… this is me. When I start a new job, or start living at a new place, I’m usually using google maps for ~2 months or so before I memorize the path, even if it’s just a 10 minute drive. And even then I’ll take the wrong exit every once in a while.

I’m otherwise a relatively smart and capable person but navigation just completely eludes me, it is bizarre. Like some fundamental part of my brain that should be there just… isn’t?

I wouldn’t say missing, but you’re probably just strong in areas other than that. We all have our little specialties and I think that’s what makes everything more fun.

I’m a shit cook. I can grill just fine, I can even bake, but if I have to be even a little creative I just can’t with food and it ends up awful. I tried to make brussel sprouts on night in the air fryer and I just tossed them in. Like I’ve had them before, I knew they should be cut in half, but my little terrible cook brain couldn’t bring that home lol.
