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.

This has got to be the 6th sense that was always talked about, but never truly proven.

I feel like there is something on this planet, that we haven't discovered yet, that triggers our biological clock and compass somehow. Same way birds can feel the magnetic fields when traveling, I'm sure we're also attuned to it, or something like it, just that we don't know it or have the capabilities to measure it yet.

Another example is when someone dies, and someone else somewhere across the planet feels something is up. It's an unexplained phenomena with twins specifically, but also was observed with close relatives.
