You being glib, m8?
If there isn't a sense of self, how do you locate it?
You just locate something that feels like it's in the center.
Typically, that means you've shifted your vantage to something that is now "the center", until you try to look at it and shift it again...

Not existing as a discreet experiential object ≠ not having the illusion of such floating around in your general perception of the world

For sure, that is kind of what I am getting at with more subtle senses of the self.

See, I'd argue at this point you're more talking about a world model.
I've had full disintegration of the sense of self. Nothing there, anywhere. Was pretty shocking.
Still, I have a tendency to get absorbed in "selfing". It isn't the same thing. Is certainly not enlightenment.

And for the habit of perceiving things that way to form, if it ever does. I don't go around persistently feeling like that.
When I do, it's starkly different from my "normal" experience of the world.

No-self is a world of no boundaries.
You get the weirdest perceptual "glitches", self comes and goes (and is noticed as being just sensations), perspective constantly bounces...
Normie perception feels more solid, "grounded" while simultaneously abstracted, filtered, alienated.
