Letting go of the self image can be very rewarding, but damn it's hard.
Most of us will only approach complete ego loss when deep in meditation or under the influence of a powerful chemical, it's not like you can go about your regular business while simply 'being'.
But just trying your best not to care too much about what others think of you, not obsessing over whether the image you project is good enough, smart enough, attractive or tall or thin enough, is so liberating.
Just take a look at the people who care only what others think of them. New car, maybe a nice boat or a big house in a good neighbourhood... It's a fate worse than death.
