How Do You Know If Someone’s Being Authentic?
How Can You Tell If Someone’s Being Authentic?
How can you tell if someone’s being authentic? It’s actually much easier than you would imagine. I struggled with this growing up. Sincerity and honesty have always been at the top of my values, morals, and ethics list.
Over the years, as I developed my intuition, I realized something important: when we tune in to ourselves—really tune in—we can feel whether someone is being honest or dishonest. Authenticity has an energy to it, and so does inauthenticity.
What Does Being Authentic Look Like?
We don’t fully realize this until we start practicing being present with our senses, feelings, and emotions. There’s a weightiness we feel when something is off or doesn’t sit right. Most of us ignore that heavy feeling, but that feeling isyour intuition. It’s your gut instinct nudging you, telling you that something isn’t aligning.
Am I saying you’ve been told a blatant lie? Not necessarily. Sometimes it’s a white lie, a softened version of the truth, or simply not the whole truth. But when we strengthen our intuition, we get better at recognizing those subtle cues. You know quickly when someone is being inauthentic.
Things That Keep Us From Recognizing Authenticity
A lot of times we have energetic blockages that keep us from accessing our higher selves. When our energy isn’t clear, we struggle to see truth for what it is—or we’re unwilling to acknowledge it.
It’s like the movie He’s Just Not That Into You. Deep down we know, but we don’t want to believe the naked truth staring us in the face. We convince ourselves they’re into us, even when our intuitive, instinctual self is whispering otherwise.
When we’re operating at a higher frequency, we recognize signs of inauthenticity far sooner. Our bodies speak to us. Our energy speaks to us.
Why We Ignore Our Intuition
Friends and relatives don’t have to point out the red flags when we’ve learned to listen inward. But listening to ourselves takes time, practice, and trust.
I was told at a very young age that I was intuitive—but did I listen? No.
I ignored the feelings, the nausea, the premonitions, and the instincts for decades before finally understanding that this was my higher self trying to communicate with me, guide me, protect me.
Once you get clear—energetically and emotionally—you begin to recognize authenticity instantly. You feel the difference in your body. You sense it without needing proof.
