You're not the only one, it takes me a second or two. Sometimes I make an L shape with my hands to see which way is left. Then again, sometimes I forget my age and name haha.

I always look for my ring, then I know which hand is left.

My wife has trouble with this as well. She's also not very good with spatial reasoning, I wonder if those are linked

[–] ngprc@feddit.de 4 points 5 months ago

I am pretty alright with spatial reasoning but have a hard time with left and right. Especially in multitasking scenarios. When driving during complicated situations and in unknown environments for example. I always get my guide to point or have a look at the nav.

Do you have to herd her around the supermarket? I'm forever guiding my mrs out of the way of other shoppers. No spatial awareness bless her.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Lmao it's not that bad. Or rather, it manifests at a larger scale : she'll wonder how we came to face this way by taking that route, or how we're able to see our home from some vantage point. She isn't very agile but I wouldn't say she's dyspraxic either.

Is it ever an issue for you both ?

[–] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 months ago

No it's not an issue. It's probably more a me thing than a her thing. I'm probably hyperaware of avoiding the personal space of others.
