困っている usage / different meanings depending on context?


> 私は困っている。

I've seen the sentence translated as "I am in trouble", however depending on
the context is it possible that it also could mean "I am troubled" or "I am
worried"?




困る / 困っている / 困った can be translated in many ways:

I am in trouble / difficulty; I am having a hard time; I am (being) troubled /
stuck / annoyed / bothered / distressed / embarrassed / perplexed / at a loss
/ in need / in inconvenience, etc...

So yes, I think it is possible that it also could mean "I am troubled" "I am
worried", depending on the context, although we more commonly say
(～が)[心配]{しんぱい}だ / (～を)心配している to mean "I am worried / anxious / concerned
(about...)"
