Trouble with left and right

  Author:  19871  Category:(General Advice) Created:(10/17/2009 7:59:00 AM)
This post has been Viewed (4037 times)

This is something which has been plaguing me for a few years and I'm hoping that anyone might know any tips that might help out with this small problem I have....

I have a problem telling left and right, I am aware of what is left and what is right, but in my mind, the words occasionally switch places.

I was reading a diagram from left to right to a friend, and he was thoroughly confused because I told him I was reading it from right to left. It wasn't that I wasn't aware of the direction I was reading, but that I thought my left was my right, and my right was my left.

Does anyone else have such troubles or is it just me? If so does anyone have any tips to share?

Date: 10/17/2009 8:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 11097    I used to have the same problem so I made little mental notes in my head and always remembered my heart was on my left side... so whatever was on the side of my heart was left and the other right hope that makes sense lol  
Date: 10/17/2009 8:44:00 AM  From Authorid: 15228    I think this is fairly common. In basic training I had to quickly learn my right from my left (the drill seargent would always say, "no, your other left" when I got it wrong). I always visualized the hand I write with knowing it's my right so I would know which foot to start off marching with which is the left.  
Date: 10/17/2009 8:45:00 AM  From Authorid: 63026    I have problems with left and right giving directions over the phone...

  
Date: 10/17/2009 9:12:00 AM  From Authorid: 46486    When my friend drives she gets confused when I say "turn right" and she'll turn left instead  
Date: 10/17/2009 9:36:00 AM  From Authorid: 54444    Just avoid enlisting in the military; them drill masters will ruin your life.  
Date: 10/17/2009 11:10:00 AM  From Authorid: 57079    I have the SAME exact problem! I end up lost sometimes if I don't notice, thats why I got a GPS! It mostly happens when I'm driving because I have to make spit second decisions, usually when I'm with people outside of the car, I have enough time to either remember or correct myself before it becomes confusing. My parents and boyfriend tease me so much about it! I just try to take an extra second or two to think about exactly what I mean and make sure I say what I mean. I use to just say "that way!" and point, but that seems to annoy people sometimes!

After you are full and you still see some food, that's what's left.

Date: 10/17/2009 5:48:00 PM  From Authorid: 64365    yeah...I always have trouble with my other left...and my other right. It might have something to do with looking in a mirror...you suddenly adjust tp tje fact that your left side is your left and your right is your right in your mirror image...but when talking to a person your left is to their right and your right is to their left. It is confusing. The only thing I can do for myself other than correcting the error, like turning left wjen I meant to go right, is stop and think a moment to get my left right orientation right.  
Date: 10/17/2009 5:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 64365    and, another thing I can do for myself, and anyone reading my replies, is always have my glasses on when I type them

Date: 10/17/2009 6:14:00 PM  From Authorid: 15228    You could be like my mother-n-law and give directions using north, south, east and west which is even more confusing than left and right! When I first tried to help her in the kitchen she would tell me to get the pans out of the "north cabinet", or get the hot pads out of the 'south drawer'...I finally told her I forgot to bring my compass.  
Date: 10/21/2009 3:51:00 AM  From Authorid: 3277    it took me forever to figure it out, just recently became able to know left from right in my head, but if im receiving directions in a car or having to give directions i have to think harder than most normal people do, it drives my husband nuts, I use my wedding ring since its always on my left i always know which way to go. If you arent married or dont want to get married or hate rings in general invest in a cheap watch and wear it on the same wrist all the time, youll eventually get to where you dont even think about having to use it.  
Date: 10/28/2009 12:38:00 PM  From Authorid: 12103    I had troubles for a VERY long time! lol When I was a child I had a wart on my finger and I remembered that my wart was on my right hand...but then when it went away YEARS later, I spaced out a little. I even catch myself sometimes looking down at my hand when I'm thinking about "left or right"....

Tip for you? If you make a "L" using your index finger and your thumb, only your LEFT hand will actually be the "L"...if you make this "L" with your right hand, it will be backwards...... Did I explain it right?
  
Date: 10/28/2009 5:27:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 19871    hmm L shape I got it xD  
Date: 11/11/2009 5:44:00 AM  From Authorid: 53054    I still cant tell the difference even though I know. Everyone knows this and now they just say my side your side whilst driving ect. Makes it a lot easier!   
Date: 1/23/2010 1:12:00 AM  From Authorid: 63400    your absolutely correct no joke your right is your left and your left is your right too,..your just not bacwards like the rest of them who have it right.?lol...really its a male female thing bookmarked find ysalater thankd
