Unlike self-awareness, which in a philosophical context is being conscious of oneself as an individual, self-consciousness, being excessively conscious of one's appearance or manner, can be a problem at times.

Self-consciousness is often associated with shyness and embarrassment, in which case a lack of pride and low self-esteem can result.

In a positive context, self-consciousness may affect the development of identity, for it is during periods of high self-consciousness that people come the closest to knowing themselves objectively.
Self-consciousness affects people in varying degrees,
- as some people are constantly self-monitoring or self-involved,
- while others are completely oblivious about themselves.

cely zivot som bol sociofobny, hanblivy, bojazlivy [irl, na kybci mi jebalo vzdy]
a teraz skusam opacny extrem
a potom ked budem mat dostatok dat z tohto
tak upadnem do mega-popici-analytickeho ultmu
najdem stred
a budem dokonaly
