contents This position paper introduces Self++, a novel nine-level framework for co-determined living in the Metaverse, grounded in Self-Determination Theory. Self++ prioritises human flourishing by progressively cultivating competence, autonomy, and relatedness through dynamic human-AI collaboration in extended reality (XR). Unlike technologically deterministic approaches, Self++ emphasises user empowerment by enhancing competency, mitigating cognitive biases and leveraging XR's immersive capabilities. Key research directions proposed include exploring the boundaries of user-defined AI autonomy, designing for meaningful social connection in XR, and establishing proactive ethical safeguards. Ultimately, Self++ offers a roadmap for creating a human-centred, AI-enhanced Metaverse where technology amplifies, rather than diminishes, human potential.
