I somewhat disagree. It's not that verbal violence gets more attention, it's that when people don't listen to you, you are compelled to turn up your volume, and make your point louder and more intense.
It means that you track what you are actually doing, and understand why you are doing it. (It’s a separate skill from being able to rationalize your actions. The difference manifests in your ability to control your behavior to do whatever you want.)

That's deep. I think when most people use the phrase, they mean "you're not aware of how I see you", meaning "you're being annoying and don't realize it". Which doesn't have to do with awareness of the self, but of others perceptions of one's self.

Does self awareness as you define it have a cost? Does your brain have to perform some sort of extra processing in order to be aware of the self? Why isn't self awareness automatic and always on?
