To this day I have problems telling left from right.

I will go the correct direction when I'm driving, and point the correct direction, but I will often say the wrong direction.

One friend tried to help me by telling me that "Right is the hand that you write with", but I'm left-handed.

Fortunately, I have a massive scar on my arm from where my arm was shattered into three places, and that scar is on my right arm, so every time I'm about to tell someone directions, I end up tapping the scars on my arms until I find the correct scar, and then I know that direction is right so I can point in the right direction.

Right/Left Confusion is very common. I have it, too.

People like us tend to say "No, your other left."

I had real trouble for a long time, but I can always glance down at my hand and see the L made by my left index finger and thumb. Eventually I could see it in my head. I memorize things with visual cues somehow IDK.

I try that method but then have to sit there and think about what direction L should be pointing.

I wrote so much as a child that my middle finger on my dominant hand is actually slightly deformed. Sometimes I still catch myself touching that messed up bone to remind myself which direction is which. :/

This is so bizzare to me. I can easily memorize people's phone numbers, I can remember what I did a month ago, I can learn fucking JavaScript, but remembering which is my left hand? Hardest job ever

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Have you considered getting a R tattoo on your left hand and a L tattoo on your right hand?

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 5 points 1 day ago

That would unironically work since in my language L means right

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

think of it like their alphabetical order (assuming reading left to right, of course). L is left of R, R is right of L.

Are you me? My scar is from breaking it in 2 places, but all the rest lines up exactly. Left handed, good sense of actual direction, and even useless advice that only makes it more confusing.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's entirely possible. Are you a six foot one Native American dude?

If so, like, hate to break it to you, but we might have dissociative identity disorder.

What if it's the opposite of DiD? Like it's two bodies that believe they're the same person?
