When to use the word myself as opposed to the word me in a sentence?

"Myself," like "himself" or "herself," is a reflexive pronoun. It can be used in one of two ways:
# When the doer of the action is the same as the receiver. For example: "He screwed himself over by procrastinating." "I cut myself because I was mentally ill." In these cases, the person doing the action ("screwing," "cutting") is the same as the person receiving the action (being screwed, being cut). In cases like this, it is INCORRECT to use ordinary objective pronouns - "He screwed him" is wrong, and most people will recognize that instinctively.
# For emphasis. Little kids use this construction to show how proud they are that they have learned to do something: "I tied my shoes myself!" It is used to emphasize that I did it, and not someone else. In that example, the pronoun is placed at the end of the sentence. But the schmancier way to use this is by putting the reflexive pronoun right after the noun. "He himself had discovered the secret passage a year ago, before she did." "Himself" is used to emphasize that HE was the one who discovered it, HIMSELF.

∙ 14y agoBoth "me" and "myself" are found to be objects of sentences. When the subject of the sentence is "I" the object would be "myself." When the subject is any other person, place or thing, the object would be "me."

∙ 8y agoThe pronoun 'myself' is a reflexive pronoun, a pronoun that 'reflects back' to its antecedent.
The reflexive pronouns are: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.
The reflexive pronouns also function as intensive pronouns, used to emphasize its antecedent.
Examples:
I made myself a dress for the party. (reflexive)
I myself made my dress for the party. (intensive)

Myself is used as reflexive and emphatic pronoun.
E.g: I completed the task myself. (Emphatic)
I looked myself in the mirror. (Reflexive)
