Here's why:
* Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of the sentence. They are used when the subject and object of the verb are the same person or thing.
* Examples:
* She hurt herself. (The subject "she" is the same person as the object "herself")
* The cat washed itself. (The subject "cat" is the same as the object "itself")
