Why do people insist on using "myself" incorrectly on a daily basis?

I would say it is because people are no longer required to diagram sentences in school.

Maybe you are being a little over sensitive and some people are just mean. As for grammar skills pay attention and you will learn them and you are right not everyone knows everything that is for sure though they certainly like to believe that they do.\n Keep your question short and to the point and check your spelling it won't hurt you. If you are unsure if the word is spelled wrong then put a (sp?) after it. YOU know someone will correct it for you. Good Luck and don't let the pettiness get you down

People disagree because they have their own personalities.

People are afraid to lose things that they feel they need. The feeling of ownership comes with a dependancy on a person to define you as who you are. I believe that if you were truely secure with yourself you would not need someone else to do that. In so resulting in a comfort with a lovers' individuality.

Some people are really being honest and then some are just looking for an identity and trying to find it through you.\nLost people need direction and don't know how to get it unless they are using someone else.\nIf it really bothers you , simply ask them, "are you sure this is what you want or are you just doing it because I am?", they usually get the hint after a while.

Because you don't believe in yourself.\nIf you do, nothing and nobody could disappoint you.\nYou will always be more stronger after a deception, if you do believe in yourself.

It's just an idiosynchracy of the culture.  However, it probably also has something to do with the fact that the question 'How are YOU?" quickly forms a bond with the other person (although superficial) in that you are expressing concern for them, instead of the more self-centred "Hi, MY name is..."  (this might also be why the phrase "Hell, I don't believe WE'VE met..." is also preferred as it creates a fast bond)

I despise and hold in contempt the concept of a "hyphen-American". I've never thought of myself as anything but "American", and never will. It's just wrong!

If you're the kind of person who keeps correcting yourself, and appreciates it when someone corrects you, you should probably correct others. 'Course, there's a way of doing it - constructive criticism, not destructive. The point is to improve yourself and others.

We should all keep our own strenghts, thats what makes us individuals. Look at it this way: if you had a very attractive friend you would't ask to borrow her face for a day, so why would she ask to borrow your brain?

Yes, strictly speaking it should be "I do" or just "I", but it just sounds so pretentious. It's not the way we speak in everyday converstaion.

Perhaps they think of themselves in the same way as you think of yourself?\n\nDo those who really do have something going on for themselves also approach you?

I try too, but sometimes it is hard to do. Especially if someone is an "I told you so!" kind of person. \n\n@--->---

Most of the time. I fail to do so sometimes, as it is only natural.

suck it up. If you spelled things wrong on purpose then you have to be prepared for people to assume that you can't spell properly. No need to be offended, just let it slide and move on.

I can't believe all these people saying "Mark and I"  !!!  "Mark and me" is correct!\n\nSimply take "Mark" out of the sentence and see if it sounds right.\n\n"Could you please copy I on these communications?"  It doesn't work!\n\nAnd the first one is correct.  The second sentence uses the reflexive pronoun "myself," which doesn't make any sense.  Could you please copy myself on these communications?  You would not ask somebody to do it, if you were going to do it yourself.
