Myself/ itself/ herself/ himself

Hi;

I myself am a very weird person.
I'm very weird person myself.
Which one is correct?

What do words like the ones in the title emphasize in sentences like those ones?

Thanks.

A: How are you?
B: Great.(Is it OK to answer that question with 'great'?) Yourself?

Does 'yourself' mean 'You' in this case? And is it OK to ask a question with 'you'? As in: I'm great. You?

Yes. Strictly speaking, reflexive pronouns should not replace personal pronouns (you). Yes, I would say you.

So, since I can ask a question with 'you', can I answer one with 'great' etc?
