How do you use myself in a sentence?

You can only use myself in a sentence that also includes the singular, first-person pronoun “I.”

“Myself” is an intensive pronoun or a reflexive pronoun. It’s also a singular, first-person pronoun.

As a first-person intensive pronoun, “myself” emphasizes “I” when it’s part of the same sentence (e.g., “I myself believe that everyone deserves to be happy”).

As a reflexive pronoun, “myself” can be a direct object, indirect object, or object of a preposition when the subject of the same sentence is “I” (e.g., “I was thirsty, so I poured myself some lemonade”).
