Reflexive pronouns all end in -self or -selves. They refer back to the subject of the sentence which is why they are called reflexive.
There are six other types of pronouns: Personal pronouns (I, He, She, They, You, Me, Him, Her, We, etc), Possessive pronouns (his, hers, theirs, its, yours, ours, mine), Reciprocal pronouns (each other, one another), Demonstrative (this, that, these, those, etc.), Relative (which, whose, who, whom, etc.), Interrogative (Who, What, Why, When, Where), and Indefinite (something, anything, anybody, nothing, somewhere).
