Your Authentic Self makes enemies. It makes enemies of those who wish to not be authentic. For it challenges their belief system and threatens their false existence. Support is withdrawn when you are authentic in front of those who refuse. So very early in the game, you learned very astutely to hide this secret power. It does not get you cupcakes, which you rather liked. It did not get you, in fact, much of anything except confusion. But you were clever and a good actress and they said they required a character who was more cooperative. So you said, "I can do that." And started feeding the Cooperative One. For the Cooperative One could get you many things. But it could not get you authenticity. For it was being fed on airy cupcakes.
