Meaning
使用「I'm not used to」時，通常會接名詞或動名詞（即動詞加上 -ing 形式），來指出不習慣的對象。例如：
這個表達的重點在於強調目前的狀態，而不是過去的經驗。因此，如果你想表達已經開始逐漸習慣某事，可以使用「I'm getting used to」。例如：「I'm getting used to the cold weather.」表示「我正在逐漸習慣寒冷的天氣。」
重要的是：「I'm not used to」強調現階段的陌生感或不適應，而不是過去的經歷或未來的改變。這使得它特別適合用來描述當下的感受。Today's Sentences

Writer's Note
What kinds of activities are you NOT used to? I've been consistently running these past few months and it has been a struggle. The mix of living in a hot and humid city plus being an inactive person caused all sorts of obstacles in my attempt to run. But I realized that you can feel unfamiliar with something and have it turn out to be a really fun and positive part in your life. Share your personal stories of what sorts of things you weren't used to but turned out to be super fun and great.
