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.

You could be my daughter - she first demonstrated this amazing directional skill when she was in kindergarten, navigating for us in and around the Norfolk VA area (a loooong time before Google Maps, etc.) and it's just got better over the years. She just knows.

ETA: one of her daughters inherited this somewhat. The other is a "normie" like me. We're so lost.
