I believe there is such thing as the authentic selves. Though we all are socialized to play roles in our society, we each add our own personal/uniqueness to the roles. This may come from our biology or personal culture. By believing in your ways and trying to better yourself by forever changing and evoling, one is always developing a new true, authentic self. SO Goffman is also right in the fact that there isn't one authentic self, but I beleive there are many authentic selves that we each are at different times throughout our lives.
