Sincerity

"The most exhausting thing in my life is being insincere." Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Sincerity or authenticity is important.  Have you found that it is easier to be authentic in some situations and with some people than with others?  My inner radar seems to go on alert at times and with some people; and I do not fully reveal myself.  For instance, if I perceive people are judging me, I tend to "hide" within myself.  And, I agree, with Anne Morrow Lindbergh:  it is exhausing.  So, what is the answer?  There are people for each of us who may not be safe for us to fully open and reveal ourslves.  Let us discern who are safe people for us so that we can be authentic and safe -- and replenished instead of exhausted.
