Reflexive Pronouns
Reflexive pronouns can also be used for emphasis, meaning "without help" or "in person". "I made this cake myself." (= nobody helped me) "The CEO himself attended the meeting." (= it was impressive that he came). When used for emphasis, the reflexive pronoun can be removed without changing the basic meaning of the sentence.
