There's a pair of famous quotes from Fyodor Dostoevsky that I think summarize this thread quite well:
"To be acutely self-conscious is a terrible disease."
-Notes from the Underground
“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
-The Brothers Karamazov
