Spatial awareness

What’s yours like? I am a male with very poor spatial awareness. I also have a rotten sense of direction. A major reason why I stick to near home and don’t like unfamiliar places.
I tried this parking game and gave up after 5mins 45 seconds and hitting other parked cars three times !

My spatial awareness is horrible! I walk into walls a lot! :blush:

It’s an effort for me not to bump into people when walking, especially when it’s semi crowded or worse. Indoors I frequently walk into the edge of the coffee table or the bed.

That’s more how my spatial awareness is off too… I’m always bumping into walls and big items. Or I’ll reach out to set a cup on a counter and end up just shy of that when I let go… another spill to clean up.

My sis and I are having a bit of a debate on this one… I feel it’s my spatial awareness… but my sis has asked me to entertain the idea that I might need new glasses.

As far as my sense of direction… I’m Ok with that… as long as I’m out in a park. In the middle of a heavily wooded park I know my North from my South. Downtown however… with all the skyscrapers that block out the sun… I get all turned around and can’t keep it straight.

I do have really bad vision, but, even with brand new glasses, I still do the same thing.

I’m like that I wonder if it’s lack of attention and / or visual awareness.

I think my spatial awareness is fine but on my driving test I scored 1 out of 5 for depth perception? Lol

Today I kept hearing the word spatial in my head randomly so I decided to look it up

I wouldn’t feel too badly about having trouble with this game. The controls are not the least bit intuitive. I took me two minutes to park the vehicle without collisions. In real life I can back a 78 seater school bus out of a crowded parking lot at West Edmonton Mall using only my mirrors and without striking anything. Had to after security directed me to park there during a field trip just before X-mas and illegally parked dingbats blocked all of the forward routes.

All of which is to say that I don’t view the online game as a valid test of my skills.
