Reflexive means "turned back on one's self." In English, the pronouns ending in -self are reflexive; they direct the attention back to the subject as in "She was angry with herself," or "He debated the matter with himself." A reflexive reaction is one that is habitual with the individual, an unthinking response.

Reflexive refers to an action where the subject and object of the verb are the same. In other words, the action reflects back onto the subject. For example, "I hurt myself" is a reflexive action because the subject 'I' is both the doer and receiver of the action.
