This is me. Not Me, Me. But she portrays someone who could very well be me. I was laughing!!!
I admit, it’s funny. It’s not exactly a laughing matter, though. I know there are people like me who have a problem with their sense of direction. However, how I was exhibiting this was worrying me somewhat as I felt that I wasn’t normal anymore. Well, I Googled the other day and it turned out, I was both right and wrong.
While I felt better to find out that there are more of us out there who are like this, I just confirmed that it’s still a brain issue, one of several possible ones. (Just Google and you’ll see–er–read what I mean). It is also very possible that we didn’t use to be this way. That got me into thinking, “Heeey…come to think of it, I don’t remember being this way either when I was a kid.” So I wonder what caused this…
Luckily, it’s often not something really serious. And lucky for me again, while I do get lost at times, I always reach my destination. At times, I am even able to do remember directions. I’m not hopeless! I just need to be more observant of where I am, of the landmarks, of anything that should be easy to remember.
But it is funny 😉

Is this you, too? Share to us your experiences and so will I. I’ll share to you mine if you’ll share to me yours. Deal?
I wrote a whole post about this, so I understand! I did work hard on improving it though. I’m proud to say.

Traveling or commuting is tricky especially when you don’t know the area. Better to have a friend who knows the area or make a dry-run before getting there. lolz. Ask direction at least five ppl and hopefully, try to remember if person A to person E said similar landmarks then it means you’re heading the right area.

I always try to find out how to go to places I am not familiar with, but sometimes, for some reason, I still get lost or I miss the landmark. I do ask people, but in my experience, there are some who do more harm than good even if unintentional.
In my last job before my current one, I got to the first interview fine. The second time, when it was the owner to interview me, I made sure to travel much earlier so I would be early for the interview. For some reason, I missed my landmark even if I kept my eyes wide open and realized I was way past it. Had to ask people around and follow their directions that actually got me lost more. Eventually, I got to the interview…two hours late!!! LOL!!!
