What is this self?

What is this essential self that we are being? Isn't this self continuously shifting, changing, metamorphosing into something else. Is it not continually under construction and in danger always of collapsing, depending upon the circumstances. Not only that, but doesn't this self that we are being, threaten the so called self of the other, exposing them also to risk or harm in the very collapse of our own fragile modulation. Can we really be said to have a self at all if it cannot be anchored either within our body or indeed in any space? What then is this self?
