Meaning
"I'm not used to"는 "나는 ~에 익숙하지 않다"라는 의미로, 어떤 상황이나 활동에 대해 아직 적응하지 못했거나 익숙하지 않음을 표현할 때 사용합니다.
이 표현은 주로 새로운 환경이나 경험, 혹은 평소에 자주 하지 않는 행동에 대해 이야기할 때 유용합니다. 예를 들어, "I'm not used to waking up early"라고 하면 "나는 일찍 일어나는 것에 익숙하지 않다"는 뜻입니다.
이 표현에서 "used to"는 "~에 익숙하다"는 의미로, 뒤에 명사나 동명사(동사에 -ing가 붙은 형태)를 동반합니다. 따라서 "I'm not used to" 뒤에는 익숙하지 않은 대상이나 행동이 와야 합니다. 예를 들어, "I'm not used to the cold weather"는 "나는 추운 날씨에 익숙하지 않다"는 의미입니다.
이와 반대로 "I'm used to"라고 말하면 "나는 ~에 익숙하다"는 긍정적인 의미가 되며, 어떤 것에 대해 잘 적응하고 있음을 나타냅니다.
쉽게 말해, "I'm not used to"는 새로운 상황에 적응하는 과정에서 느끼는 낯설음을 솔직하게 표현하는 방법입니다. 이 표현을 통해 여러분은 새로운 경험을 시작할 때의 느낌을 자연스럽게 전달할 수 있습니다.

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.
