Reflexive Verbs
In English, we really don’t identify with reflexive verbs. So these will seem strange to you.
Reflexive Verbs
In English, a sentence using a “so called” reflexive verb might be…

You must remember that these are actions being done to oneself, by oneself. For example:
I wash my (my own) hair.
