Left and right confusion

If you can't immediately tell your left from your right without using some kind of trick, you're not alone.

“The one in your left hand!” “No, your other left!”

It seems silly. After all, it’s not like we’re new to the concept; we’ve been using our left and right hands all our lives. Yet we sometimes don't know, some of us more often than others.

“Left and Right Confusion”. And it is very common. scientists remain in the dark about exactly why some people experience frequent left-right confusion. It appears, however, to be linked to brain lateralization

According to Wikipedia The lateralization of brain function is the tendency for some neural functions or cognitive processes to be specialized to one side of the brain or the other

And according to an expert study during my research

People with it shouldn’t be concerned, however, It’s not a form of dyslexia, Nor does it reflect any neurological problem.

But it's all good, it is not a life-threatening condition,
