the relational self is a perspective by which persons abandon all sense of exclusive self, and view all sense of identity in terms of social engagement with others

So in this perspective a person does not exist independent of others as a unit but only in terms of events involving others. Just as, say, a fictional character doesn't exist if there are no books etc. in which they appear.
