How to Not Be a Poser

No one wants to be labeled as a "poser." The best way to avoid this fate is to focus on yourself, and maintain a good self image.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. # Don't try to look like a celebrity.
   # Avoid doing things just because everyone else is doing them. If something interests you, learn about it, and truly involve yourself in it.

2. # Be honest about your opinions and interests. Being called a "poser" is really synonymous with being called a "liar." People can tell if you are making up your involvements and interests.
   # Be committed when you try something new. Often times when a person flits from one hobby to another it can appear to others that they are "posers." Make sure to give a new hobby a chance before quitting or moving on to something new.

3. Remember, the most important thing is to be true to yourself. Sometimes you need to ignore insults and be confident in your decisions. As long as it makes you happy, its a good decision.
