Poseurs can be found in various settings, whether they’re pretending to like a certain show or faking a whole suite of skills. In every case, a poseur pretends to be something or someone that they aren’t, usually to get attention. You can usually identify a poser from the way they act, dress or talk. Some posers will put their efforts towards developing a fake social media personality, and seeing through this can be a bit trickier.

Tips
- Try talking to the person you’ve identified as a poseur. You might be able to help them be themselves rather than someone who tries to get attention.Thanks
- Before getting angry at someone for being a poseur, try to understand where they’re coming from. They’re probably not trying to make you mad on purpose.Thanks
- The best way to deal with a poseur is to ignore them. They crave attention, and will move on once they realize they can’t get it.Thanks
