A personal is pronoun that is associated primarily with a
particular person, in the grammatical sense.
When discussing

Possessive

A possessive pronoun is a part of speech that attributes
ownership to someone or something. Like any other pronoun, it substitutes a
noun phrase and can prevent its repetition. For example, in the phrase, “ These
glasses are mine, not yours “, the words “ mine “ and “ your “ are possessive
pronouns and stand for “ my glasses “ and “ your glasses “, respectively.

Pronouns
A reflexive pronoun is a type of pronoun that is preceded by the

antecedent is located within the same cluse. In English grammar, a reflexive
pronoun indicates that the person who is realizing the action of the verb is
also the recipient of the action.
