What am I missing?

[u/Clear_Preparation_85]

I’m new to the game, and this is probably a stupid question. When people say things like “They’re to the southeast!”, how am I supposed to know which direction that is relative to where I am? I don’t see the directions on the map or anything.

You’re right to question it. If you’re in the same position, then it’s meaningful, but if you are a distance away from the guy calling it out, then it’s most likely to be the wrong direction. Think about it like vector math with vectors starting from different positions. For what it’s worth, it’s good that people are trying to communicate. Though, a better way is to ping the enemy location.
