Use I, not i!
Use capitals.
I'm worried: Something/somebody else has scared me.
I worry: I exercise by myself the action of worrying.

Good examples, Goodman.
But, "I worried you" is also OK. Structurally it's no different from "you worried me", and would be pretty common preceded by a word such as "Sorry" (as you mentioned):
"Sorry (that) I worried you."
Here is a non-apology:
"I worried you, didn't I?"
.

Hi Amy,
Thanks for the thumb-up. I realized that. The phrase "I worried you" by itself just does not sound right. That's all...
