About This Quote
The word "I" has many uses in English. We use the word 'I' to express our opinions, preferences or intentions. However, those words above, - "I miss you," "I want you," and so on, sound very intimate and personal. They suggest that the speaker feels close to the person who is at whom they are talking, and that she wants that person to understand her feelings.
On the other hand, we use the word "you" to express ourselves as a collective. For example, we say: "The government need your support." It sounds impersonal and distant. However, "I want you" suggests closeness and intimacy.
