The Art of Authenticity: How to Show Up as the Real You | Misty Gilbert | TEDxGunnHighSchool

[@bboyneon92]

You have been through so much. It hurts to listen. Amazing turn around to being you. Thanks for sharing your story Misty!

[@coreysmardz2120]

This is such a powerful talk and it hit me really deeply. I am currently struggling to find authenticity after a lifetime of abuse and living in fear. Thank you for being so vulnerable, courageous and real with the world. I hope I can do the same.

[@jane-nessa24]

It’s exhausting having to ‘pretend’ everyday. Thank you for sharing!!

[@Michael-gr6fv]

Misty you deserve a life of happiness and meaning. Your resilience is inspiring.

[@livedopeclothing4681]

Authenticity and Vulnerability is not common these days unfortunately. Too many people want to be accepted not knowing that vulnerability and authenticity is two of the most powerful qualities to have.

[@spacebar9733]

its almost like people are judging them for their mistakes... kind of like your comment here !

[@sovannpen]

I'm so sorry for what you've been through Misty! I am so glad for what you've overcome and admire your courage and strength. I hope this talk and the process of preparing for it will be healing to you and that it will encourage you and others as this hear it. Thanks for being so brave and authentic and sharing yourself.

[@andresmadriz1602]

[@conrodwallace4395]

[@mandyriccobena3225]

Blessings to you No one should put up with what you’ve had to I hope the rest of your life is as happy as it can be

[@jackiecook208]

Fantastic TED talk, very effective. No one will ever, ever make me be perfect...I am not PERFECT and neither is anyone else who are alive and breathing.

[@nadimahmed7782]

Authenticity makes you so strong. Great presentation.

[@mistywgilbert]

Thank YOU for being in my life Nadim! I appreciate you.

[@KadenaTate]

Thank you for your transparency and vulnerability abut a very delicate matter. Your story is a reminder that our life's purpose is to free ourselves from the limitations that keep us from growing and expanding. I love and appreciate you.

[@mistywgilbert]

I appreciate your continued encouragement, support and part in my life! We are in this journey together to help free each other from the limitations that keep us in a box and hiding. Bunches of Love backatcha!!!

[@refrigeratorraider3579]

The first 4 mins. Wow. Makes my heart break but I look up to you for being able to conquer!! I would call you Atlas or Sampson with your strength!

[@brianjones3333]

Great talk, Misty. So proud to know you and you are so freaking strong!!

[@mistywgilbert]

Thank YOU for your friendship and support Brian! Grateful to have met you too.

[@jcholly7237]

😭😭😭😭😭😭 Thank you for sharing and being so strong.

[@NFTeve]

One of the best Ted Talks ever!! I did relate to not relating to having parents who loved you. I really liked the delivery as well, so strong and focused.

[@hebahmuhammad8607]

This should be watched more

[@lifeisbutavapor9396]

Uniqueness is obvious and the most natural thing. The reason people need to listen to videos like this is because they gave away their personal power (or someone took it and they are dealing with that trauma) and now have to work at the opposite extreme. Experiencing our 'uniqueness' is a wonderful thing, but it is not the whole story; experiencing how we are constrained is just as wonderful. The beauty of a lion and clam are equal although one proclaims loudly, "I AM A LION" while the other conceals a treasure of great value. You don't have to "come out" to be authentic. Just be aware. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My point: People confuse having a weak will with being inauthentic. Authentic people are reflective people who continue the hard work of seeking wisdom in a time when pop-psychology rules.

[@charlieangkor8649]

I feel strong disgust and strong anger towards your parents.

[@emilyacoxpsychic]

Wow! You were SCAPEGOATED LIKE ME!!!!!! My Narcissistic Sociopathic mother did this to me!!!!! And then My Next Partner!!!!!!!! 100% IDENTICAL

[@TTTTTTTTT853]

Overall we are improving as humanity, patching mistakes and fixing up the things we messed up, and experimenting along the way, some may lead to benefits and other leads to failures which ( hopefully ) will get patched up later

[@angieeissa8679]

I can totally relate.

[@lalasuncokretic1046]

[@nabeelshah2306]

[@glenberger257]

Damn.

[@juanhubertino384]

There is nothing like christian love...

[@1LankyLady]

That is flat out abuse in an extreme way on the part of your parent. How despicable. Child abuse.

[@zetoghetto]

12:05skip past her experiences story

[@charlieangkor8649]

Another TED talk: "The Importance of Being Inauthentic". If we pour these two TED talks, are they going to fizzle react and neutralize like acid and hydroxide?

[@Us-A4]

Gi

[@FrancLusaite]

Religion is so great -.-

[@Manal-g6l]

Too sad for tedx to bring weirdo people telling stories from their illusions just to get more viewers I don't trust you anymore Did you do your investigation about this story before you brought her in the stage

[@KathyBochonko]

Wtf? Why are you even asking this? What a horrible reaction.

[@mistywgilbert]

My story us 100% true. And this TEDx Talk isn't all of it.
