You can think of myself as a little mirror placed on the word 'I': it points the action right back at the same person who started it. I hurt myself — the and the one hurt are one and the same. Every other use is a tilt of that mirror: turned up to stress 'me and nobody else', or turned to mark the edge of a circle that holds only me — alone, , or with something all to me.

可以想成:myself 像是擺在「I」前面的一面小鏡子,把動作直接反射回出發的那個人身上。I hurt myself(我弄傷了自己)——動作的人和被弄傷的人是同一個。其他用法都是這面鏡子的微調:往上一翻,強調「就是我、沒別人」;往旁邊一轉,畫出一個只圈住我的圈——獨自一人、沒人幫、或某樣東西全歸我。
