That weird emotional state where you feel unanchored, unsure, or just kinda... floating through life. Like, you're not drowning, but you're not exactly steering the ship either. You're just out there. In the vibes. On the emotional open sea.
That post-vacation, pre-back-to-work limbo? Boat feelings.
That 2 a.m. stare-at-the-ceiling moment? Boat feelings.
That “do I want to break up or just nap?” vibe? Boat. Feelings.
See also:
drifting • liminal space • soft existential crisis • main character in a coming-of-age indie film
Not to be confused with:
Sea sickness (though emotional nausea may apply)
