What feeling confused is like
Confusion is when your thoughts won't line up and you can't work out what's happening or what you feel. It's common after mixed messages, sudden change or too much information at once.
Confused or conflicted?
Confused is not being able to make sense of things. Conflicted is knowing exactly what you feel, and feeling two opposite things at once. Read more about feeling conflicted.
