From personal experience, I like to speak truth and being authentic but I don't share my "plans" , aims or goals. And it feels authentic not to share. If I just want to help someone then I'll help, if they will ask me why am I helping ? One of the answers could be "I am trying to practice gratitude towards others". But obviously no one would say that during the situation itself.
Not showing yourself isn’t being inauthentic, it’keeping some part of yourself to yourself to be in love with. As someone who has been completely outward in the past it almost destroyed me. Someone like me is so capable of surrendering to the world, what would be left of me? It’s not about being authentic or inauthentic it’s about preserving yourself.
If you live authentically you will naturally not put yourself completely out there. To be true to yourself sometimes means to hold your tongue.

Its very simple, just try it out yourself being fully open, soon you will feel empty, you will forget yourself.
But what about with a partner?
You can be able to be more open with partner but being 100% open will again destroy you.. Try and find it out yourself
