I think "such as you" also mean the same as "such as yourself," but how does the nuance change if I say "such as you"?

Although "yourself" is sometimes used the way it is here, "yourself" in this context is not grammatically correct. For "yourself" to be grammatically correct, it needs to reflect the pronoun "you". This rule also applies to herself, himself, etc. The be correct, "such as you" should be used here. Here are examples of how to correctly use "yourself" and "herself/himself": Ex: You should buy yourself a new purse. ("Yourself" reflects the subject "you") Ex: She saw herself in the reflection. ("Herself" reflects the subject "she") Ex: He made the meal himself. ("Himself" reflects the subject "he")
