  “Would you rather be at peace with the world, but at war with yourself? Or at peace with yourself, but at war with the world?”

  I was raised by a narcissist, which basically taught me to be inauthentic because you&apos;re constantly trying to find the &quot;right&quot; answer instead of the true one. It been both hard and gratifying to figure out what I actually think and then learn to say it.

  Being authentic is painful. You’ll especially know that you were being authentic when it hurts BAD when criticized for the things you were authentic about.

  Being rejected for who you are is better rather than being accepted for who you are not.

  I’m such a people pleaser. I hate how I only realize I’ve said something inauthentic right after the words have already left my mouth!

  I&apos;ve been being inauthentic most of my life. I&apos;m very introverted and don&apos;t like social situations. I don&apos;t find it hard to be social per se but I find myself mirroring other people&apos;s personalities rather than being myself because it&apos;s easier to make conversation with people when I match their level of frequency.<br><br> I will copy their tone of voice, inflections, body posture, and gestures. When I was younger and going to school this skill was very useful when needing to interact with a large group of people on a daily basis, but now that I&apos;m older and I&apos;m more in control of what social settings I decide to participate in, &nbsp;I want to be more authentic so that I attract people in my life where I can be more myself. When I find myself being inauthentic I pause and stay silent. I&apos;d rather say very little and have my words be a reflection of myself than to say a lot and have my words be hollow.<br><br>EDIT: Wow, thanks guys I had no idea that a lot of other people felt like me! I&apos;m glad I&apos;m not alone!

  Being authentic is being able to say the things most people have a difficult time being able to say. Expressing deep emotion and spiritual intelligence is not an easy thing to do.

  If more people learned this stuff, they would be less likely to be &apos;owned&apos; by ideologies. &nbsp;This, in turn, would improve the health of society and the entire world at large.
