Look, Rachel, I wanted to tell you, I thought I should, I did, and then Chandler and Joey convinced me not to.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker tells Rachel they meant to confess something and even felt they should, but says two friends, Chandler and Joey, talked them out of it. The halting, self-justifying phrasing shows an attempt to share blame while explaining why the truth stayed unspoken.
