Personal Self-Awareness
A psychological state in which a person is aware of his inner thoughts, feelings, desires, and personal motives without being directly observed or influenced by others. In this state, a person focuses on a deep understanding of themselves and an internal evaluation of their behaviors and attitudes, which increases their ability to think critically and make decisions based on internal values and principles, rather than simply conforming to social norms or group expectations. From a psychological point of view, awareness of one’s inner self leads to increased attention to internal subjective experiences and personal feelings, allowing a person to adjust his behavior in accordance with his moral and personal standards and to independently assess the potential consequences of his actions. This type of awareness also promotes individual responsibility, ethical thinking, and the avoidance of impulsive or uncontrollable behaviors that may occur in a group context or under the influence of crowds. Socially, self-awareness explains how people can control their behavior in groups or crowds. A person balances group emotions with their personal desires, reducing the likelihood of committing actions that may contradict their beliefs or moral standards.
