Who cares, seriously if you can't stand social pressure you're just not cut out to be a leader. The entire point of leaders is to do things that are unpopular that benefit the group. You don't need leaders to do popular things, they just happen. Fundamentally if you want to make omelettes you're going to have to break some eggs, if your friends say breaking eggs is bad you have two choices, tell them off, or don't break eggs. Those that are willing to break eggs are allowed to be chefs.
