You're certainly not alone there.
The Lord Acton quote comes to mind - "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely..."
It's what's kept me off the career ladder despite having many opportunities to climb it.

It took me a long time to learn where and how I could express "leadership" qualities and succeed at it. I'm very good in a teaching role, fairly good at mentoring, and completely wretched as the traditional manager.
Like you I don't like hierarchies. This is ironic since I work for a relatively large company. Most of my life I've been intimidated by authority. I didn't overcome this until I was in my 40's (I'm 60 now). It's interesting that as I've become more adept at this, I've gotten better at the "people politics".

How many different nationalities do we have on here ? the time differences for the CCC posting time got me curious.

Edit:
Should point out that we have so many timezones here. Not just east/west, but for six months of the year we have a north/south difference.

I think many accounts don't bother to change the default location, which is supposedly the US. I'm sure @OriginalGriff could enhance his software to go through Who's Who and only count accounts that have posted more than n times, be it a message, question, answer, or article.

Better to ask Sean or Chris to do it directly on the DB - it'd use a lot of bandwidth to do it from individual pages and that wouldn't be fair on the rest of the site.

70% of all those seeking homework help are from India.
Then you can add the Chinese, as they are the single largest ethnic population in the world!
😂😂😂
Are there any Papua/New Guineans, inquiring minds want to know.

That surprises me. I would have thought *all* the homework help questioners were from the U.S. because we have so many functionally illiterate and/or lazy people here.
BTW, I'm from the U.S.>Eastern time zone.

A mixture of Cajun French and Yat (as in Where Yat?) here. We are basically American but refuse to acknowledge it. Culturally, we have more in common with France, Spain, and Italy.

I interpreted his "50% stupid" as a commentary that both halves think the other half is stupid.
There are also a few like me, who think both halves are stupid. But I digress.
