Those are the reflexive pronouns that 'reflect' back to the antecedent.

The reflexive pronouns are: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.

Example: Dad made himself some breakfast.

The reflexive pronouns also function as intensive pronouns when placed right after the antecedent. The intensive use is to emphasize the antecedent.

Example: Dad himself made some breakfast.
