Should it be "as me" or "as myself" in the following?

Question

I'm sure I'll meet you again as me/as myself, not as a client.

(Meaning that their relationship was businesslike, and the speaker wants their relationship to be more personal the next time they meet.)

Should it be as me or as myself here? Why or why not?

There's a very good explanation of some general guidelines for using reflexive pronouns in an answer to "It's difficult organising me" or "It's difficult organising myself" that might be helpful, although I don't think it directly answers your question. — ColleenV, Mar 24, 2022 at 18:32

I'm sure I'll meet you again as myself, not as a client would be the best choice here (IMO), but I believe it is better to say:

Hopefully next time I meet you, it shall be more casual...
