What People Mean When They Say Myself
At its core, this is just the first-person reflexive pronoun, but online people sometimes turn it into a bit. They use it to sound overly self-important, like they are hyping themselves up in an exaggerated way.
That exaggerated read is the whole point. Saying it this way can make a post feel sarcastic, dramatic, or mock-elite, especially when someone is clearly joking about their own achievements or ego.
How People Actually Use Myself
You will most often see it in group chats, captions, or comments where someone is joking about themselves in a way that feels a little too proud on purpose. It works best when the speaker is clearly in on the joke.
It can also show up as a fake-flex move, like someone pretending to be overly important for comedic effect. If the room is already teasing, it lands like a self-own.
If the room is serious, it can sound weirdly performative.
Examples You'd Actually See

When It Sounds Right vs Forced

Where Myself Stands Now
This is still understandable, but it is not a hot new slang item. Most of the time it shows up as a joke, a typo-flavored bit, or a deliberately extra way of sounding self-absorbed.
Use it when you want the self-importance to feel playful, not formal.
Related slang around this usage includes a-kevin and a-list.
