I always THINK it means that and then I have to remind myself that, no, it just means "confused"

It's what it means! AAAAAAGGGGHHHH young people these days. While I'm ranting, "reticent" is not a high-status synonym for "reluctant", and there is no such thing as being "reticent to do something"! <rant rant rant>
