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.

Yes, but I don't think the second statement is ALWAYS true.

Hence the 'often' :)

I don't think it's always true either. I have noticed though, often those who are self-concious are so painfully aware of their own perceived flaws, that they don't get a real picture of who they are, or how others see them, so end up with a really skewed self-image.

Does that make sense?
