Minimal self = self being distinct from the environment,- when i touch sometinhg- i feel my hand on the table, but i don"t realize that the table is feeling me. Objectified self= have the cognitive ability to reflect on urself, nd recognize that ppl can judge yu in a different way than yu, start to develop belief systems. Symbolis self = we are aware of who we are, language is involved, i can tell yu a story abt my life; humans have complex language- so only humans can do this.
