Authentic people know themselves very well. It is actually because of this, that they struggle to get along with these types of people...

1) People with no self-awareness

Authentic people can find it frustrating to interact with people who lack self-awareness, because they don't understand how their behaviour affects others.

Their poor communication and lack of accountability can make it almost impossible to resolve conflict or work together in general.

2) Manipulators

Manipulators put others through subtle tests to determine how easily they can be controlled. Authentic people are just as observant as these manipulators (if not moreso) and don't fall for these tricks.

Because of their differing morals, authentic people struggle to gel with manipulative individuals.

3) People who give in order to receive

A world where genuine kindness is abundant, would be an authentic person's paradise! So when people pervert the use of kindness by trying to "cash in" with their supposed "good deeds" they lose respect for them.

Kindness should not be performative, nor should it be used to exchange for favours later down the line.
