This very common spoken phrase is used when you are explaining your reaction to something, for instance, when you are making a complaint, suggestion, or excuse, so that the person you are talking to will not get annoyed with you.
E.g.
-I'm sorry I struck you. I didn't mean to. It's just that I was so mad.
-Your hair is all right; it's just that you need a haircut.
-I do believe you. It’s just that I’m a bit surprised.
