Is it right to say "I will see myself"

[goodstudent]

When I walk into a shop, the sales assistant asks "How can I help you."

Is it right to reply

1) "I will see myself"
2) "I am just looking"

What is the appropriate way to reply that I want do not need help (I mean I want to walk around the shop and see the things alone)

thanks, I'm ok. will call ya if I need.
It's not too rude, is it?)

I would use the OP's second option.

Thanks, I'm OK. Will call you if I need.

Unless you're in front of a mirror, you're not going to see yourself.

So I guess "I am just looking" is the best answer to avoid the sales assistant help/questions?

Yes.

Unless you're in front of a mirror, you're not going to see yourself.

Is it right if I add a "it", "I will see it myself"

 

[MikeNewYork]

No.

No. You're not "seeing", you're "looking" in this context.

Thanks, I'm fine. I'm just looking (around).
Thanks, I'm just browsing.
I'm fine thanks.
I'm just looking, thanks.
I'm OK, thanks. Just having a look around.

Is "I will look by myself" correct?

 

[Rover_KE]

No.

Unless you're in front of a mirror, you're not going to see yourself.

But, coincidentally (and irrelevantly, but...) the words 'I'll see myself' do appear in the idiom 'I'll see myself out" which means (as SD knows) 'I don't need to be accompanied to the door').

It is incorrect in this situation. It is a perfectly acceptable English sentence in the correct context.
