Growing up, I was always a team player. The problem is, each team I was on, I always had to take the most consequences if something went wrong...even though I was the same guy that was called to make something right. I've always considered myself a natural leader because I've never followed anyone or anything blindly. Trends weren't my thing and still aren't (unless it's tech or games).
However, I did allow certain things to happen to and around me, that I knew I should have spoken up about and did not. Sometimes I would wait for someone else to bring it up and if no one else did, I didn't either. Nowadays, I'm still kind of the same way. I'm a little better at declining things that make me feel uncomfortable, but I still have a lot of work to do in that regard.
Self-preservation is only as hard as you make it, it seems. But sometimes your hands really are tied and you're forced to just take whatever comes your way. Or at least it feels that way...
