The sentence i am just only is this redundant?

Yes, the sentence "I am just only" is redundant.

* "Just" and "only" have very similar meanings in this context. They both emphasize that something is the sole or primary thing.

* Using both words together is unnecessary and makes the sentence sound awkward.

You can correct the sentence by choosing one of the words:

* "I am just..." (emphasizing the simplicity or limitation of the statement)

* "I am only..." (emphasizing exclusivity)

The specific choice depends on the intended meaning of the sentence.
