Sentirse como sapo de otro pozo

"Sentirse" or "estar como sapo de otro pozo". To be in a strange environment, without knowing a single person, strange, foreign, unfamiliar, in the end, uncomfortable. Similar to "like a fish out of the water". Other options? Feeling this way doesn't affect the ability to perform our tasks.

The opposite is "sentirse" or "estar en su elemento". How can I say this in English?
