2. You sit and stare at the ground too much
Humans are evolved to stand upright, and we can see very far into the distance
Sitting itself is not bad, but if you never walk and only sit, plus you stare downward all the time, you will condition your body to be hunched over

3. You "workouts" are too much sitting and compressive movements
Lifting is NOT automatically awesome for your posture
If you "lift weights" mostly sitting down, you're not training posture
And if you lift heavy incorrectly, you're compressing your spine, not lengthening it

4. You think Good posture is pinning your shoulders back
Good posture is your whole spine being aligned over your hips & all of your muscles having balanced length-tension relationships when you do ANY kind of movement
Sticking your chest out wont fix a lifetime of misalignment

5. You think doing some secret exercise/stretch will fix your posture
Good posture is not doing a single magical movement or stretch and suddenly you stand up straight
The reality is that your entire bodily structure is weak and deconditioned
You need to retrain EVERYTHING
