I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s uncommon. It gets even harder when trying to figure out relative left-right to other people.<p>Here&#x27;s a tip I learned once: hold your hands out, palms facing away from you and fingers up. Point your thumbs at each other and index fingers straight up. The left hand will form an &quot;L&quot; (for left) and the right hand will form a backwards &quot;L&quot;.
