Ultimately the meaning of each depends on the tone and context of the phrase. I mean it is to put emphasis that one is being serious about what is being said. “I mean it. Clean your room”. When I’m telling you is almost more of a statement or an emphasis on the disbelief of the phrase. “I’m telling you he actually asked me out!” (Disbelief) “I’m telling you to clean your room” (emphasis on authority)
