S:0745 Distinction: Self-Aware vs. Self-Absorbed – Steve's 3

(Distinctions are subtleties of language that, when gotten, cause a shift in a belief, behavior, value or attitude.)

Being self-aware is being conscious of your thoughts, feelings, presence, direction, desires, talents, and joys. When you are self-aware you are open to feel a connection with others.

A self-absorbed person is closed off, may have a false sense of importance, and is nearly always in fear of something, such as not being accepted, included, or perhaps even wanted. A self-absorbed person feels separate-from.

Self-aware does not make you perfect, but it does let you enjoy your imperfections! The self-absorbed person tries to hide their imperfections.
