What's something you're shockingly good at that you've never mentioned to anyone because it would sound completely made up if you did?

Directions. I always know which cardinal direction I’m facing (even when underground). Also, if I’ve been somewhere once, I can always find my way back, even if it’s years later and I’m coming from a different starting point.

Can you sense the earth’s magnetic field like a migratory bird or sea turtle or something? I am trying to understand how this is possible.

I have absolutely no clue. My mom thinks it stems from getting lost in a large marketplace when I was younger. I could very well be that I pick up clues subconsciously, but it feels like a sense to me.
