Ways to tell them apart:
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.
