No, you do not enter your Social Security number on Form 1099-NEC as the payer. The payer information is for the company or entity who paid you for your services as a self-employed person. You are the recipient of Form 1099-NEC, not the payer.
You should only be entering Form 1099-NEC if you actually received the form showing your self-employed earnings from a company who paid you. If you did not receive Form 1099-NEC, then enter your self-employment income as 'cash' income on your Schedule C for your self-employed business.
