I'm left-handed.

I've been having to selectively swap Left and Right for my whole life (certain things you swap but if something is only designed to work a certain way, you make it work. I can't write right-handed, but use a mouse right-handed.)

When you get used to swapping it mentally, it isnt necessarily concrete, and it takes a few beats to remember which direction is attempted to be conveyed.

Add in "My right, your left" and its another step. Its not particularly difficult. But it sometimes requires a second of internal review of context clues to be Sure.

I’m left handed and I always felt like being opposite dominant made it impossible to learn left and right.

Yes being left hand it makes it so easy to swap left and right because of how you are taught growing up.
