Kalanguy

Kalanguy is a Filipino word, primarily used in the Cebuano language, that signifies a state of being lost, disoriented, or confused, often due to unfamiliar surroundings or a bewildering situation. It can also refer to a feeling of mental fogginess or a lack of clarity in thought. The intensity of the feeling can range from a mild sense of disorientation to a more profound feeling of being utterly lost and bewildered. While often associated with physical locations, it can also describe a mental or emotional state of feeling lost or adrift. The nuances of kalanguy differentiate it from simple "lostness" by emphasizing the associated confusion and disorientation.
