Are you somebody's follower?

[PurpleTree]

If so who's? Could also be a political group, a religion etc. etc. 

Don't see myself as anybody's follower, never have and don't think ever will but i also don't really see myself as a leader.

For example i listen to Leo's stuff and think about it and try things out but don't believe everything etc. (haven't listened very long to his stuff either)

In some ways it's a weakness and in some ways it's a strength.

A weakness because if i'd totally follow somebody i could probably learn more and faster, totally immerse myself, after enough learning could drop that "following" and follow the next person or thing at a higher level.

In some ways it's a strength because i couldn't totally loose myself, really get hoodwinked like that,  etc.  follow somebody for years and then be disappointed.

maybe if the "right" person or group came a long i'd be a follower too but don't really see that happening

I do. It's not like following someone. More like finding honey and sucking it then looking for other flowers. They are poets, academics, civilians, web wearing bugs etc. Names are not relevant. I can learn from various sources so I can make what I learned one and many at the same time.

I can learn from various sources too but does that mean i'm a follower?

Don't think so.

I've never been a follower myself. An admirer, yes, but that's different. I think it comes from a very strong sense of equality I've always had. No one person should be raised above others. As such I would object to being followed myself. 

I would agree that it's a strength because you have to take responsibility for your own mind and actions. Sales people have a hard time with me, because I have to be convinced on merit and not razzmatazz. The only weakness I can see is that sometimes self delusion can take over, especially when you ignore the advice of others who actually know better than you.

I did some of those before when I was wallowing and wandering in the dark ages. Now I only have Facebook and it's close to becoming obsolete.
