Bewilderness 

An emotional space in which you become hopelessly tangled, unable to see the trees, blind to the forest, wandering in circles, lost.

How had the relationship gone wrong? Could she have just trashed him? No, she must have meant... something else... because... words are only words, he can't be all of those things she called him... or any of them. After so many good times... and why was it getting dark so fast? He'd find his way out of the Bewilderness, in a day or a year. Maybe.

bewilderness 

How a clueless city-slicker views any non-urban locale.

First-time camper: I got my country-cousin buddy to show me around da rural area where I was gonna be setting up my tent, so dat it would not be so much of a bewilderness to me.

bewilderbeast 

A person who is in the habit of derailing a conversation (usu. somebody else's) by throwing in an unrelated comment, which at first seems like it may bear some relation to the conversation at hand. Thereby making themselves look stupid, and confusing the living hec*k out of everyone else.

so, Tamsin and I were discussing buying season tickets to the Mets, When Shannon jumped in with a comment about how great their retrospective of Goya is...what a bewilderbeast!

the opposite of wilderness

Cross-country routes in cities have runners use the sidewalks on roads through buildings and neighborhoods in the builderness. In more rural areas, routes are through the wilderness.
