  • Poor sense of direction, yes! I'm appalling at it too. I've got lost on routes I've driven countless times more times than is funny. Unless it's a journey I make literally every day/week, I have no confidence in my ability to get to my intended destination. I'll usually take several wrong turns, and if I'm giving someone a lift they'll express consternation at my inefficiency at finding the most logically short route to go - as though everyone else lives with a perfectly mapped out network of nameable roads and streets in their heads. Like a low-key version of 'the knowledge' (as I believe London taxi drivers call it) 

  • It’s the bane of my life. I can’t go anywhere or do anything,. It causes me so much anxiety and stress!
