SO what about someone who, say, went back in time, and were shot by their past self?

That is not a paradox. That life is still linear from beginning to end. A paradox takes place if you travel back in time and shoot your past self.
THEN the skies turn red and things go straight to Hezz.

What if you go back and take your past self out of the timestream altogether?
Or, what if your PAST self is drasticly CHANGED into your present self..yet, escapes before doing so, so that you both still exist?

It depends on how important you are to the timestream. The universe is self-correcting of most chronal discrpencies.
There are two actively used theories of time travel, linear and hypertime. Linear states that no matter what you do, no matter where you travel, history is fixed, and anything that you do was SUPPOSED to happen anyways. You can't defy time. You can't go back and prevent Lincoln's assassination.
The Hypertime theory states that every single individual moment in time and every choice made branches off in an infinite number of possible outcomes, each one it's own valid and stable timeline, extending forwards and backwards into infinity.

So, even though we're both living in the present time, we're not creating any sort of paradox by doing so?

We are not from the same timestream.
And paradoxes don't work the same here. Which is WHY-

THIS is so frustrating.
