Authentic Relating
About
Here I'll collect any tips on authentic relating. Authentic relating is an approach to cultivating connection and collaboration with others through greater integrity, honesty, openness, and empathy. Sound a little woo woo. Hell yes it is... but actually that's a good thing. To be authentic doesn't need to be associated with hippies, we should all be authentically ourselves. Up until you authentic you have a life, but you can never have an extraordinary life until you are real with everyone around you. And yes, that means being vulnerable about what you want, when you feel sad, and sharing when you are truly happy. Vulnerability is, in my experience, what leads to true friendships. Any other style of friendship isn't really a true friendship.
