The problem isn't YOUR self-awareness, it's everyone else's LACK of it.
This might be part of the issue but in reality high self awareness can also lead to excessive overthinking, ruminating, self criticism and hypervigilance. This is mechanics at play that are the root of some people suffering depression. By no means does this mean to become less selfaware rather to become aware of this pattern and recognise these thoughts: become more aware of ones self awareness.
Not just self awareness but also awareness about state of world. Existential dread is not anxiety.
What's the difference? Scale?
Rational concerns about the very real impending ecosystem collapse vs irrational concerns like a bear attacking me in my living room. I do not live in an area with bears. To be clear I'm not actually concerned about bears necessarily but my body is in full fight or flight survival mode while I'm just trying to catch up on my shows.
Yeah this, but most of society seems to happy to ignore those very real and rational existential threads.
