Dear Tyger,

It sounds a lot like what is conveyed by the phrase, "As I see
it."

All of these sound like God is speaking.
Besides, the distinctions are unclear.

Taking full responsibility for one's life does not necessarily
improve communication. Cf. Sartre's Other.

Other phrases which already accomplish much of what you want are,
"myself, (as) for me, IMO." In French, "pour moi," which echoes
Sartre's "pour soi."
Best,
Bill
