Some thoughts on self awareness, hopefully I have improved since trying to see ego has consciousness years ago can’t remember when, got into trouble with Moll’.

1 Self awareness. Conscious use of multiple sensory perceptions and active interaction with the environment.

2 Emotional awareness. Emotional intelligence is the ability to be aware of emotions to be able to regulate them.

3. Everyone has their own set of emotions tied to their life experience which are dynamic, overlap, can rise, peak, fall, over different durations. The range of emotions is debatable from 80 to over 350+.

4. The ability to see yourself from a distance. Observing yourself from a distance, like watching yourself in a game or a movie, and the ability to recall that.

Theory of mind: this theory says people become aware that other people have their own, different, thoughts and feelings to you. In neurotypical people, this usually happens around 3-5 years of age. In neurodivergent people, it can take much longer, especially in boys.

It’s not exactly self-awareness, it’s more awareness of self in relation to other people.
