This struck at something that feels deep and resonant to me. Thank you for putting it into words. In my experience I have feared sincerity almost always, because I have been afraid that my goals aren't really my goals, or at least that I am being somehow dishonest with myself in a way that will... I don't know, destroy me if allowed relax into sincerity?
It all comes back to some deeply bodily felt-sense I think. The key skill seems to be something like Noticing. Noticing how it feels to be sincere/ insincere with yourself, and when you're doing it.
