The field of psychology attempts to define it with circular definitions. The truth is, we don't really know how to define self... not objectively at least.
In a few words, self is consciousness. Consciousness escapes objective description (poor example: your experience of the colour red, is it the same as mine?). If a definition requires an objective description, then self is un-definable.

I believe I exist because there is a me,but what is me? who am I? what is this self? that I've known for so long that consists of my name,family,likes,dislikes,attributes,personality,desires,wishes etc ah yes i see! it is just a creation of the powerful mind. Signals from the mind to body and everything self do not depend on a me. Nothing does. The mind is beautiful,but a dangerous and misleading thing. Thank you brain, but I see the light now! it's so clear, holy crap "I" can't believe "I've" been fooled for so long. Everything is a concept. Now I am free from pure illusion, no more victim to give guilt,sadness,fear etc too. No more person to experience life's pain. There is no self.
