Track16: Totally correct. You can temper it a bit if you are around certain people who would not react so well to it but to suppress it would mean that you are not being you. Besides, when you are being you, you don't have to remember what you were yesterday.
Do you think we should 'temper it a bit' or should we should be who we are?I'm noticing around me that the happiest people are those who are unashamedly themselves no matter how well it fits or doesn't with society/cultural expectations. Because of being who they are they have 'attracted' like minded people around them and they can be themselves all of the time

In some circumstances it may be a good idea to temper it a bit, say at a funeral, making jokes may not be the best thing to do. Thats showing respect and sometimes its a good idea. In most aspects of life though, its best to be yourself.I'm noticing around me that the happiest people are those who are unashamedly themselves no matter how well it fits or doesn't with society/cultural expectations.

Lack of respect in circumstances like a funeral if the funeral is being conducted in a very serious and sombre manner would denote rather bad taste but if the funeral was the celebration of life of a joker who is now passed then may be it would be good taste

And then this:Selenite: In what way would distespecting the boundaries of your co-workers be a trait of authenticity?
It's when someone has a different opinion about which boundaries are important and which ones are trivial.------ This thread is Archived ------

Well in the workplace there are boundaries set by rules and regulations which most often get their cues from existing enforceable laws... so not so much work boundaries set at a whim by whomever feels like it ...And then this:

It's a different story in people's private lives where workplace rules don't apoly. But there are are still laws that can be enforced when someone's authentic self wants to be expressed by not respecting someone else's boundaries... And then this:

Is it possible that not respecting other people is a way of expressing one's authenticity? Or is it just called sociopathy?

Selenite: The thing is that knowing when to explore or reveal your different facets is part of being your authentic self
It is. Its part of your own sensibilities. Some people have fewer than others but they are true to themselves as they are. For anyone with sensibilities, life demands that you adapt sometimes which means holding your tongue when you really want to let go but you know that if you let go, its gonna end in a disaster so you hold back. The key is not to lose your own identity when adapting and try to keep yourself in a environment where you don't have to adapt so much. People are generally happier when they allow themselves to be free.------ This thread is Archived ------

And to be able to adapt without losing the essence of who we are is part of who we are

truheart1941: Doing good deeds. While not expecting a reward..........for your kindness
If that is part of your character then it would be part of your authentic self. If you're only pretending it wouldn't I suppose.... or would the fact you pretend still be part of your authentic self? ------ This thread is Archived ------
Selenite: Something dawned on me recently about authenticity...
There was this underlying thought of equating authenticity to something/someone unadulterated. In its original most natrual form. Free from artifice ...
What dawned on me is that for humans, being authentic is just accepting and being 'as one is' including one's needs, flaws etc. But also including and loving ones needs for being a particular way, wearing a particular type of clothes or make up or brand. So long as it's a representation of who one feels one is to the core ... one is authencally 'representing' onesel. As one is being true and kind to oneself on many levels we can be who we are
What is your idea of 'authenticity' when it comes to humans?
Another word for 'authentic' could be simply raw. But how many would describe themselves as 'raw'? Sounds too radicalThere was this underlying thought of equating authenticity to something/someone unadulterated. In its original most natrual form. Free from artifice ...

What is your idea of 'authenticity' when it comes to humans?
Many so called humans seem lost if they are without a 'brand'; many seem mentally incapable to cope . If they wear an article of clothing without one, they are afraid of reality, of life. I prefer simple t-shirts without any desire for wearing a product logo on it. A good shirt is not meant to turn a well adjusted individual into a walking corporate billboard. It says to the world that this pathetic individual's identity is wrapped up in the product that they pay that company to advertise it's product on their empty shell of a body. Why would someone do that? Is it perhaps that endorsing products by the dim-witted is the American way to express any individuality at all? Yes, it seems so. Pathetic.

Youcannow: This thread is so boring .
Would say the word boring applies only to other people's threads or this one in particukar? Or is it a projection of your inner stste? Would you say that word in any way defines your own authentic self? Or only people who speak of subjects for which you have no interest?
In what way does your reaction to this thread express your authentic self would you say?
Are you snoring yet?
