Self-Conscious Quotes

On noticing yourself a little too much.

A few speakers here own up to being self-conscious about a lot of things, treating it as a shared, almost universal trait rather than a flaw to hide. One even claims to be the first to admit it, framing honesty as its own kind of Awareness.


Not everyone agrees it applies to them, though — one quote flatly denies getting self-conscious, tying vanity to a different kind of Identity entirely. Another observation turns outward, noting how self-conscious and actory a public figure can seem under Judgment.
