Anyone with personal experience on becoming self aware?

Mindfulness/Vipassana meditation.

At least 6 months of daily practice to even begin ... and decades more.

Lots of online sources.

Best book is "Mindfulness in Plain English" by Bhante Gunaratana.

You can become self-aware without meditation, but the problem is that when we open the door to our feelings, we tend to block out the unpleasant ones. And these are the ones that control us.

Meditation is the easiest way to learn how to emotionally & mentally relax so that we CAN open up fully.

And the longer we have been a meditator, the more we start to relax even when not meditating. This is when we start to become self-aware, although inner feelings of wholeness and well-being will begin to develop well before then.

Yes. You have to have a degree of maturity - provide for others, and they will view you in a better light.

Do for others, and your karma will come back.

Be thoughtful and considerate. You will be actualized soon enough

I've never been aware of myself. Until... oh... wait... something is happening! Oh my gosh! I just became aware of myself!

You are correct. Yahoo isn't the best place for this sort of discussion. However, I can tell you from personal experience that meditation is key in becoming self-aware.

Read Joseph Campbell. After that, read Carl Jung. Be sure not to start with Jung. Start with Campbell then move on to Jung.

Jung is more for exploring your darker self, becoming self aware in that way. Since that's part of you, you can't complete your journey to self-awareness and self-actualization without it, but it's not a good place to start. Like, you wouldn't want to start down your path by making a Red Book, but eventually making a Red Book will greatly further you along your way. Also, Campbell is a very easy read, easy to understand. Jung, not so much.

My point is, already having a solid foundation from Campbell will be what you will need to venture into Jung, the difference between Campbell and Jung being quite akin to the difference between the philosophies of Winnie the Pooh and Sigmund Freud, not that Campbell is at all childish by any means. Actually, to fully understand that analogy, you will have had to have read the very short book The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff, which I'd highly recommend if you haven't read it.
