We or ourselves?

Could you help me choose between “us” and “ourselves” Strangely, I’ve found both hits on line, so I wonder whether they are both correct or either one of them is acceptable.

A) Friends tell us more about what we don’t know about us/ourselves than our family members do.

B) Friends help us find out new things about us/ourselves.
