Self-awareness is the awareness of oneself as a separate and distinct individual. This involves recognizing oneself as possessing unique characteristics, thoughts, and emotions, and understanding oneself as a functioning human being in the world. Self-recognition and self-conceptualization are related but distinct concepts, referring to identifying oneself in relation to others and developing a sense of one's own identity over time. Self-evaluation refers to the process of assessing oneself and one's performance in specific contexts. While related, these concepts are not equivalent to self-awareness.
