Confusion is common among people—it’s a psychological state of mind in which we lack clarity, understanding, or certainty about something. This feeling can be caused by coming across contradictory or complex information, facing ambiguous situations, or struggling to process too many things at once. Why did we bring this up, you ask? Well, this is what you’re definitely going to feel when scrolling through these ‘cursed' images, courtesy of the ‘images2009’ Instagram account. They give off so much chaotic energy, your brain won’t know how to react!

No need of such t-shirt when your manspreading clearly shows you're an ässhole who indeed doesn't care.
While we probably encounter confusion every day, we might not realize just how much it encompasses and what happens in our brains when we experience it. So, to explore it a little bit more, we’ll start from the beginning.
Confusion, as an emotion, belongs to the knowledge emotion family. It’s a profoundly important family of emotions that is associated with learning, exploring, and reflecting. Along with confusion, other emotions belong to this family, like surprise, interest, and awe.

They’re called knowledge emotions because they are caused by knowledge and they foster knowledge. These emotions happen when people learn something unexpected that violates the information they believed to be true. The moment we learn something new, over time, it builds our knowledge about the world around us. Therefore, knowledge emotions are caused by knowledge, and as a result, they foster knowledge.

As a whole group, confusion, along with the rest of the knowledge emotions, motivates people to engage with new and puzzling things instead of avoiding them. Unlike emotions such as fear, anger, or happiness, knowledge emotions don’t gear up the physical body but rather engage the mind, which is very important for humans who are constantly learning.

Confusion on its own happens when we’re faced with something that is both unfamiliar and hard to understand at the same time. Its purpose is to promote thinking and learning. This might not come as obvious to us, as we tend to avoid confusion when we’re learning something new. We enjoy understanding the new information that is presented to us, and a prolonged state of confusion can escalate to frustration or boredom.

It's similar to what they used to break the cycling speed record. It creates a wind shadow, so the one cycling behind it doesn't get as much wind resistance/drag. That's why some cyclist go behind big trucks. It's easier to pedal, and the wind shadow "pulls" them somewhat.

However, confusion can be productive when it comes to learning. The key is to recognize it and not allow it to persist for too long. So when a person is challenged with new concepts or ideas, instead of growing frustrated or bored, they should get comfortable with the feeling and seek to resolve it. Feeling confused can indeed be difficult, especially in a society that has attached a negative stigma to it. Thinking through problems and persevering can yield very positive results.

Because I got negative-voted for suggesting it was AI, I checked it out: apparently it is at the very least a photoshopped image, combining an image of such a soda-cross display at a grocery store ("Roy's" or "Piggly Wiggly," the two names not necessarily being a contradiction) and a little girl. Multiple people, however, (or at least on multiple social media sites, using different text) have claimed that that's their daughter who's simple faith got them back to Christ. Various versions amplified the theme, suggesting that at least one was satirical or false-flag. I don't know what's going on with the fonts, but one hint that it was AI did not pan out: Apparently "MR Pibb" does drop the "Mr." on "Pibb Xtra." Using AI to switch from Dr Pepper in the original image to Pibb Xtra may have been part of the original joke: Pibb Xtra has more caffeine than most colas.
