    facing left

    On your left side. Whether that’s “facing left” or “facing right” depends on whether you’re comparing it to being on your front or on your back. Personally, I instinctively compared it to front, which would mean being on your left is facing to the right.

    So the way to be clear and unambiguous is to say which side of your body you’re referring to.

        your left hand is always the left one. It’s relative to you, not to your direction

        Right. That’s my point. That’s why I proposed using terminology that relates only to you, as opposed to the necessarily external language of the parent comment which used “facing”.
