Well, now of course I'd say we're not much different. I'm about as stubborn as they come. However, this resistance, at least for me, was built after a childhood of being led. By doing what I thought I was supposed to do to please the group. Things were often not in my best interest, and by my mid-teen years, I'd bolstered my sense of individuality enough to resist any kind of influence.
