What does it mean when someone says “I can’t really explain how I feel?”?

Well, without context, it just sounds like they are having a hard time putting their feelings into words? Maybe they feel they might mess up, by not exactly saying what they mean. Tends to happen to a lot of people.

Is there any reason that it wouldn't just mean exactly what they said? When I hear a statement like that, I'm usually thinking of someone who hasn't given the issue much thought, or they simply don't have the self awareness to do the analysis.

They struggle to form the adequate sentences to express their feelings?
May be they should try poetry?

It means they're struggling, internally, to understand how they feel, and are not able to explain those feelings.

It means that you are going through something (often sadness, jealousy, or anxiety) but cannot quite realize what you are feeling. This is partly psychological as you do not wanted to state you are feeling one of those things.

It could be they have strong feelings for you that it's hard to explain how hard they feel?

Their thesaurus is broken and they’ve run out of adjectives…?
