lose your bearings
become unsure of your location
To become unsure about where you are or which direction you should go.
Hear it in real life
Do you know which way the hotel is?
Not exactly. I lost my bearings in these narrow streets.
I lost my bearings after leaving the underground station.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I lost my bearings to the station.
Say: I lost my bearings near the station.
Use a place phrase to say where you became disoriented; “to the station” suggests direction or destination.
