Mexicans often use 'No estoy muy seguro' to be extra polite and avoid sounding like they are rejecting an idea. Argentines might use 'No estoy tan seguro' to express skepticism about a claim. In Colombia, the phrase is often used with a soft tone to maintain the 'amabilidad' (kindness) of the conversation.
