You're only shocked by what your mind can accept. If I have a red car in my garage and I wake up tomorrow and it's now blue, my mind won't be able to accept that. I'll think someone is playing a joke on me or I'm going crazy.
Your mind would not be able to accept you sitting on a chair and the chair suddenly disappearing or changing into something else. You're not ready for that so you are given what you can deal with without going mad.
