Like, genuinely a person?
Or do you mean a person who thinks that being "authentic" is more important than being nice?
I suppose if you were to distill it down, my question could also be, what makes you trust someone?
Me. I make me trust someone.
But to get back to your question, by "genuine" do you mean "sincere"? Because that's not the same as "trustworthy".
I suppose so yes
Authenticity and kindess are seperate categories. Why the suggested conflict?
Because IME the only people who talk about "authenticity" or their "genuine self" use it as an excuse for rude or selfish behavior.
