  Anyway the Higgs field has nothing to do with all of that. It is just something that gives particles mass,

So since the Higgs boson gives particle mass, who or what gives the mass to the Higgs boson?

It doesn't give particles mass. It's existence is associated with the Higgs field that does. That field gives the Higgs boson mass as well.

A particle that creates a field that creates a particle..

(The theory is way more complex to solve this riddle. I did understand about the first three minutes in a discussion with theoretical physicists and "normal" physicists of which I am one).
