My sense of direction honestly is not the best. I frequently rely on google maps to guide me to the places I need to be. I often joke about how bad my sense of direction is by calling myself geographically challenged however If I really think about it, I rarely get lost. I can usually get by, by following street signs but google maps helps me out a lot. If I am going somewhere I’ve never been before then I try to go along with someone who’s been there before. Once I’m shown how to get there depending on whether I was paying as close attention or not I am usually able to get back to that place. Since I’m afraid to get lost I tend to stick to the paths that I know well.
Getting to and from a place I’ve never been to is sometimes very challenging. I have personally never read a map but I’m pretty sure I would not be able to understand it. Taking directions from someone is not easily processed by me. It takes multiple times of hearing the directions for me to slightly understand where to go and how to get there. So overall I am not great with directions, receiving them or giving them.
Hi,
I relate to this post so much because I don’t have a good sense of direction either and I mostly rely on google maps. I agree that getting to and from a place you haven’t been to before can be challenging at times.
While I think I have a good sense of direction, I do usually stick to the same paths also – I am kind of bad with street signs though.
