Is "Self" the same as "personality" or different?

Here's my story of why we need bodies:
(1)It's so I can tell us apart. I'm "in here" and you're "out there". (Yeah, and I'm the good looking and smart one, too. Hmm I see the codeine is kicking in ....).
(2) It's so I can tell you from someBODY (nyuck nycuk) else.
(3) And it's so we can communicate. My body does things to the air, and the air does things to your ears, etc ....

Is self not what and who we believe we are? Is it not what special physical characteristics we have, what our attidue is, what our priorities are, how we go about our needs?.

Does a soul have any needs without a body?

And it's so we can communicate. My body does things to the air, and the air does things to your ears

Do angles communicate with God? Do they have "ears?" Does God talk to you, or is the an psychotic episode? Do you see radio waves? Is love something you can cut, shape, color and weigh?
