People often get confused between self-image and authenticity. Self-image is how we see ourselves and often how we would like others to see us. This is not a bad thing, though there is some degree of ego involvement due to the desire for external approval. The authentic self has no need for external approval as it is free of the ego. The authentic self doesn't need fixing. To be our true selves does not take any effort, as we are who we are. That's it. We are enough as is.
