Difference between 'хотеть' and 'хотеться'.
I know that in general they both mean to want, but I don't quite understand how you know when to choose one over the other. For example, is there any difference between:
я хочу смотреть телевизор and Мне хочется смотреть телевизор ?

"Хотеть" is a verb directed at something.
"Хотеться" is a reflexive verb and it goes by itself or directed at self.
For example: "я хочу есть"/ "I DO want to eat", it's my active desire.
"Мне хочется есть" / "I have a strong desire to eat". So, it's not my active doing, it's just what I'm thinking about right now.

хотеть = you want something consciously
хотеться = something is wanted by itself, even if your mind is against it
