Tell me more about you.
Tell me more about yourself.

Thanks,

Thanks, CJ -- I also often hear these two (at least in my part of the world.) What's your take on these?

Keep it with you.
Keep it with yourself.

I decided to keep the money with me.

We don't use the reflexive forms with certain verbs, e.g., 'keep', 'bring', 'take'.
