Migraine Awareness Month #16 - Lead, Follow, or Get Out of the Way


Well, I guess I never really considered myself to be a leader.  I'm too scared of failure.  I'm not much of a follower either as I don't like people telling me what to do.  I am very stubborn and stuck in my ways of doing things.  So, maybe "get out of the way" is more my type.  I have always wanted to do things on my own without anyone interfering.  Working alone is where I feel most comfortable and confident.  I work well in teams and find it better to be the first to suggest ideas than to sit and wait for someone else to pitch theirs.  I am very democratic but would rather not be a part of it.  You can say that I am a loner and I am very much wrapped up in my own head.  Being a leader isn't something that I see myself becoming intentionally.  I don't like feeling responsible for others' success because I would put way too much pressure onto myself.  I never fare well under pressure.  I wind up imploding in on myself and being way too critical of my capabilities.  At the root of it all, I'm just a scared girl who wants to be good at everything and fail at nothing.  I can't bear letting people down or having to get someone's approval of my performance.  So I just do what I need to do for me and if it helps others along the way then that's an added bonus.  I can't take confrontation so I'd rather go it alone.  It's a lot easier disappointing myself rather than a group of people.  Therefore, get out of my way and let me do it my way.  Everyone will wind up benefiting in the end.
