As I see it the Higgs boson is the mediating particle of the Higgs field and get its own mass from the Higgs field. Isn´t this circular? I mean, for instance, an electron creates a radial electric field but in no way it can interact with the field it created. So my question is: how can a particle get its mass from the field it mediates?
