Nowadays, there are more self-aware people than ever before, making it easier to spot those who are clueless. Dr. Kinga Mnich has shared her thoughts on the significance ofself-awareness.“Self-awareness is a central concept in social psychology, referring to the ability to recognize and understand one’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Self-awareness involves reflecting on one’s motivations, beliefs, and values, and being mindful of how one’s actions may affect oneself and others. This is especially important in the context of online interactions, where the dynamics of virtual communication are quite different from face-to-face conversations. The lack of self-awareness in online interactions often enables people to bluntly attack others without being aware of the consequences. Sometimes content can be internalized as one’s own belief system due to exposure without reflection.”

It can be funny, sad, or even infuriating to see people so unaware of their actions that they manage to project on other people. Dr. Kinga Mnich sheds light on the causes behind such behavior.“There are several psychological mechanisms and biases that cause people to unconsciously project their own traits or behaviors onto others while remaining unaware of their own actions. One such mechanism is projection bias, where individuals attribute their own thoughts, feelings, or motives to others without realizing it. This happens because people tend to assume that others think and feel the same way they do. Unfortunately, this bias can also lead to intolerance and discrimination because personal thoughts and beliefs are being understood as the only reality and truth.Another contributing factor is cognitive dissonance, which occurs when individuals feel uneasy due to holding conflicting beliefs or attitudes. To reduce this discomfort, they may project their own undesirable traits onto others to maintain a sense of consistency in their self-image.”

And lastly, Dr. Kinga Mnich shared how the phenomenon of being “called out” or “exposed” for lacking self-awareness influences people’s behavior or attitudes toward self-reflection: “It can go either way. It can lead to a moment of awakening and desire to learn more about themselves. Or it can increase the subsequent behavior because someone feels shamed and pressured.”
