Do blind people develop a different sort of self, as a result of never having a self image to weld it to....?

ie: everyone else through childhood use of mirrors forms a fabricated imagined self which he thinks of as himself, and which he umes rests on the top of his neck. but that is only an 3rd party bystanders view of what he looks like. i was wondering what a blind persons experience of self was like...having not gone through the process of forming a fabricated self, that is the result of memorising your image in a mirror to use as the reference point for your internal self image.
