And so, people can also lose that authenticity, and become fake, or false, doing things that are in
conflict with, or even the opposite to their core personality and beliefs.
People put on a fake persona for many different reasons. Many people struggle with showing their
authentic selves due to fear, anxiety, and other uncomfortable emotions. They feel that if people
knew who they really were, they wouldn’t be as well-liked, lose their respect or even lose their love.
However, being authentic is actually one of the crucial aspects needed for healthy relationships that
are impactful and meaningful. How can anyone love you for who you are, if you are not being yourself
to begin with? And second, wearing a mask, or putting on a persona day in and day out can be tiring.
It´s a heavy costume to wear, and we can end up exhausted and burned out. It is so much lighter and
easier to let go of that person and just Be You.
Which leads to the question; how can you start living your authentic self? Below we’ll answer that
question and take a closer look at the common mistakes and misperceptions people have when it
comes to being authentic.

Set boundaries and, in all circumstances, enforce those boundaries by walking away from toxic or
harmful relationships.
Let themselves be vulnerable and open-hearted under the right situations and with the people
they love and care about.
Listen to their conscience, the “inner voice” that guides us and, amazingly, is always right.
The examples above should give you a good idea of what it means to be authentic and live an
authentic life. To make it even more profound, though, being authentic will show you where you’re
going and give your life clarity.
As an authentic person, you know what your core values are, and you make every decision in your life
based on those values. In turn, this allows you to build the life you dream about, give you more joy
and happiness, and inspires those around you to be more authentic.
Becoming your authentic self is a worthy goal; it’s true. It’s also a goal that will take some time to
achieve, so don’t rush it. Instead, take little steps, be unafraid to fail, and never, ever let anyone try to
tell you who you are.
Remember, becoming your authentic self isn’t something that one day happens and is set for the
rest of your life. As you grow and mature, your authentic self will change and evolve also. If you allow
that person to shine, your life and the lives of those around you will be much brighter.
