You or yourself
Use pronouns ending in "self" only when the pronoun refers to the subject:
He brings shame on himself.
-- "He" is the subject; "himself" refers to "he."
His deeds bring shame on him.
-- "Deeds" is the subject.
His generosity speaks for itself.
-- "Generosity" is the subject; "itself" refers to "generosity."
Don't use the "self" form of pronouns after a comparison.
A good worker like yourself is an inspiration to all employees.
A good worker like you is an inspiration to all employees.
