Creeped out
含义: Feeling uncomfortable, unsettled, or disturbed by something or someone in a way that suggests danger or strangeness.
'Creeped out' is a specific type of discomfort — it's the feeling you get from something eerie, disturbing, or invasive. It's less about rational fear and more about that instinctive unease. Someone staring at you too long, an empty building, or an overly personal comment from a stranger can all 'creep you out.'
