Dictionary of English - mysterious, mystic, or mystical
mysterious, mystic, or mystical
Myself is the first person singular reflexive pronoun: I cut myself shaving. Linked to a noun by and or another conjunction, it can be used as the subject of a sentence: My husband and myself are pleased to accept your invitation; and as an ordinary, non-reflexive object of a verb or preposition: This is a great honour for Trevor and myself.
This strikes many people as an excessively genteel usage (perhaps arising out of uncertainty over whether to use 'I' or 'me' in compound subjects). It is more straightforward to use 'I' as a subject: My husband and I are pleased to accept your invitation, and 'me' as an object: This is a great honour for Trevor and me.
