Self awareness

Self-awareness is the capacity for introspection and the ability to reconcile oneself as an individual separate from the environment

and other individuals. (Wikipedia)

Authenticity

Authenticity is the degree to which one is true to one's own personality, spirit, or character, despite external pressures; the 

conscious self is seen as coming to terms with being in a material world and with encountering external forces, pressures and

influences which are very different from, and other than, itself

Example
