The '''self-absorption''' [[paradox]] describes the [[contradictory]] [[association]] whereby higher levels of [[self]]-[[awareness]] are simultaneously associated with higher levels of [[psychological]] distress and with psychological well-being.

In 1999, Trapnell and Campbell [1] explored the self-absorption paradox in relation to [[private]] ''self-consciousness'' or [[attention]] to internal aspects of [[the self]]. They concluded that the [[relationship]] of self-awareness to psychological distress derived from a ruminative aspect of private self-consciousness, whereas the relationship of self-awareness to [[psychological]] well-being was attributed to self-[[contemplative]] [[reflection]].
