What is the difference between “I worry about you” and “I am worried about you”? Could native speakers please explain it for me? Thank you.

Unfortunately I'm not native speaker but I can tell you about this.
We use
ed
with adjectives to describe our feeling.
- I was worri
ed
. - She is shock
ed
. - You were annoy
ed
.
We use
ing
with adjectives to describe the reason of my feeling.(What/Who makes me to feel.)
- It was embarrass
ing
. - This class is bor
ing
. - She was frighten
ing
. (means she was that reason, she scared me.)
The differences between I'm worried abou you & I worry about you:
I'm worried: Subject
+to be verb
+adjective
.
I worry: subject
+verb
.
When you say: I'm worried about you means you're telling them about your feeling.
When you say: I worry about you means you're doing an action (here this action is worrying about someone.)

"borned" is not a good example to use. Also I think you mean "subject, not "sobject"– James KCommented Aug 5, 2023 at 23:10
