I just wasn't so sure vs I wasn't just so sure

Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. 'I just wasn't so sure' implies that the speaker was not very certain about something, while 'I wasn't just so sure' suggests that the speaker was not only uncertain but also had other feelings or thoughts. The placement of 'just' in the sentence changes the emphasis and meaning.
