This study focused upon the following compound of concerns: Given the complexity of our nature, what in practice does it mean to be truly authentic, how does one discern what-is-so, what motivates the authentic response, and most centrally, what results---both for self and others---when one acts or does not act authentically? Do short- and long-term outcomes support or discourage further authenticity? Guided by organic inquiry, the study interviewed 9 pairs of participants---9 coresearchers plus a secondary participant they each identified as being primarily affected by their authenticity. It explored the coresearchers' process for discernment and the short- and long-term outcomes of their authentic expression both for themselves and their respective secondary participants. Coresearchers reported similarly on inauthentic incidents, including why they classified them as such, and concluded with what authenticity means to them. Results showed that they generally discerned their authenticity by assessing internal feelings and body cues. A fear for themselves was the primary concern, although internal and external pressures often motivated coresearchers to overcome fears. When authentic, outcomes for coresearchers in the short-term were either life-enhancing or mixed, but long-term outcomes were strongly life-enhancing. Secondary participants reported mixed experiences in the short-term, but consistently expressed long-term outcomes as life-enhancing. Outcomes from self-perceived inauthenticity showed that short-term outcomes for coresearchers were generally life-diminishing, although long-term outcomes for themselves were mostly life-promoting, as they generally grew from the experiences. Coresearchers mostly perceived inauthenticity outcomes for others as life-diminishing. Overall findings suggest that although fears pose resistance to authenticity, outcomes generally warrant moving beyond the resistance and trusting that the outcomes for all will be the most life-promoting, at least in the long-term and possibly in the short-term also. As authenticity is seen as developmental, rooted in awareness, findings suggest compassion toward perceived inauthenticity, for coresearchers were found to be as authentic as developmentally possible in the moment.
