Yes, I think you are right about right side being associated with negative emotions.
I also think we each DO have innate tendencies, but I don't think it necessarily dooms us. I think there is the possibility of sensitizing parents to the individual tendencies of their infants, and that this increased awareness and sensitivity would help prevent some of the suffering that many of us have experienced. If my parents had known how to respond appropriately to my "style" and could understand how I might be experiencing my world and myself, maybe I wouldn't have learned to be so self critical.
