Feelings live in "me": mujhe, tumhein, use
Fear, boredom, joy and worry are not "felt" here — they come to someone. The someone is named by "to me", and it opens the line: mujhe khauf hai — literally "to me fear is". The pronouns I and he are not heard in such phrases at all. For example: “مجھے خوف ہے” — I am afraid. A rule from the Urdu course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
Fear, boredom, joy and worry are not "felt" here — they come to someone. The someone is named by "to me", and it opens the line: mujhe khauf hai — literally "to me fear is". The pronouns I and he are not heard in such phrases at all.
"To me" has short forms. Mujhe — to me. Tumhein — to you. Use — to him and her alike. Hamein — to us. Aap ko — to you-polite. Gender is not heard here: use covers the brother and the sister alike.
The same frame lives in the desires you know: mujhe chaahiye — "to me it is needed". Feeling, desire and need are one family, and all three arrive to "me", not with "I".

How the rule settles in your head
A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
