Umm..yes, I am but I have gotten TONS better.
However, we were taught bizarrely for North & South so it took me forever to figure it out & I have to think about it sometimes.
We were always taught that in front of you is North (so forever, I thought whatever way I was going was North & behind me was South). We used to have to stand up & point forward for North, South, East & West (this was probably 2nd or 3rd grade -- even though when we were pointing forward we were actually pointing West due to how our school was situated). Now that I'm grown, I realize that is how it is on a map they were teaching but it got ingrained in my brain that pointing forward is North.
Now, I know South is going toward where my childhood house is & going North is away from that (since we lived on a State Highway and our address had south in it! So, if you go past that house, you are going South).
Then I got the point of if I'm heading toward the city we are going East (if you go too far East of Chicago you end up in water! ROFL!) and if we were going away from the city it's West.
I didn't know Interstates followed E/W & N/S patterns until DH told me about even numbers going E/W & odd numbers going N/S. THAT has helped.
I still do usually need the turn Left or Right though, especially when you are talking side streets, etc... Usually I just ask them main streets they are coming from and can give directions out that way and usually use the Left/Right along with landmarks. You will pass this store or that since it helps especially if you are going to be on a road for a bit since sometimes you wonder if you went too far or not (I know I do when driving).
I can read a map though so if I got really, really lost I suppose I could figure it out one way or another.
UNLESS I'm driving in cornfields in the dark and can't find a street name to save my life (that happened to us coming back from Disney!). The police blocked the road we were on & made us turn. We were clueless & I hadn't the foggiest idea where we were (other than a paved road through the cornfields, who knew there were even roads back there!) nor what any of the cross streets were. I was desperately looking at the map for "If you see this street or that one, we can get back"...FINALLY found a sign that if we took the road we could connect to other ones we knew. Nothing like getting lost an hour from your home after driving to FL without a problem.
Are you directionally challenged? When I give out directions to people, I will say... go north 2 blocks, turn east...blah, blah, blah... and 9 times out of 10 they will say, just tell me right or left. 
And then there are folks who can't figure out which way the numbered blocks run... 
Yep, me, too. DH will tell me, "Turn north on Such and Such a Street." I look at him blankly and tell him that when I'm in rush hour traffic, I don't have time to get out and check the moss on the trees. Just a right or left will work for me. 
I love to travel!!!
) it really works!
Once I get out of my immediate community I'm fine.
