    I'm kicking myself for eating that overripe fruit - reflexive pronoun

    He himself asked me to send him an invitation - intensive pronoun

    She busied herself with signing the documents - reflexive pronoun

    I myself was surprised to see him back so early - intensive pronoun

    Explanation:

    While intensive and reflexive pronouns both include myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves, these two types of pronouns are used in different situations.

    Intensive pronouns are pronouns which add emphasis to a certain statement. As in second sentence given above - "He himself asked me ... " We already have the subject of the sentence, but the pronoun 'himself' places emphasis on it. Reflexive pronouns are used when the object and the subject of the sentence are the same. For instance, '"She busied herself with signing the documents."
