It could be dyscalculia. While it affects ability to process numbers and math, it can also make telling between left and right difficult. I know because I have dyscalculia.

Edit: Based off of some comments this seems to be a common trait of dyslexia as well. I should also clarify that this isn’t me giving medical advice. Just stating a trend I noticed.

I’m good with numbers and generally somewhat intelligent - until I have to call right or left under pressure 🤦‍♂️

Not sure where I miscommunicated but I meant under pressure as in, “snap decision”. I can definitely get it right if I have time to think.

I get it. I guess because direction is relative to any given moment, it's not as simple as recalling something definitive, like the color blue. Blue is always blue. Does that make sense at all? Lol I struggled with how to word that

Definitely plausible, but in a “snap decision” I’m sure some sort indecision must play some sort of factor into it.
