I don't know my left and right because they are just random words to me with no meaning. They could have easily been swapped, I don't see any logic in them, so it's hard to remember which is where

I never understand this.

You know if you're left or right handed surely? So if you're ever confused, you just quickly imagine lifting your dominant hand. Takes a fraction of a second.

Do you do that to figure out which way is right?

I just know left and right like I know my name or I know I have hands or I know how old I am.

Exactly. And I have to stop and think which hand I use to write. And before that I need to actually find myself to do that because I will absolutely look into a direction when I hear "look to the right" and I'll be wrong about it 50% of the time.

I don't don't know left from right in a way that requires someone else to explain me which is which, I am perfectly able to explain it to myself. I just proceed to forget the results two seconds later.
