I've tried different experements with various compasses. Everytime I hold it North points in the opposite direction(South), but when I pass it to someone else North points North. Is there any explaination for this? Has anyone ever heard of this before? Am I cursed or gifted?

Have you ever been abducted by aliens? Seriously--search your body carefully right now for unexplained scars or mysterious markings.
If you find any, quickly make a pointy tin foil hat (a big one now, don't take any chances!) and put it on securely with rubber bands. Underneath the hat, be sure to strap on about a dozen iron washers. Next, head for the nearest swimming pool. Jump in. Float on the surface, holding your body as rigidly straight as you can. Wait a few minutes. Now...which way are YOU pointing? Ask a friend (or a random stranger--if any are still anywhere near you), they'll be very impressed with your scientific curiosity and will invite you to many parties. If you're not pointing north, nothing is wrong and your compass is broken. If you are pointing north, then nothing is wrong but your compass is still broken.
No mysterious scars? Eh, no big deal. You compass is probably just broken. Get a new one.
Good luck

your body simply has a higher magnetic pull than most, likely a lot of iron in your system. not a curse, not a gift, its medical, chemical fact

Check your clothing, watch, and physical person for objects made of steel or iron. Something you're wearing is throwing it off.

I think you're probably wearing a piece of magnetic jewellery actually.
