She’s a good singer, as well." Robert /iIzntFeoZw She’s really good, but she always denies it, especially in interviews all the time. She played Joan Jett and she’s playing all the time in that. "She’s always really self-conscious about playing. Nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to any part of your body jiggling. I dunno who needs this video today, but I got about a thousand comments from young people on my Instagram about how it’s made them feel less self conscious about their arms.
It can be used to describe a general feeling, or a specific insecurity about something.
Self-conscious does not mean the same thing as self– aware, which refers to having an active awareness of your feelings and how you treat others.įeeling self-conscious is never pleasant, so the term is always used negatively. A lot of people agree that the best way to avoid feeling self-conscious is to be yourself and be comfortable with who you are-to be self-confident. People who are not otherwise self-conscious may sometimes feel that way around people who they’ve just met, especially if they’re trying to make a good impression. Or it could be something they feel uncomfortable doing in front of other people, such as performing in front of a crowd. This could be an aspect of their appearance that they’re insecure about, such as their skin, their teeth, or their height. Some people might not be self-conscious in general, but about something specific. If a person is self-conscious in general, it usually means they are very sensitive to how other people perceive them, think about them, or judge them-they feel people’s eyes on them all the time. If a person is self-conscious, they are likely also shy, easily embarrassed, and anxious. Conscious comes from the Latin conscius, which means “sharing knowledge” and is based on the Latin scīre, “to know.” In general, conscious means “aware of one’s own existence, sensations, thoughts, surroundings, etc.” In self-conscious, though, it means something more like “sensitive to something”-that something being what others think about oneself. In short, I don't think they're completely synonymous, but the meanings are close.The first records of self-conscious come from the 1600s, but it didn’t begin to be used in its current sense until around the 1800s. In any case, I generally understand it in the sense of second meaning at : "conscious of oneself or one's own being.", which is a often positive, unless forthright, confident or brazen behaviour is desired! The negative sense in "lacking self-consciousness" perhaps comes from "lacking", which often points up something that might be desirable.
Note also the meaning "without affectation or pretence" at : this is generally positive. "When speaking in public, being unselfconscious is often helpful." Negation with "not" rather than "un-" might be more natural in some cases: "Guilia really put Sam at ease, so he was not self conscious when he had to perform.". "Being unselfconscious" is more of a temporary state, and I generally hear it as a more positive thing: e.g. "Steven completely lacked self-consciousness at the party and ended up really upsetting Guilia". When applied to a person (rather than say a text), "lacking self-consciousness" suggests not having the capacity for it, which may well be a negative, since self-consciousness is often a desirable trait. I generally agree with TaliesinMerlin's comment.
