Well it isn't quite true to say that nobody thinks of themselves as "a mass" - it's more that mass-ness is a device people use or discard as necessary to bolster an individual standpoint. But I don't think "mass" is part of many people's core identity, in the way that their gender or ethnicity or job or even hobbies might be.
