Repeat after me:

You talk to me.
I talk to you.
I talk to myself.
You talk to yourself.

You do not talk to myself, and I do not talk to yourself.

This error seems to be contagious in my office.

It seems to be a couple of people that started using it (interestingly 
who sit next to each other), and then a few more started saying it. 
Because I noticed it and thought about it, I now notice every single 
time someone does it. We even had this in an official company 
announcement from a senior manager:

"Reporting to myself, Joe Bloggs will take on overall responsibility for 
YYY."

Reporting to yourself must be nice.

I once had an English teacher who insisted that saying that you "found 
yourself" was nonsense, because how do you "lose yourself"?

But found/lose your self is different, I would say.

Different but similar - this thread just triggered that memory. :)
