In mathematics, a binary relation R over a set X is reflexive if every element of X is related to itself. Formally, this may be written ∀x ∈ X : x R x. An example of a reflexive relation is the relation "is equal to" on the set of real numbers, since every real number is equal to itself.

is reflexive iff, everything bears R to itself. For example, being the same height as is a reflexive relation: everything is the same height as itself.
A relation R is irreflexive iff, nothing bears R to itself. For example, being taller than is an irreflexive relation: nothing is taller than itself.
A relation R is non-reflexive iff it is neither reflexive nor irreflexive. For example, loves is a non-reflexive relation: there is no logical reason to infer that somebody loves herself or does not love herself.
