Question about the use of "do"
Hi, I am watching a lot of english TV shows with english subtitle nowadays and i have a question about something I saw when i was reading the subtitle. Sometimes they say something like that for example:

I do realize that I hurt you

Why do they use "do"? I mean it's not necesary right? You just can say "I realize that i hurt you"

Thanks in advance!
