You seem distant and You seem to be distant.What's the difference between these two sentences?Are both of these correct?

Answer 1

Both sentences are "correct" from an English language perspective. "You seem distant" is more concise, though, which is generally preferred in writing. "You seem to be distant" is wordier, and adds additional passivity to the sentence (which good writers generally try to avoid).

Answer 2

There's no real difference between the two sentences. Although the second sentence has the verb "to be," the first sentence conveys the exact same meaning. The verb "to be" is actually unnecessary.
