it's confusing vs it's confusing to me

Both phrases are correct, but are used in slightly different contexts. 'It's confusing' is a general statement indicating that something's confusing in a broad sense, while 'It's confusing to me' specifies the confusion is personal to the speaker. The choice between the two phrases depends on if you want to emphasize the general confusion or your personal experience of it.
