"If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good." - Thomas Watson

As you may have already figured out fear is the main reason we follow others.  The fear of rejection and the fear of the unknown are the two main reasons you blindly follow the wishes of others.
