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.
If I learned anything in geography class than that west is on the left

Because people who always ask “why” don’t achieve anything. Did you get nothing out of the story above?
As a kid, I had a book about a kid always asking “why?” and at some point, aliens came to conquer the earth. While everybody was freaked out, the kid just continued asking “why?”. “To exploit earth’s resources” “to conquer other words” “to exploit their resources too” “to conquer other galaxies” “to further our rule” “to conquer… well I see now that it’s all meaningless and we go home now.”
This is a story every child should read and don’t ask me why, it just is.
In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets, and steal loaves of bread.
Anatole France, quoted in Worshiping Power by Peter Gelderloos

This isn’t pedantic, it’s just a fun playing with word. And don’t even bother to call me a pedant for pointing this out.
You got it all wrong, it’s their choice, too. That’s the whole point, it’s always their choice. It always has been. If you want to change that, you’re privileged. Their privilege is the status quo, the default, their god given right. God gave you nothing.
