Compass directions get me every fucking time though. I have to cycle clockwise N E S W to remember that west is “left”. If I’m in a fast-paced action packed video game and they say “head east/West” I’m going the wrong way every time.
I’ve actually been playing a video game with a translation that confuses east and west a lot, and because I’ve never had that problem it’s been making me feel like I’m losing my mind.
Fucking same. When I first learned compass directions, I mistakenly thought east was left and carried that habit for years and now I can’t unlearn it.
But things I know others struggled with learning as children I got right away and didn’t need to use any tricks to get. Like using your thumb and forefinger as the less than sign and turning your hand so it’s an L for “less than”. And I know some people who need to use that trick to remember which one is which as adults still.
No I’ve never had problems with left and right.

Bizarre how the brain works.
I still read “Never Eat Sour Watermelon” in my head to remember the order
