    I’m not judging anyone but I never realized how many people struggle with left vs right. I’ve never had an issue with it, even when looking in mirrors or video, my brain just figures it out. My gf, brother and mom I know struggle with it and always have.

    I wonder if there is some trait that makes it harder for some and almost instinctual for others.

      Yeah, I do have a memory of struggling with it when I was very young (5 or 6, probably), someone showed me the “your left hand makes an L when you put your thumb out” trick at a day camp… That’s my memory.

      Haven’t had an issue with it since, so shout-out to that dude I guess

        Same! Someone told me that your left hand makes an “L” so if I ever got confused I would just remind myself of that. As a kid it was my little secret because I’d just pretend to know while in my mind I’d picture my left hand making an L shape.
