Explanation
Personally means from your own point of view or based on your own feelings and opinions. It shows that what you are saying reflects your individual experience, not everyone’s. People use “personally” to share thoughts honestly or to emphasise that something matters to them. It can also mean doing something yourself instead of asking someone else to do it.
