self awareness
The sense of always knowing where the
'X' is, as in 'You are here. (with
arrow pointing to an 'X')' Especially important trait to know you have if you always seem to be finding yourself in some kind of spot, as 'X' always marks
the spot. So where else would you have expected to be then? However, most people who are REALLY self aware have no clue so they continue to blame others. Once you come to understand that you have this self awareness, then you can effectively begin to
accept this challenge of always being on the 'spot' because you now know where you are and can begin to constructively and successfully
deal with it. Almost everyone has this self awareness, but very few are truly aware of it. These folks are also said to be 'soul searching' and look most often EVERYWHERE but inside themselves where it always resides.

A term referring to how a person
learns from the
mistakes of himself and others, and is capable of various means
courtesy of being so.
Example:
"
Skynet becomes self-aware and launches
nuclear weapons upon the human race...it becomes self-aware because it
learns rapidly, to the point that it believes that human beings are obsolete. AI must NOT become self-aware!!"

Self-Aware

A term to describe a character/AI in a game who is aware that they are not real. Generally there are two outcomes to this: they may be completely normal about it, or they may have an
existential crisis. However, there are cases where they "use" this to their advantage, or as a way of scaring the viewer.
A character who reveals themselves to be
self-aware is said to be "
Breaking the fourth wall."
Example:
Bugs Bunny of
Looney Tunes fame is a
self-aware bunny who usually does at least one aside to the viewers, usually a comment about his opponent or their attributes, or a reference to a famous person at the time. One example of him using this to his advantage is when
Gossamer is his opponent. After Gossamer tricks Bugs into thinking he is dead (again), he hoists Bugs in the air by his neck, but Bugs chokes out, "Do you ever get that feeling that you're being watched?" and points at the screen. A terrified Gossammer proceeds to scream, "PEOPLE?! AHHHHH!!!" as he retreats from the screen, blasting through several walls in the process.
Nagging Self-Awareness

The little voice in the back of your head that warns when something could end poorly for you. Commonly confused with the
conscience. A Nagging Self-Awareness is different from a conscience
in the sense that, while a conscience generally stops one from doing something that could harm, or
hinder everyone involved, a Nagging Self-Awareness tends only to speak up when it's owner in particular stands to lose something from the deal.
Example:
"
Ol' Frank always did have a talent for
ignoring his Nagging Self-Awareness."
