Is yourself more polite than you?
'Yourself' sounds more formal, and is used frequently in everyday language (at least in my surroundings). However, I've been doing a little bit of investigation into the use of my vs myself and you vs yourself and it seems that it is only used reflexively to reflect back to 'you' or 'me' as the subject.
Is it correct to say yourself and I?
These are reflexive pronouns, which means that they reflect back on the subject. So use “yourself” when the subject is “you” and use “myself” when the subject is “I”. I'd like some coffee. And yourself? (Incorrect, but very common - it should be “And you?”)
Is saying myself grammatically correct?
You should use "myself" and not "me" as the object, only when you are the subject of the sentence. Example: I could not dress myself. Correct: You are asked to contact the provost or me. Incorrect: You are asked to contact the provost or myself.
Why do people say yourself instead of you?
'Yourself' is a reflexive pronoun that is used to refer back to the subject (i.e., the person being addressed). It is used in cases where the subject is performing an action on him/herself.
