I wanted to say hello vs I just wanted to say hello

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. "I wanted to say hello" implies a simple desire to greet someone. "I just wanted to say hello" emphasizes the immediacy or sincerity of the greeting. The addition of "just" in the second phrase adds a sense of urgency or emphasis to the act of saying hello.
