Authenticity

Sometimes it is difficult to tell if a teacher is being authentic or "fake" when showing compassion for their students or their profession. It is difficult to tell the sincerity of a teacher when they are teaching because some teachers are able to make it look like they enjoy their profession when really they dread going to work everyday. Also, it is hard to determine if a teacher is showing authentic compassion and care for a student. Everyone has always had the feeling that they believe a teacher dislikes them. Is this because the teacher is not being authentic with them? Although most of the time the teacher really does not dislike the student, it may seem this way because of the teacher's authenticity of sincerity towards the student when they are encouraging them or giving them some kind of praise.
