Hi

Myself, herself, himself are reflexive pronouns .They are used this way:

1- I was talking about myself when they came.
2- She cut herself.

In your example:

1- They were talking about me when I reached the station.

Talk about someone does not necessarily mean criticize someone.

I hope this helps
