Rarely.
I don't think there is such a thing as "self." I really only wonder if I'm doing what I want to be doing right now.
I mean, I occasionally have trouble balancing what other people think is right (Superego), the image of myself I've so far tried to create by my past actions (Ego), and what I'm in the mood for at the moment (Id), but other than that, I don't think I really experience a "self."
Self might simply be an illusion. Or rather, if I must define self, I'd say we're ourselves regardless of what we're doing. There's no such thing as a true self, just more satisfying ways of being. Self is, essentially, the endless process of choice we experience every second we're alive and conscious.
