At one point in my childhood, my dad made the comment, “Women don’t know compass directions.” I took offense to that and made a point to learn them to prove him wrong.

I felt vindicated in high school when he was coming to pick me up from a friend’s house and said, “I’m at the gas station. Do I go left or right?” I told him there were several gas stations on the way, and asked which direction he was facing to figure out which one he was by. He couldn’t tell me and finally hung up on me in a huff.

It's that way right where I'm pointing

It's easy. When you imagine south as a north being on the top then west is on the east side from it.

Opposite to the east.

I have problems telling right from left. At least I'm the moment, if I take my time I can tell.

But I almost always know my cardinal directions

If you extend your thumb and first finger, the L shape that is the correct way around is on your left hand.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Yeah I know when I have time to think about it.

It's just when people say: 'go left here' or me throng to indicate direction in a split second that my change of getting it right reduced to 50%. My brain doesn't grok that left right isn't absolute but related to orientation.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What helped me as a kid is imagine to write. That's my left hand and than I know which is which without thinking too consciously (in case you're right handed, it's the other way around obviously).

But interesting that you know absolute directions easily. That's a cultural thing actually. I think Australian Aborigines will say things like "my western foot hurts" because it's more intuitive for them that way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

If I think for it for s second I know, I'll think about my dominant hand too (although my dominant feet is on the opposite side so I don't have a clear dominant side).

Yeah the aboriginal method seems way more intuitive to me, yet it probably won't replace the left right system anytime soon :p

All roads lead to East New Westersouth.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Or just ask them which is west and they can point you towards it? Your not a compass needle lol, what is that assumption.
