just think of a gumball that has the liquid candy inside lol or a chocolate truflle like ferrero rocher

I'm not sure I understand your confusion. On Earth, the regions covered by oceans have a similar condition, i.e. gaseous atmosphere with a liquid interior (the liquid here is water and there is a solid surface beneath the liquid, but those are minor differences within the context of your question). I would guess that parts of Jupiter look a lot like the Atlantic during a hurricane.

We just don't call the top of its liquid a surface because we can't see it. That like saying if the Earth were always completely covered with clouds, it would have no liquid surface. Considering the weather on Jupiter, I doubt we'll ever be able to investigate the gas-liquid boundary. I imagine it is pretty turbulent, with waves many kilometers high and white caps the size of our continents.

because the atmosphere and the interior are made of the same things. the pressure just increases until the gas turns to liquid, there isn't really any barrier in between them. and if you were falling into the planet you would not even notice the difference (if you survived that long)

Jupiter was almost big enough to become a star, it's gravitational force is huge and the temperature at it's core is probably high enough to prevent the gas from forming a liquid.

When you put a gas under high pressure it turns to a liquid, in other words, the closer to the center of Jupiter you get the higher the pressure goes, but the higher you go in the atmosphere, the less pressure you have.
Take dry ice, it is made of Carbon Dixiod, but when you put it under high pressure it terns to a solid, called dry ice.

easy, the pressure that is present deep inside the planet force the gases to form liquids

I don't think anyone really knows what's inside ...some have said there's Pure Carbon there .... that folks is one huge diamond

Pressure from gravity.
