'self-conscious' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'censure individual unsettling' is the wordplay.
'individual' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral for one).
'unsettling' indicates an anagram.
'censure'+'i'='censurei'
'censurei' is an anagram of 'INSECURE'.

'them and making them' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for insecure that I've seen before include "Lacking self-confidence or assurance" , "Sinecure for those lacking in confidence" , "uncertain" , "Wavering" , "Defenceless" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
