I would like to add that respectful people will respect you for your authenticity when expressed in a respectful way. I think it's along the same line of thought as "People need to see a genuine part of you and they need to relate to it." I wasn't aware authenticity was buzzword of the year in 2005. I guess buzzwords are like fashion trends - they come and go and come back again.

Here is what I'm thinking, though. I think that when someone is being authentic, they are likeable. The <a href="http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2006/09/forget_about_asking_yourself_i.html" rel="nofollow">post from Sept. 06</a>that you refer to is sort of the list of five things that keep us from being authentic. For example, you had said you have insecurities talking in front of a crowd. That is not the true you -- the true you is what you say when you are really comfortable.
