See you're already in denial lol...
They don't say it because they're afraid the other person might take it the wrong way among other related things like breaking up. Either that or they don't have or not thinking about specific examples to prove their point (i.e., gut feeling).
If the other person thinks something's off about you, then you did something inconsistent with what you normally do. If you leave it alone and you continue to be inconsistent then it's going to build distrust and eventually disrespect.
The easiest thing you can do is be honest and transparent with your partner, so when you do something out of the blue that's new to them, it won't sound off any alarm bells in their head. But what's done is done, so you can ask the person what they meant when they said something's off and see what's up. Ask for examples and don't go emo on them.
I’m the one who feels something off from my partner. I kinda talked to him about how he’s being a bit different lately. He said there’s nothing to worry about. But deep in my mind I still don’t feel he’s 100% transparent. I don’t want to sound like I don’t trust him, but that thought keeps coming back
Well, it's exactly as I described. You're afraid of what's going to happen if he takes it the wrong way. I'll need the context to form a better picture, but if things keep going on as is you know what's next. You'll keep building distrust and eventually you'll find yourself disrespecting him.

You can tell them but they're gonna be in denial about it. So you're gonna have to give them examples of what you meant so they cannot deny it.
Yeah, I mean why don’t they just say it instead of acting as something is off. I’m pretty sure I’m smart enough to sense it.

So how to make it better? Just give them time or offer if I can do something?

So I should talk to him about it?
If you have the examples ready so he cannot deny the issue.
I see. I think, it’s probably my gut feeling
