I just read every section that sounded relevant and he sounds like a great guy besides the religious fundamentalism. Wrote poetry, took his kids on picnics, encouraged the american public to work with Obama on stopping climate change...
Metacognition is a sub-portion of self-awareness that does not look at behavior.
That's fair, I glossed over the "act" part of your statement
'self-awareness' changes meaning somewhat depending on whether it's being used philosophically, psychoanalitically, etc... I am saying your definition is more exclusionary, though, treating it more as a virtue to strive for rather than just an action one takes.
Also fair, but the context here is it being used as a compliment from a therapist
Functionally, if the only self-awareness is accurate self-awareness, then it can only be an advantage, and thus positive.
Ah I see, I misunderstood what you meant by positive; I thought you were referring to the bit about being aware of your strengths.
I do think exclusively accurate self-awareness can absolutely be a disadvantage though.
I would also argue that awareness does not need to be reflective of reality - you can be aware of hallucinations you are experiencing, or you can be aware that you are experiencing hallucinations.
Mm- I think I agree semantically, like technically it can mean that, but it's pretty confusing. Consider how the session note looks when written each way:
Client reported experiencing auditory perception in the absence of external stimuli.
vs
Client reported awareness of auditory perception in the absence of external stimuli
I'd argue self-appreciation and self-deprication can both get in the way of self-awareness. Someone experiencing clinically significant grandiosity is likely lacking in self awareness just as someone experiencing clinically significant negative self talk (i.e., cognitive distortion) is likely lacking in self awareness
It's also worth pointing out, I think, that if you're only aware of your weaknesses and such, but don't/can't recognize your strengths, then you're not really that self-aware

Are there more than like 3 or so?
Bambi's (the baby deer on the mug) mom dies in the opening scene of the movie
Edit: my bad it was not the opening scene- more like the middle apparently? I misremembered
Do you by chance live in a relatively sparsely populated area? People are in each others' personal space constantly in densely populated areas
I roll around in my attic every morning so I'll smell like a holiday
It's definitely not the joke, but you can't know that it wasn't an intentional part of the joke being made
I think having the incorrect date for Mario makes it be more funnier
It's not coming through. Try again

The latter, to me, sounds self contradictory
I am not at all viewing it as only able to be positive; it should be accurate. Why call it awareness if it's not reflecting reality?
That's not self awareness, that's meta cognition

I think it is an important part of the joke, because it reinforces that no other types of games exist in this guys mind
Haha awesome
