Answer 1

It means insecure or uncomfortable in your own skin. People could be self conscious about numerous things.

I am very insecure about everything, or so I've been told.

Answer 2

Heya,

Self-consciousness is an acute sense of self-awareness. It is a preoccupation with oneself, as opposed to the philosophical state of self-awareness, which is the awareness that one exists as an individual being. An unpleasant feeling of self-consciousness may occur when we realize that we are being watched or observed, the feeling that "everyone is looking" at us. Some people are habitually more self-conscious than others. Feelings of self-consciousness are sometimes associated with shyness or paranoia.

When feeling self-conscious, one becomes aware of even the smallest of one's own actions. Such awareness can impair one's ability to perform complex actions. For example, a piano player may "choke", lose confidence, and even lose the ability to perform at the moment they notice the audience. This is a function of the psychological phenomenon of social facilitation. As self-consciousness fades one may regain the ability to "lose one's self".

Adolescence is believed to be a time of heightened self-consciousness. A person with a chronic tendency toward self-consciousness may be shy or introverted.

Answer 3

it is nothing more than being very aware of yourself!!! simple as that...I could go into it more, but that just about covers it!!!

Answer 4

It means that you're shy about the way you look and think people will judge something about your body, so you try to hide it.

Simply, when someone is self conscious,  it means they lack confidence in themselves.  

Answer 5

Self-conscious means you are always worrying about how you look.
