Being able to speak and express ideas is often a sign of being independent, to be independent you need to voice your own opinion. Being independent has a lot to do with going your own way, you cannot be part of the "mainstream" crowd.
When a independent person experiences another person being bullied, they stand up for what they believe in. those who are independent will express their ideas and are the "leaders" who others look up to. individuals who are afraid of speaking up are followers who are afraid of rejection or they are afraid of being made fun of.
Whether you are the leaders or followers in the world is your choice, it is better in my opinion to be a leader, but the world would not function if there was only very independent people, and none of those who follow them. There are two types of people in this world: those who lead independently, or those who follow others.
So do you tell everybody...everything? Because you say " individuals who are afraid of speaking up are followers who are afraid of rejection or they are afraid of being made fun of" to show that many are not independent, but are you?
