What's something about your own conscious experience that still feels genuinely strange to you?

I've been thinking about how most of us spend every waking moment being conscious, yet there are parts of the experience that still feel weird when you stop and look closely.

For me, it's things like suddenly becoming aware that I've been thinking for the last 10 minutes without realizing it, or remembering something I wasn't actively trying to remember.

Not necessarily paranormal or supernatural stuff.

Just ordinary aspects of conscious experience that seem strange once you pay attention to them.

What's something about being conscious that still puzzles you?
