Distinctions that I can make that make more sense to ME
I speak in an ontological sense. That which is the answer to the question "Who Am I?" ~ I - is what is normally what I think of as my Being - normally spelled with a capital B. Whom I am being at any moment I can presume to be subsumed to my Being as behavior & experience - not necessarily well integrated within human being.
My self & personality are two other distinctions which are more the machinery of the past - past experience & the semantics of encountering & creating meaning. This is stuff I encounter including the stuff from others: parents, friends, associates, etc. - all past. Be it noted yesterday for me that I suspect most of my public school teachers have expired already, as well as my parents. May the good ones RIP & the rest observe the Golden Rule from the other point of view in their NOW.
So the distinctions personality & self can be separated as distinct as easily:

So the distinctions personality & self can be separated as distinct as easily:
- Personality - that which is composed of desires & passions & behavior attributed to what's possible via the physical body - the inherited characteristics create the predominate possibilities there.
- Self - that which is composed of the inner self normally thought of as mind .& mind chatter.- [see also: item 17186]

Whatever #WTF that means.
You’ve taken two other words rather than “I” and substituted them (reusing “I”)
Whatever #WTF that means.
