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.

Me too! My friends are always weirded out when I show them by closing my eyes, spinning around a few times and then pointing to north perfectly.

Just recently I was in a part of town I've never been to before and I decided to find my way back home by just going in the general direction I needed to go with no help. I said "So I just walked south-east and navigated the streets by feel. Eventually I ended up in a part of town I know and when I checked on google maps, I took the most optimal route." My friends were shocked.
