Who is an Authentic Person?
An authentic person is someone who lives in alignment with their meaning and purpose in life. They have a sense of self awareness with an accurate appraisal of their strengths and their weaknesses and yet don’t allow their strengths to escalate them into grandiosity and don’t let the perceived weaknesses allow them to fall into a pit of despair. They tend to be well emotionally regulated however are able to engage in appropriate and vulnerable shows of emotions. They are self possessed people. They are not necessarily rich as a matter of fact will not require material possessions as a cover of self security. An authentic person is simply aligned with their purpose in life.
They may have had difficult lives but they just keep going. They know their limit and don’t care what people think or how they will be judged. They are wise and don’t fall for the masks people put up. They know when to step away and disengage from an unhealthy situation. They are in tune to know what does not feel good. Most people don’t want to step away or explain themselves so they don’t know when to stop. Authenticity speaks truth and requires not caring what people think and do not fear judgement. They are serene.
They will not enable bad behavior for the sake of being nice. They are living in congruence with who they are. They have integrated their lessons and done their work. To be solid and comfortable enough to recognize what is not working and have the strength to walk away. Truth tellers will understand this. Authenticity will see right through people. Truth tellers see through their parents and narcissistic people and it is not uncommon for authentic people to end up being mistreated by them. When authenticity speaks, their words are clear. They don’t deviate from their calling. The more authentic you become the more resistant you are to fake people.
