Self Conscious versus Insecure

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

Nived inspired me to write this up after a sweet conversation about the differences between self consciousness and insecurity.

First the definitions: self conscious and insecurity.

The answer is pretty obvious. But I’d like to clarify one thing, our discussion of self conscious referred to awareness of others observing one, not awareness of self. I see myself, and my life, as something else. . . . .Off Every Day

As for lack of confidence, is that a part of being aware of others observing one? No. More than ever, despite my own insecurities (pun intended) about the topic, I know that, no, being self conscious does not in and of itself indicate a lack of confidence.

What it could indicate, is vanity, not necessarily but there is a chance. Of course, being self referral, did I say that? nope, yeah, so being self referral I wouldn’t agree that self conscious people are also automatically to be assumed to be insecure, this can occur simultaneously, in fact I would say that insecure people are self conscious, but not a given the other way around.

Where does this all lead?

Nowhere

You Feel Your Own Pain – John Lennon

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

Do you ever feel pain when listening to John Lennon? How weird is that? What kind of phenomena is this when an unknown human being, personally, creates music (freaky enough as it is), dies at 40 and then I feel pain when I listen to this music?

As Dingo boy would say, get over it.

But still. Even after all these years, I miss John Lennon.

The human condition is such a pain. Pathetic.
