Drink the kool-aid

Do you influence people or do people influence you? Or both?

I feel like this is kind of the same as “are you a leader or a follower?” and I don’t really have a clear cut answer to that question.

It depends on the situation. I don’t believe I influence people, no. Although I do love the challenge of trying to convince people to do something. Love that.

As far as influencers go on social media, nope I won’t fall into that. I have no use for celebrities, unless they’re celebrity chefs or authors, someone who has a skill that requires a brain.

I will say that those damn ads on Instagram (before I deleted it), made me buy shoes that I definitely did not need!

  2. Hate to break it to you, but you’re clearly a leader in your community. College professor, nonprofit founder, mom of 4+, former journalist, potential city councilor…if that’s not a positive influencer, I’m not sure what is.

  4. yes, its dependent for me too. when i judge someone to be of a certain threshold of character I am more apt to listen to them. not that I didn’t do it before but now i pay attention to how i put my mugs and drinking glasses in the fridge. i make sure they are up! πŸ™‚ and damn social media ads. they made me buy stuff that i kiiiiiiiinda needed but in retrospect i should not have been so quick to whip out the debit card lol

  5. I am receptive to learning from people and have strong follower qualities IF I deeply admire someone, which is rare and a high bar.
