In my experience, as someone who hikes and is easily confused, there are three kinds of lost:
1. Off the path. in my case this is usually accidental. Scary.
2. On the path, but no idea where this path is going.
3. _Is_ this a path?
in my life right now I think I am the #3 kind of lost.
At Wild Basin right now, hiking, it's #2.

And then there's #4, "Paths are overrated"...
hahaha. well -- in hiking I have too much Ranger's Daughter! training to go off-trail on purpose -- it's burned into my soul as a littering-level misdeed (and littering is not thinkable). I do all go off hiking paths accidentally rather often, though, because I am a vague, wandery idiot.
But yeah I am trying to cultivate in my larger life a who-needs-paths approach. It is like the opposite of me, sadly, so it's slow going in hard ground.
