  there is a huge long post on .... where? the existential philosophy tribe? i dont know. but now that i've read it, i have little antenna everytime someone says "authenticity" i have no idea what it means any more. that conversation totally corrupted my capacity to take that word with even a smidgen of assumption!

        I think I found it:
        
        existsat.tribe.net/thread/a...5d8134ac6
        
        But it still doesn't address my original question.

          I would say that being genuine is projected through ego and is intended/needed to be seen by another. Similar to sincerety.
          
          Where as authenticity is identified within the conscience and is about maintaining emotional bounderies based on the core self's desires and integrity. Like a guilt its about keeping us true to how we feel, not what we wish to be seen as.

        ah! it was in the german philosophy tribe. here is the thread....
        germanphilosophy.tribe.net/thre...7e26f
        
        but that still isnt the complete conversation im thinking of.... anyway, lots of thoughtfulness there, much more informed than i.
