Differentiate between self and personality.

Answer:

Ans.

Self is awareness of our being, i.e., our existence. It is the awareness of one's individuality and uniqueness.

Self is the core whereas personality is its manifestation.

Personality is the expression of this notion of self, i.e., how do I behave across the situation based on my awareness of my being in the world.

Let's take an example—when I say "I am one who easily gets hurt". This description of my ‘self’ leads to me being a very emotional, sensitive and touchy person. All my interactions and relations with the world and vice-versa are related to traits-described above what is called my ‘personality’.
