One can be self-concious and un-self-aware at the same time.

Often, those who are most self-concious are the most un-self-aware.

It's something we came up with yesterday, while somewhat wired, so I was interested to see if it held water now I've, um, sobered up.

I think I'm more self aware now than I used to be, or at least I try to be, and I know I'm FAR less self-concious. I used to be *cripplingly* self concious, and when I look back at how in my own world I was self-awareness speaking, I *cringe*.

I don't know how the two are related though. Maybe it comes through understanding yourself and accepting yourself more, you seek the validation and/or approval of others less? Or is that chicken and egg? By seeking the validation and/or approval of others less, you learn better who you are as a person?

Jury is out on why, but I think the theory is sound.

I agree with the statement (and sushidog's expansion on the theme) however the why escapes me.
