- QUOTE: The reflexive pronouns need a subject to refer back to, and that subject must be expressly mentioned, not just implied. Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a clause are the same, whether the object is direct (I hate myself), indirect (Honey, I bought myself a motorcycle!) or the object of the preposition (I really learned a lot about myself on that cycling tour, namely that I hate cycling). It can't be used for an unnamed referent, even if the target of the reference is clear: Nobody will know about this but myself is wrong because myself isn't the same person as nobody.
