Can Tsunderes know they're Tsunderes?

I feel like that level of self-awareness would make any other attempts to be tsundere half-assed or overexaggerated.

Yes, there are shows and manga that tsunderes are aware that they are tsunderes but still continues being one.

Not tsun

I've seen a couple of times where the girl fully realizes they're being difficult but MC is too dumb/girl is too emotionally weak to change

Do they realize it when someone tells them, or would it fly over their head?

I'm aware that I'm tsundere but i can't help it when I'm doing stupid.

It's pretty common for tsunderes to have inner monologues about themselves being unable to be honest.

I think she once beat herself over acting like a tsun with MC.
Only the MC was fully aware and knew she didn't mean it.

She's not tsundere. She's kuudere.

...

braindead != tsundere

You got a point

Tsundere is that you know you are attracted and so ysou try to hide it by acting like a jerk. How can you be unaware of any of it?

She's not tsundere, she's shit and wannabe

I mean, people have called me a Tsun but that's only because I can't take a compliment and push everyone who come close to me, consciously or not.

there are people that are that emotionally stupid

I love it when a tsundere gives a harsh reaction and then immediately thinks, "Argh, why did I do that?" with frustrated mortification.
I feel like that's more common in male tsunderes, though.

I don't think that many tsunderes are self aware of how they act in front of the person they like.

...

Tsunderes that are more dere than tsun are the best.

What does that image have to do with anything?
