My first thought was "insecure". Self-conscious is when you're aware of yourself, insecure and maybe embarrassed
When you walk into a room of people and everyone stares at you, you may feel self-conscious

You're nervous, embarrassed because you're concerned about what others think of you or your actions.
"I'm always a little self-conscious when I bring an umbrella to school."
