It is funny to hear the coach of our academy football team say this because that coach was on a self-awareness kick. I have always wondered if his team wasn’t self-awareness-obsessed or if they were actually a high-school team. I don’t know. I’d like to think it’s the latter, but I guess my question is whether you know of anyone that is self-aware or self-obsessed.
The last few years our team has had some pretty self-aware individuals as well as some very self-obsessed ones. The self-minded coach was the exception. He was an obsessive, obsessed with the football team, as well as the academic standings. He was also self-obsessed. I think he thinks he controls the team, but he is actually the one controlling it.
He did have the ability to control himself, but he was not self-aware. He was an obsessive about the team and the academic standings, as well as himself. The self-obsessed assistant coach was the exception. He was the same in that respect. He was a self-obsessed, self-aware individual who wanted to know everything about the game. He was self-obsessed with the idea that he could control it.
I think it’s important to understand that self-awareness only works when we have self-awareness. Without self-awareness, we are just blind. We don’t know how we feel or what we want. We don’t even know why we’re feeling what we’re feeling. It’s easy to look at someone and say, “He’s self-aware”, but that’s not the test. The test is when we realize we are not self-aware.
For a long time the only way to become self-aware was to find something you were not aware of and become aware of it. Self aware was a way of becoming self aware, and it only makes sense that it would also work in the opposite direction, with self-awareness being the opposite of self-obsession.
I think there’s a distinction to be made between self-awareness and self-obsession. For one, a lot of us are aware of our self-obsession. We’ve noticed how we’re in a state of constant self-obsession, and we haven’t been able to break free. I think our culture has gotten overly obsessed with self-awareness and self-awareness has become a catchphrase.
However, self-obsession can be a form of self-awareness. For instance, we tend to think we need to be aware of our own self-obsession so we can stop it. This is why we go to therapy, or get involved in a program to reduce our self-obsession. It’s also why we do a lot of things in life, which is why we do them for a living. However, we all know we are always self-obsessed.
This is why we read, write, attend workshops, and watch movies and tv shows that make us think we should be more self-aware. I see this as a good thing because it tells others that we are aware of our own self-obsession.
Our self-obsession can be incredibly destructive. We get so wrapped up in our own fantasies of greatness that we lose sight of the fact that it is us who are the problem.
It’s amazing how many of us like to think we are smarter than those around us because our heads are always wrapped up in the idea that we are something other than ourselves — even if we are as smart as the guy in the next cubicle. I’ve known people who would be a lot smarter than me for years who are very insecure and have no interest in learning. This is why I still love to go to conferences and do workshops that are focused on improving our own self-awareness.
