Self patter

Used to describe a person who self congratulates infront of a group of others in the hopes he will raise his social ranking. In most cases, the self pat is detected and the social ranking of the individual may decrease due to their arogant behaviour.
A self patter is described as someone sends an email to a group of coworkers saying, "Hi guys, I just spent the past two hours working out the bugs in our SQL database; it was really really difficult. Rest assured, i've fixed the issue."

Someone in the chain of emails may detect the self patting and send a snarky response email saying, "way to go man!". In this case, the social value of the individual may be descreased and a "bwah" will follow, (see "bwah"). Someone may also mock them with the presentation of a "way to go man" aka "wayty" award.

If the self patting is cleverly disguised, the social value of the individual may be increased.

Self conscious

Caring what other people think of you is not the same thing as allowing other people to influence your decisions or what you like and dislike (or who you are). It is possible to be who you are and still care what people think of you.
Everybody is at least somewhat self conscious, no matter the image they portray themselves as. Usually the ones most desperate to convince others they don't care what anybody thinks of them are the most self conscious people in the world.
