    How often do you get lost? Do you have a good sense of direction?
     
    i frequently have no idea where i am lmao. if i am paying attention to where i am walking i can find my way back perfectly even via a different route but- i usually don't pay attention. and if i get into a vehicle i suddenly have no information in my head at all.

    i also do not have a good head for cardinal directions. for a full decade of my life i thought the highway was north of my house. it is south. my mental map of the area is still completely upside-down and i have to stop and turn it around before giving directions. also i can't read maps. its a mess :P
     
    As Ivysaur can confirm, my spacial awareness is not keen. I'm just not strong in memorizing new places or following directions to get somewhere I haven't been.
     
    Happy to say that I don't get lost that much so long as I've already been to a location at least once. I naturally always take mental notes of common landmarks, whether it be on the road or in big buildings, so I can mark places I've already been in and prevent wandering.

    Also it helps that I'm often still too shy to ask for directions, so being able to do it myself is a blessing.
     
    I am never lost because, either I know where I go, or I use Google Maps every single time I go somewhere new ^^"
    (That's cheating I guess)
    So I wouldn't say I have a good sense of direction because it's not something I've ever worked on.
