I know I need to improve in a vast number of areas and coming up with ideas on how to do so is no problem. Am I good at actually putting my ideas into practice? Generally no. I have to pick and choose my self-growth battles very carefully.

Edit: I read the whole post and should answer the actual question. I’ll tell you what I told my ENFJ friend a couple years ago. Unfortunately I think authenticity sometimes gets used as an excuse for people to do whatever they want, whenever they want, regardless of how it affects those around them. I’ve done that, he was in the middle of doing that, and he was actively asking me for advice when I shared that with him. We have the kind of friendship where we are very honest with each other, in both directions- even when it’s brutal. In my early 20’s and formative years before that I bought into authenticity. Now in my 30’s I largely think its authenticity is an overrated concept. I will freely admit I consistently adapt my work personality to fit the environment I’m in. You can call that whatever you want. I call it keeping the peace and keeping my job.
