LECTURE PROPER AND DISCUSSIONS
What Is Self-Awareness?
Self-awareness is where you can recognize your emotions and feelings as well as your abilities and preferences.
You also have an understanding of how your thoughts impact your behavior and how your behavior impacts
others.
You understand how your feelings can create certain behaviors which will then have an impact on those around
you. When you can learn to recognize and become aware of what emotions and reactions you have, you can
work on any that you think are negative and try to improve.
Types of Self-Awareness
Psychologists often break self-awareness down into two different types, either public or private.
1. Public Self-Awareness
This type emerges when people are aware of how they appear to others. Public self-awareness often emerges in
situations when people are at the center of attention, such as when giving a presentation or talking to a group of
friends.
This type of self-awareness often compels people to adhere to social norms. When we are aware that we are
being watched and evaluated, we often try to behave in ways that are socially acceptable and desirable.
Public self-awareness can also lead to evaluation anxiety in which people become distressed, anxious, or
worried about how they are perceived by others.
2. Private Self-Awareness
This type happens when people become aware of some aspects of themselves, but only in a private way.
For example, seeing your face in the mirror is a type of private self-awareness. Feeling your stomach lurch
when you realize you forgot to study for an important test or feeling your heart flutter when you see someone
you are attracted to are also examples of private self-awareness.
Self-Consciousness: A Heightened State of Self-Awareness
Sometimes, people can become overly self-aware and veer into what is known as self-consciousness. 5
Have you ever felt like everyone was watching you, judging your actions, and waiting to see what you will do next? This
heightened state of self-awareness can leave you feeling awkward and nervous in some instances.
In a lot of cases, these feelings of self-consciousness are only temporary and arise in situations when we are "in the
spotlight." For some people, however, excessive self-consciousness can reflect a chronic condition such as social anxiety
disorder.
People who are privately self-conscious have a higher level of private self-awareness, which can be both a good and bad
thing. These people tend to be more aware of their feelings and beliefs, and are therefore more likely to stick to their
personal values. However, they are also more likely to suffer from negative health consequences such as increased
stress and anxiety.
People who are publicly self-conscious have a higher level of public self-awareness. They tend to think more about how
other people view them and are often concerned that other people might be judging them based on their looks or their
actions. As a result, these individuals tend to stick to group norms and try to avoid situations in which they might look bad
or feel embarrassed.
∙ Self-awareness requires self-examination. Be aware, though, that an honest, non-judgmental self-analysis isn’t easy.
We tend to berate ourselves for our failings or fantasize about how great we are, when neither is actually the case.
∙ We all have a unique mix of “good” and “bad” traits, but we are largely unaware of them. In order to self-reflect
objectively, we need to quiet our minds and open our hearts, forgiving ourselves for our imperfections and
offering ourselves kudos, but only where we deserve them.
∙ Increasing self-awareness of false attitudes or inappropriate behaviors requires peace of mind, time, attention and
focus. Knowing ahead of time that we can indeed change in positive ways through deeper self-awareness makes it
worth working on those personal qualities we most value. But first we must look within ourselves through self
examination to see what’s there, which is often less obvious than we think.
