No hables de mí. Don't talk about me. (The subject is you (2nd person), the object is me (1st person).)
Quiero hablar de mí mismo. I want to talk about myself. (The subject and object are both in the 1st person.)

Why don't you write in Spanish from time to time? You are always helping us all, and I get the feeling maybe you don't get enough in exchange.Can I be bossy or what?
