( I want to visit someone) while they can just say ( I want to visit you) it just feels weird, so now I'm like why talk like that Reply to this Question

 That's the way often people talk to very young children ( "I am going to give Baby a big hug, because Baby is such a lovely child "--- stuff like that ) so I guess he thinks it's cute , and affectionate.

 How do you know someone is you? I think you are reading to much in to it. If someone is you then it is probably just playful and a bit of banter.

I really can't understand your post?
Are you saying that you know someone who says directly to you "Can I come and visit Susan?" rather than "Can I come and visit you?"
or "Would Susan like a drink?" instead of "Would you like a drink?"
It sounds like talking to a child. If this is a guy, he probably thinks he's sounds caring and cutesy (but it sounds really condescending to me.)
Or it sounds like the choice of words that someone would use to subtly communicate that they feel superior compared to the person they're talking to.
Or have I missed the point entirely?
