Joan Armatrading sang Me Myself I. Keeping Stock used the three words together tongue in cheek to explain his use of we and us.
Both used the pronouns in tandem for a good reason and to good effect.
But why are so many people using myself by itself when they mean I or me, as a bloke on the radio just did?
Please correct me if I’m wrong, a little knowledge can induce you to state something as a fact when it’s not; but isn’t myself a reflexive pronoun not a subject or object one?
If I’m right, it may be used in sentences such as I did it myself or I washed myself. It isn’t interchangable with I or me in sentences such as X, Y and myself dagged 1000 ewes . . . or those trees belong to myself.
You might say your good self jokingly instead of you, but I don’t think you’d say X, Y and yourself dagged 1000 ewes nor those trees belong to yourself.

Me myself and I agree with your point HP but myself is well aware of me vulnerability when expressing oneself oral and written, particularly when rushing or under stress.
When not ranting at inaccurate language or bias on radio or tv I have on occasions diverted to using my less than complete knowledge of grammer for personal entertainment. Sometimes counting umms and unows does it

From a work email – “Please don’t hesitate to contact myself if you have any questions.”
I think that people are assuming “me” is impolite, and yet “I” is obviously wrong, so they’re going for the third option.

I “should” or “would” agree/disagree about this post but “I”, “me” “myself” cannot makeup “my” “me” mind.
My late wife was a stickler for the written word- “should” and “would” in particular- and others. My point to her was that whatever was appropriate to recipient was acceptable. But “I”,”me” draw the line on “myself” —-because— please close this correspondence–, now confused, or, HP open another blog!- on this issue
Before I sign off, when should/would “one”,”me”,”I” -use an/a ! –?
