We are just taught "don't attach to anything", including the notion of a fixed self. That doesn't mean that there is no self or that there is a self. I am not sure when this idea was presented or who taught it (other than the teachers I have direct contact with). I have found it useful, though

As a former Vajrayana practitioner I was eventually taught to just relax and let go - which is a similar principle for my Theravada practice..... and of course that includes not getting too serious or intimidated about what others have to say in internet discussions !
