Interesting.

I don't seem to have any such perception. I see what I see, I type what
I type, but I'm not, metaphysically speaking, directly present in any of
my own perceptions.

I have no perception at all of being "inside my head" -- I am my head.
=P It seems perfectly natural to me.

People are always talking about this concept of "self esteem" WTF is
that? I mean it's meaningless to either hold one's self in esteem or
contempt.

Generally, by my appearance and sometimes by my actions, I do display a
lack of self-consciousness. =\ I'm not sure if that's directly related.
