Having been key to third-placed Wolfsburg's success this season, the central midfielder feels he deserved a place in Joachm Löw's squad.
"It took me a few days to process the fact that I wasn't called up. I was disappointed. But the resentment is gone," Arnold told Sport Bild and added:
"It's true that there are great players in my position. But I've played 244 Bundesliga games and experienced a lot. VfL are playing well, I'm playing well. It wouldn't have hurt anyone if I had been called up. I can't understand it.
"Maybe Wolfsburg aren't a good club for you to put yourself in a position for a national team call-up, although that shouldn't be a reason at all."
Arnold, 26, hasn't featured for Germany since making his senior international debut in a friendly against Poland in 2014.
He has made 29 appearances in a Wolfsburg shirt this season with three goals and five assists to his name.
