In English, the word 'myself' is the first-person reflexive pronoun. A reflexive pronoun is used when you the agent (the doer/subject) of an action is the same as the recipient (the receiver/object) of the action. Compare:

  • I accidentally hit him in the head.
  • I accidentally hit myself in the head.

The following is ungrammatical:

  • X I accidentally hit me in the head.

Other reflexive pronouns are: yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, themselves, and yourselves.
