A reflective verb means that the object is the same as the subject.

A reflexive verb means when the subject and object are the same, where the action reflects back on the subject. Words as myself, yourself and herself are mostly used to describe a reflective verb. For example: I washed myself. He shaved himself. She saw herself.

Hope this helps
