self-message 

Business jargon for to tell oneself, admit to oneself, remind oneself. Can also be used in a non-business context.
Best deployed in the tone of cold, calculated impersonality so beloved of financial types.
Also useful for the handwringing mustn't judge self-help sector
Ryan needs to self-message that running a million dollar a week loss is not a sustainable business proposition.

Rhonda, I think it would be great if you could self-message tha t maybe continuing your meth addiction isn't the optimum life choice for your 8 children

self-goebbel

When one intentionally censors himself, usually in an electronic medium such as facebook, after posting something he knows is inflammatory in nature and is not worth the inevitable trouble that will arise because of it.
Pants typed something in the chat window he knew was unfair and judgemental, and before pressing enter, self-goebbeled himself and deleted the offending sentence.

self-message 

A business/psychobabble jargon alternative to "tell oneself". Best used by people who want to fool others into thinking they are

a. Extraordinarily efficient and professional
b. Entirely empathetic and non-judgemental
"I think Bill needs to self-message that his turning up drunk to the weekly efficiency meetings is entirely inappropriate"

"I think you need to self-message that selling your children into slavery is not a viable solution to your financial issues involving access to crack"

He liked to see himself talk, so he made a self-vid of his talking into his cell phone's video camera.
He was self-viding himself with his video camera, while he sang his favorite song.

self-groupie 

Or simply 'groupie'...
Much like a 'selfie', this is when two or more people pose for a photo that is simultaneously being taken by one of the photo subjects, normally with the intent to upload to social media after it has been taken.
Also like a 'selfie' this photo is taken with one member of the group extending an arm to capture all of the members (and his/herself) in the photo as well.
By the pure definition of the world 'self', Ellen Degeneres' photo taken with several of her fellow Hollywood stars at the #Oscars2014, could not have been a 'selfie'; instead, it would be referred to as a 'self-groupie' or simply a 'groupie'. This is not to be confused with the 'Groupies' that hang around stars and famous people, hoping to be seen or included in that lifestyle of glitz and fame.

self muterating 

When one is speaking on a conference call, but no one can hear them because they are on mute.
On the call, we asked Joe a question, but we couldn't hear his reply because he was self muterating.
