Very much the opposite--I have always had a strong natural sense of direction.

Yes.

Invariably, no matter what, I always go the wrong way first.

If I remember that, and then go the opposite way of where my internal compass says to go, then I still go the wrong way.

It's a remarkable curse. XD

My mind doesn't really have a map. More like places I know are isolated islands in a fog of war with no relation to each other

That's what I'm like! It's just landed masses with foggy bits

My partner’s brother was like this when he came to visit us. He’d drive in a random direction for a while and then call and be unable to describe where he was.

That's my honey who is more OCD than anything according to his therapist. However I can remember how to get back to that house party 30 years ago that one friend of a friend drove us to. Navigating happens to be my superpower.
