What's your take on having role models?

What's your general opinion on it, do you have one yourself or are you considered to be one?

I personally hate the idea of having roles models, the thought of thinking what he/she would do or how I have to emulate them is just horrifying to me, I am not gonna judge people for having role models but i personally can't, probably because i would keep comparing myself with them and fall short. I already do that without having a role model.

What's worse is being considered as one, a friend of my brother's told him that I was his role model and i have been begging my brothers to change his mind about having me as one, because I guess I know me better than him.
