Don't be a poser; be your authentic self.

There is quite a good story in the Washington Post of a very public person, a newsman who worked diligently to find the "truth" about the news of public events, but used that search to avoid looking at himself.

Read about Shepard Smith, Fox News reporter, here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/05/10/ive-got-nothing-to-hide-fox-news-shepard-smith-talks-about-being-gay/?utm_term=.2d8c26b77f5b

He avoided even looking at the fact that he is a gay man, which is "antithetical to all that was okay.”  And why is that?  “A. You’re going to hell for it. B. You’ll never have any friends again. C. What are you going to tell your family? And by the way, you’re on television on the craziest conservative network on Earth. They will probably put you in front of a brick wall and mow you down. Of course, none of that was true, but that’s how it felt.”

That is how it felt.  Now he is no longer posing.
