What's the difference between being authentic and being yourself?

If I do things to change myself, I will not be authentic anymore.

False. Your authentic self may be a pitiful, boring, unmotivated person. You should typically strive to be your authentic self as this creates congruity, but you should absolutely strive to change yourself into a better person.

but at the same time I feel that I can act better than that.

Better in what way? If it's on your mind, say it. No filters (within reason, you don't want to be blatantly offensive).

Yes, it's okay.
It really depends on what we're talking about. If it's talking about jokes, and you don't really feel like joking around, then you don't have to do it. But sometimes you also have to realize that doing things you don't want to do is essential to personal growth.
Not always. If you want to get better at baseball but you've never held a bat, are you being fake if you then try to play baseball?

That's the same thing. Just make sure you're the highest version of yourself. Check out the Sexual Frame, to become the highest version - the version she wants to chase.
