I really encourage you to learn! You'll definitely get your mind of stuff and calm down. And you shouldn't worry about being called a poser as long as you are working to get better at skating then your not a poser. Every skater started from the same place so they understand being a beginner. There are a couple things that skaters call people posers for all the time and that is mall grabbing (carrying your board by the trucks) and pushing mongo(standing on your board with your back foot and pushing with the front foot). If your wondering anything else about skating I recommend this vid. [VIDEO] Good luck for your skating journey
