Being a poser depends on your own perception of your own Self. To have an outsider assign the label "poser" is irrelevant unless you, yourself, think of yourself as a poser. Descartes said, "I think therefore I am." Do you think you are a poser? If so, then yes. If not, then no.

It's the majority that decides what's "in" and what's "out". A lot of people try different social groups to figure out who they are. Sometimes you have to play some hopscotch to see what fits you and you alone. The moment someone states that you are too low for their standards is when you have to believe that you are worth more than that. I firmly believe in the walk of the individual over the masses. True, every individual should have a circle of friends, but that circle is also for your individual needs. The process of seeking "you" is a tough one. Sometimes you have to take a little from a lot of groups to find something that resonates in your heart. So long as you seek yourself instead of the praise of others, then you are never a poser.

Everyone has their own interests, hobbies, struggles, and strengths. What would you be posing as? You are who you are. :)

Are you? It's really your decision. Look at how you act. Do you act that way just to impress other people, while on the inside, you aren't happy? If yes, then you are probably a poser. Try to do what you want to do, as long as it doesn't involve hurting others.

In high school, the last thing myself or anyone else wanted to be called was a poser. I struggled with this same question. What it meant for me wa, Am I acting in a way that is inauthentic? Am I putting on heirs? Am I trying too hard to be cool? The answer I came to is this; I can only be me. Anything and everything I or anyone else ever does will always be infused with who we are at our core. For that is the lens and perspective all is filtered through. I had to realize this and own it, and in doing so, it gave me great freedoms and permission to actually be more authentically me. Who we are, our personality, our psyche, is far greater than any trend or band, fad or craze. I will always be me, no matter what I "try on."

Not if you truly believe in and enjoy doing the things you're doing! You're the only one who can judge yourself like that.

No I try to be as real and as giving as I can. As the quote says, "you were born an original, don't die a copy."

No of course not. Though it would help to have more information.

I think that everyone is a poser to some extent. Acting in a way to get attention is something that everyone does to some degree. If you feel that you aren't acting the way your true self would, then try and let that little you out a little.
