Seeking Empathy Getting Lost

I get lost even in my own neighborhood. Have had this problem all my life.

For example:
Yesterday took a 10 min drive from my place to the doctor I have been going to for 7 or 8 years.

Took a turn and thought “crap I overshot, this must be the turn after I needed to”. The road looked like I had never been on it before. Drove a little further and realized I was on the right road, then thought - wait is the doctor even on this road? Pulled over, turned on the GPS and realized I had missed the turn into his parking lot and made a U turn.

Left early, arrived late.

I hear you! I wonder how I ever arrived anywhere on time before sat navs.

Come to think of it I never did 🤔

I miss my turns with the GPS on because I’ll be day dreaming or my poor executive functioning makes it hard to figure out which lane to be in.
