It may become almost impossible if I’m under pressure.

If I’m asked to turn on one side or another... oh my!
Lift one hand or the other, I will be very hexitating....
Better not to ask me indications or driving directions the road if you do not like to end up in Siberia...

It’s really frustrating and sometimes very embarrassing, really.
I remember at school one day a teacher suddenly said: “oh look at your left!”
They all turned to the window to see a beautiful bird, I was the only one turning my head to the wall and even said something silly like: “there’s no bird on the wall!”
I felt so totally stupid I wanted to disappear under the floor. Guys and girls mocked me for ages. (Other girls were nastier)

Do you also experience this, and if yes, on a scale from 1 to 10 (1 is very rarely and 10 is almost always) at which level?

Speaking of myself I would say: YES, 6/7 in normal condition, up to 9 if very nervous/under pressure

I was dislexic for years , I still am to a point and yes I have a real problem with right and left and yes it can be embarrassing but after 50 odd years learnt to live with it .
