You’re not the only one, it takes me a second or two. Sometimes I make an L shape with my hands to see which way is left. Then again, sometimes I forget my age and name haha.

My wife has trouble with this as well. She’s also not very good with spatial reasoning, I wonder if those are linked

I am pretty alright with spatial reasoning but have a hard time with left and right. Especially in multitasking scenarios. When driving during complicated situations and in unknown environments for example. I always get my guide to point or have a look at the nav.

Do you have to herd her around the supermarket? I’m forever guiding my mrs out of the way of other shoppers. No spatial awareness bless her.

Lmao it’s not that bad. Or rather, it manifests at a larger scale : she’ll wonder how we came to face this way by taking that route, or how we’re able to see our home from some vantage point. She isn’t very agile but I wouldn’t say she’s dyspraxic either.

Is it ever an issue for you both ?

I always look for my ring, then I know which hand is left.
