I used to relates to a verb. Something you used to do – It more means, “I once did this”

I am used to relates to a noun. It means “I have previously had this” (or felt this … and yes a feeling is a noun)

I used to play football with the boys in the street

I am used to having a football in my room, but now I have all girlie things

i used to: describes an action you did regularly in the past.

for example: i used to eat ice cream every day, but it isn’t healthy so i stopped.

i am used to: describes you in the present, it relates to habits of yours.

for example: i’m human, i’m alive and i’m used to playing ball every other day.

“I used to” is a past tense statement, as in, “I used to play drums, but I stopped last year”. “I am used to” is a present statement, as in, “I don’t even hear the traffic outside my bedroom window, I’m used to it now”.

i used to…. is past tense…

I am used to makes no sense..

so you’d say…. I am use to… meaning you are familiar or comfortable with something, etc…

“I used to” – past actions. “I used to play football, but gave it up because of injury.”

“I am used to” – being accustomed to. “I am used to people giving my answers thumbs down.”

I hope that helps!
