Just learned I've been purling wrong for years...

Used to knit all the time in high school and decided to get back into it recently. Got some needles, yarn, knit a scarf, had a great time. Moved on to a hat pattern. I did a bunch of looking at YouTube videos and TikToks to see if I could learn anything new -- new patterns, techniques, etc. Watched a video about twisting stitches. Oh no. I've always "picked" both my knits and purls. I didn't realize you need to wrap the yarn counter clockwise on both stitches. I didn't think it mattered. Going clockwise on purls is so much easier, so I always did. Now I'm trying to learn how to purl with the same speed I used to. I've been looking into continental tips and also trying combination knitting? But combination still confuses me to some extent. Anyone else have this happen to them? Any continental purling tips?
