We use "by" + the reflexive pronoun to indicate "solo".
Examples:
Often I prefer to be by myself. (I often prefer to be alone.)
She Learned to read all by herself. (She learned to read by itself.)
4. The use of the reflexive pronoun with some verbs can change the meaning.
Examples:
Help yourself to some coffee. (Help yourself to coffee yourself.)
We found ourselves in the middle of a very complicated situation. (We are in the midst of a very difficult situation.)
5. Do not use reflexive pronouns for actions that people usually do by itself.
Example:
I have to shave every other day. (I have to shave every two days.)
I have to shave every other day myself.
