That makes no sense whatsoever!!!
Self-awareness, i.e. knowing one's self hasn't a thing to do with the external world's perceptions of, and preoccupations with people.
If you already have self-awareness, maybe not! But I think being a more unusual person can make it more difficult to figure out who exactly you are. If you're not like other people you know, you have to do more work in figuring out your own identity.
Personally, it took me a while to figure out I'm an ENTP and I've heard similar accounts from other female ENTPs. The ENTP archetype in our society is more associated with masculine traits so being a female ENTP is a bit of a cultural disconnect. Had I been an ESFJ or some other more "typical" female type I don't think it would have been nearly so difficult to figure out who I was.
