no one likes authenticity

THIS is you at your best imho. THIS is why I follow you. Your nuanced insight into the messy and contradictory realities of what human beings are like. How perfectly you codify your social observations into consumables bits.

thank you i think it's the sleep deprivation

i bet you never heard this before

i, for one, like authenticity

Sure if you’re getting along in society, but one should aim to find their tribe who they can be completely authentic with You don’t have to please everyone. Being authentic gives feedback to your character and persona. It also filters out people who don’t enjoy you for you

agree! if you haven't already, check out Kegan's stage 5 adult development. "Pure authenticity" is stage 4 and what you are proposing is more evolved stage 5.

The final level of social awareness. Great video

Maybe if your authentic self sucks it’s because you suck

why give a shit what other people like, one should like themselves

just as a data point in the other direction, i close probably every sale i’m on, i do not act whatsoever. i’m not relaxed, im neurotic. i’m 1000% genuine. if you actually know how to be yourself, people feel drawn to you and will like pay you to hop in, because one’s true self is completely empathetic and helpful.
