A lawyer, surgeon, Uber driver, and concert performer all have one thing in common: you don't want their authentic self, you want their reliable one. Authenticity works for friendships. Professionals need consistency.

And why is being authentic nonsense? Well, so let's say something important came up in your life. You needed a lawyer or a surgeon or even an Uber driver, or you're going to a concert for someone you've saved up money for the tickets. Do you want that person to be authentic? If they're having a really bad day, do you want them to be cranky? If they're tired, do you want them to drive erratically? No. You want them to be consistent. Professionals are consistent. They show up as the best version of themselves. Authenticity is for your friends. Consistency is for professionals.
