MODERATORS
Was surprised I started mixing up left and right after I broke my right-hand wrist while biking.
Turns out I subconsciously associated "right" for the direction my stronger hand was on, and once my left hand started feeling like the more dominant one during recovery - my brain would automatically choose that "right" should be on my left-hand side instead, until I actively thought about which direction is which.
This gradually decreased out as my right hand recovered and got back to being the dominant one over the next few years, but was eye-opening what shortcuts my brain uses for such basic things.
That's really interesting. There are probably more people like you, but who will never know if nothing happens to their dominant hand.
