"I am not the one they think I am.'

"I am not the one they think I am.'

The they think was inserted between the one and I am? And there is no meaning difference although it is omitted?

Like the examples below,

1) I remember the boy that I think was tall and handsome.

2) He is the boy I think they take care of.

Or the they think in the example is kind of different from the I thinks in the numbers? What do you think?

Thank you.

Thank you so much as usual and then if the I think in the each number is omitted, the sentences are nonsense like the first example?

No, I indicated that that was the result only in your first sentence.

1) I remember the boy that was tall and handsome.
2) He is the boy they take care of.

Here, merely the uncertainty is eliminated.
