Self-awareness is the only explicit understanding that one exists. Furthermore, it includes the concept that one exists as an individual, separate from other people, with private thoughts. It may also include the understanding that other people are similarly self-aware. Self-awareness remains a critical mystery in philosophy, psychology, biology, and artificial intelligence.

Self-consciousness is credited only with the development of identity. In an epistemological sense, self-consciousness is a personal understanding of the very core of one’s own identity. It is during periods of self-consciousness that people come the closest to knowing themselves objectively. Jean Paul Sartre describes self-consciousness as being “non-positional”, in that it is not from any location in particular.

Self-consciousness plays a large role in behavior, as it is common to act differently when people “lose one’s self in a crowd”. It is the basis for human traits, such as accountability and conscientiousness. Self-consciousness affects people in varying degrees, as some people self-monitor (or scrutinize) themselves more than others. Different cultures vary in the importance they place on self-consciousness.

Self Aware – The intelligence that can comprehend the understanding of time and space. Dolphins are self aware – they ” understand ” that the reflection in the mirror is themselves. They showed a live video stream to a group of Dolphins , of the trainers feeding the near by different tanks of Dolphins. They would watch instinctively and not bolt for the top until they saw the trainer coming to THEIR pool with the food. They understood their place in time and space – Self Aware. They probably also understand that they are in captivity. That’s a whole ‘nother issue……..

Self consciousness – The intelligence to comprehend the understanding of how your actions are interpreted by others.You have the intelligence to expect a reaction by others if you hit a woman ? You are aware of your action on others.

Self awareness is understanding what is important to you, understanding how you experience things, knowing what you want, knowing how you feel, and knowing how you come across to others and self-consciousness is a personal understanding of the very core of one’s own identity. It is during periods of self-consciousness that people come the closest to knowing themselves objectively.

Self consciousness usually refers to feelings of inferiority in some area of ones self, and is a used in a negative context.

Self awareness is simply knowing one’s self (in whatever area it is implied) and although is neither positive or negative, is usually used in a positive context.

EXAMPLE

As soon as she smiled, the young girl self consiously put her hand over her mouth to cover her braces.

The old man decided that he would go camping in the woods by himself, as an exercise in self-awareness, to see if he really was afraid of killer rabbits.

Self awarness means to be aware about himself or to know about himself. Self consciousness is the extreme level when someone becomes conscious about himself

Both are similar, but “self-consciousness” is often used when you’re referring to some moral standard, while “self-awareness” is more general.
