Is it alright to become what you realized who you really were? like for example, before i didnt know i was a gothic/emo type person. i dont often show emotions,i dont smile,i hav a dark personality,and i always wear dark clothing so when i studied about my habits i realized i was a gothic type person so i decided to express who i really was but the problem is i didnt realize that before and now that i know and became who i really am im just wondering if it's ok. i dont want to be like a poser or a wannabe i just realized it. so is it ok?

I've gone through so many changes over middle school and my freshmen year of high school to find out who I am. I guess it's all different on how your school "social system" is. Also on how you were like before you find out what you are now. Say if you were one of those people who shop at Aero, AE, and Hollister then it might be a bit dramatic change, but not that there's anything wrong with that though :D. And If majority of people are accepting then no problem. But I am telling you from experience, that there will be some people who might think you are fake for changing who you are because I have this one person who pretty much thinks im a fake for changing who I am. But that's just one person you know?
I have no regrets what so ever for changing to who I am now, because I've made so many new friends whom I can relate to and my old friends still like me for who I am. So it's definetly okay and if some people can't accept you for that? why bother being their friend [ Sk8RcH1cK1773's advice column | Ask Sk8RcH1cK1773 A Question ]

A poser is someone who acts or dresses a certain way in order to fit in with some crowd or trend. Since you realized that deep down you feel goth, then expressing that aspect of yourself would not make you a poser. Just do what feels comfortable, whether it's through music, clothes, personality, etc.. if you know who you are deep down, then it shouldn't matter what others might think. Your question is titled, "becoming who you were all along." -- That sounds like a good idea to me. Since you realize you were a certain way all along, then that's clearly how you are comfortable being. [ ciao77's advice column | Ask ciao77 A Question ]
