that has same values or morals. Like if your religious and you like a person beliefs. Be a follower at his church. If you have friends who have been in trouble with the law. is that a path you want to follow. It is not an easier choice. If you want to be a follower, and not a leader, choose a leader that is helpful not hurtful.

Thank you very much, I think you're right. I should be wary of who I follow, so I don't end up hurting myself. Thanks again! :DD
