I'm the one who is/am confused.

I remember it should be 'am', but would like some native speaker to confirm.

Thanks.

I am the one who is confused.

The is goes with who, not I. Think of it this way: Who is confused? I am.

@Roberta,

Thanks, Roberta.

I wrote the wrong sentence. It should be "It is I who am/is confused." In this case, it should be 'am', I assume.

Thanks.

@tanguatlay,

Technically, "It is I who am confused", but people have also been saying "It is me who is confused" since at least the 16th century.
