    I have the same situation. I researched it and found a variety of explanations. The one that makes the most sense to me is that is is a form of dyslexia. There are also people who cannot tell east, west, north, south, which is a variant of the same disorder.

    The only problems this has caused me is in dance and exercise classes, I am always going the wrong way. Driving seems to be ok and I sometimes picture myself in the car to decide which way is right or left.

    Always had that problem. Turns out I am slightly ambidextrous. I found out from a occupational therapist.
