An authentic person is not one who scans the room to see what others are doing and then act acceptable to others.
The authentic person is themselves no matter who they are with. How others expect an authentic person to act is not important to them, they must remain true to what they believe.
As born again believers we are not concerned with being accepted by man. Since we are accepted by Christ our only concern and prayer is that Christ work in us His way in His timing.
Whether or not I am "good enough" is not worthy of our attention. We know we are not good enough, we cannot be good enough. It is only Christ Who is good enough and He has imputed His goodness to us.
Christ will grow us and change us over time throughout our lives, no need to worry about it or agonize over how much we have grown.
1 Peter 2:4-6 "4 And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For this is contained in Scripture:"
