A lack of self-awareness means something can’t be identified to allow a change and offer an improved perception. Second, a lack of self-awareness puts a person at risk of being invited; if the self can be identified, then others will be a bigger struggle.

Self-delusion hurts the self and others.

Elements link to the early life environment, past on education, filtering in the perception, cognitive bias, fear of being wrong, fear of truth, and fear of change. The mind may assume more than it actually knows when making connections and understanding the habit loop, cause and effect, morality, purpose and time perception. Covert or overt abusive people are lower on the scale with higher levels of delusion about the self and accountability, unable to recognise balance and accountability. The emotional intellegence average age can be linked back to childhood.

To understand how someone lacks a total lack of self-awareness can be hard as the human perception will assume others from its own level of awareness. Narcissism will put a person lower down the scale. Fantasy issues keeps self-awareness at a distance.

Always speak to a professional about a disruptive gaslighting person who will use a victim card or abuse to keep their perception as the priority, the action will be at the expense of others and the long-term mental health.
