I experience symptoms from both sides of the fence and I'm not sure their opposites as much as different experiences.

I bring jamais vu because I spent a long long time thinking it was deja vu because I had no alternative.

But most materialistic-minded science seems to dismiss it as a 'brain thing' relying heavily on psychology theory to explain it away.

Add to that the similar way people react to it in my life (same as yours, "Yeah. It happens... it's weird.... whatever.)  And it kind of reinforces that a) no on cares, b) no one has a clue, and c) "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."

I can accept that the mind/brain relationship 'creates' impressions which echo in our experiences, but the truth is it doesn't explain "everything" about deja vu.  And dismissing it as a purely physiological phenomenon might be not doing justice to the countless experiences it has affected.

I felt that there was a reason for them like i could use it to do something, then i started to feel stupid whilst trying to explain it to people so now i just keep them to myself.

I'm just happy to know that i'm not the only person out there with this "gift".

It's a glitch in the brain.
Natural happening.
It's blamed on dual processing and memory correction.
Dysfunction of memory circuits.
Sometimes people who get it have temporal lobe epilepsy. 
Nothing supernatural about it.

I am not blowing smoke up your ass but I had Deja Vu my entire life. I also had Sleep Paralysis my entire life. Almost 1000 episodes lifetime with some 7' faceless hooded demon. I have contacted and spoke with Dr. David Hufford of Pennsylvania State University and Dr. Sheila Pryce Brooks; York University London, UK. You may want to look up Brooks as she is in contact with many and the Dali Lama follows her on X.

Having Deja Vu is in my opinion a Spiritual Gift at the lower end of the gift spectrum.

A glitch in the brain is more than likely but I've always felt that it was something more than just having a straight up scientific explanation because i get them quite a bit.

Nobody else i know of seems to get them. I asked my partner if she had any experiences like deja vu and she said that she doesn't, perhaps i'll ask my family and friends.

I do trust science and i believe that trusting science is a good thing, however, i have seen and experienced things that i don't think science could explain.
Like i said before i have had these deja vu experiences since i was a small child whist others around me whether it be adult or child did not experience them.
