There is only one true Self, donning various masks and masquerading as many individual, seemingly different selves. Creator is Self. The term "other-self" is used to denote this, that the beings separate from you are merely various 'yous'. One must not view their actual Self as being defined by the temporary visage one is bound to here. It is the awareness of the same being behind all beings. Keeping this in mind allows clearer comprehension when considering that Self and other-Self is the same Self.
Your responsibility to your self is to ensure its continued functioning and maintenance, keeping it physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually healthy. Your responsibility to other-selves is determined by how you are most comfortable interacting with other-selves. If you feel that taking others into consideration, being kind, compassionate, etc. are how you'd best wish to express yourself to others than you are responsible for reflecting this in your actions. If one feels aversion towards others and prefer self-aggrandizement then that individual holds no obligation towards others and the only level of interaction would be that of benefiting at the expense of others.
