Does your self exist?

Our natural, unreflective conception of the self seems to have six main elements. 

First, the self is thought of as a thing, in some sense. 
Second, it is thought of as specifically mental, in some sense.
 

Third, it is thought of as single. 

Fourth, it is thought of as something that has a certain character or personality.

 Fifth, it is thought of as something that is ontologically distinct from all other things. Sixth, it is thought of as something that is a subject of experience, a conscious feeler, thinker, chooser. In considering each element in turn, I use the expression ‘the self’ freely, as a loose name for all the undeniably real phenomena that lead us to think and talk in terms of the self. This doesn’t rule out the possibility that the best thing to say, in the end, is that there is no such thing.
