Yeah, the two sure share some structure, though IDK, I feel like I would use the terms in practice differently. I like it as a different lens on a bunch of the same underlying dynamics and problems.
I associate the idea of “integrity” with a certain kind of hardness. An unwillingness to give into external pressure, or to give into local convenience. “Sincerity” feels softer, more something that you do when you are alone or in an environment that is safe.
If I had to treat these as separate (though they seem certainly heavily overlapping), I would say something like “integrity is being able to speak what you truly believe even when facing opposition” and “sincerity is being able to sense what you truly believe”, but idk, it’s not perfect.
