Confusion while driving, anyone else?

Does anyone else experience this? I don't know what's going on. Today, I was driving and I saw the "One Way" sign. I wanted to go left, but it in no way inconvenienced me in the slightest, other than it changed my plan. When I got to the stop sign I almost turned left (NOT the correct direction, there was also a concrete median). I think if I hadn't sat there due to heavy traffic, I would have made that left turn. I definitely could have gotten myself or others killed, that's how confident(?) I was in making the left turn, but I fully recognized the One Way sign and that I was going to have to make a right before I had gotten there. This isn't the first time something like this has happened to me. Yesterday, I almost missed my friend's street when I was taking her home. She told me we were at the turn, and I told her we weren't, I was very insistent (I had a "valid" argument, but it's fluff for now), we were in fact at the street and I had to move over into the turning lane later than one should have. "Small" things like this are starting to happen more and more. The first time something like this ever happened was in 2021 and nothing like it has ever happened until earlier this year but it's becoming more frequent. Does this happen to anyone else? Why? What is it?

That sounds scary. How long have you been able to legally drive? If this happens frequently I’d definitely make sure you don’t drive alone.

since I was 16. I've never not been able to drive except for those "grace periods" after a seizure where I don't drive
