What is the difference between [person] and I, and me and [person]?

I have struggled with this quite a bit, even as someone pretty advanced in English. It’s been explained to me many times, but nothing is making sense.

A lot of people are giving tips they learned as a native speaker. These aren’t going to be as useful to you, assuming you aren’t a native since you used the term advanced.
The correct answer is that I is the nominative form of the first person singular pronoun and me is the accusative form of the first person singular pronoun. English only uses the accusative case for a few pronouns(off the top of my head they are me, her, him, us, whom, them), but if you speak any number of languages, such as Russian, then you will already understand the accusative case well. Nominative is the subject, and accusative is the direct object.
