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.
