What is confusing me is...
In the previous thread, I wanted to use the word puzzle, but having looked it up in the dictionary, I changed my mind and used confused instead. I did this because the dictionary definition included some feeling of worry which I surely don't have in this situation.
But is it possible to use puzzle interchangeably with confuse in such a context?
e.g.
What's puzzling me is...
What is confusing me is...
What I'm puzzled by is...
What I'm confused by is...
Are they natural?
