Ways to tell them apart:

etymology
  • Me is used when you are the object of a verb or preposition, meaning someone else affects you or an action is done towards you.
  • Myself is a reflexive or emphatic pronoun, used to stress that you are doing something yourself or when you are affected by your own action.
  • Remember, I do something. Something is done to me. I do something to myself.
  • Myself cannot replace me when you simply need the objective form of I.
  • Use myself to avoid repetition when you are both the subject and object of the action.
