..about what “being authentic” is and isn’t.
Part of becoming authentic is losing ones attachment to being nice + to being perceived as “nice.”
I really like to be nice, I really love to be liked.. Sometimes I get confused about the difference between kindness + niceness. I think kindness can be perceived as nice and niceness can be perceived as kind. But perhaps all of that is just filler..I can feel it in my body when I express or receive kindness. I feel “in the flow” and connected to something real. Likewise, I can feel it in my body (at the times I choose to notice) when I am playing nice or receiving someones nicety. Hmmm
KINDNESS,SYN
Good will; benignity; grace; tenderness; compassion; humanity; clemency; mildness; gentleness; goodness; generosity; beneficence; favor.
NICE, Syn
Dainty; delicate; exquisite; fine; accurate; exact; correct; precise; particular; scrupulous; punctilious; fastidious; squeamish; finical; effeminate; silly.
