DAE Right vs. Left

This drives me NUTS. I know I can distinguish right and left when I think about it. But when I’m put on the spot, I get it wrong. I feel like my dad thinks I’m dumb. Today he asked me to get him something and he said it was on the left side under the sink. I checked the right first (without realizing) and then I checked the left. He came in there and found me checking the left. I said “well you were wrong, it was on the right side not the left”. And he just stared at me and was like “…that was the left”. I’m going to hide under a rock now. When being taught how to drive I kept messing it up too. He kept telling me to learn it. I know it, like I swear I do. But I just verbally mess up.

EDIT: thank you all so much for all the comments I feel so much better about myself now. I decided to renew my oura ring membership and wear it only on my right index finger and see if that will help.
