Write with my left, stab with my right. I've also had to learn how to become ambidextrous twice...

People who are left-handed are in their right minds... >.>

*shies away from objects thrown because of the pun*

I'm mainly righty, but I broke my arm when I was a kid, and had to write with my left hand. I got pretty good at it, and can still write legibly with either. I also do some things with my left hand more than my right, and vice-versa.

Yes. Definitely a thing. I put "ambidextrous" because I have mixed dominance that is nearly equal. I'm usually classified as right-handed because I write with my right hand; but I certainly did notice a significant handicap when I tore a tendon in my left wrist.

I was born ambi, considering how one of my parents' favorite stories involve baby Kyll switching thumbs depending on which direction baby Kyll was looking.

I tend to use my right more than my left though because, let's be honest, a lot of things are more convenient to do right-handed. Like cut with scissors. Or open doors. Or write. Like, even perforations for tearing off things like cheques are designed with righties in mind.

Though there are a few things I favor my left for, such as anything that involves touchscreens or shooting pistol.

Right is right therefore right is right in this situation about right or left. However in a situation when right is not right choose left as it is the one left.

I am right-handed. However, when I was younger, I had a weird thing where I just had to do things with the left side first. It was a temporary obsession, but one I've grown out of.

I used to be predominantly right-handed. Due to an accident (my own clumsiness in the house we'd just moved into), I ended up breaking my right wrist, wearing a cast for the duration of my fourth grade year. As such, I had to learn to compensate and do the usual tasks with my left hand.

Since then, I've alternated as I need to. I do some things with my right hand and others I used to do solely with my left because it feels easier. And, if my hand begins to hurt part way through the task, I switch! Feels perfectly natural now.

I am left handed, but with right handed tendencies? lol Being left handed in a right handed world, meant that I had to adapt to how I would do certain things. About the main thing that I do with my left hand are what I call delicate tasks. Such as, writing and eating with utensils.

I'm ambi. I write o.k. with both, faster with the right. I can shoot bow either way but I was born left handed right eye dominant. I am left in most sports but I play melodian right handed.
I think I tend a bit further left tho.... the main thing is I decided to write right.

Common trait for left handed people is they become sort of fuax right handed in everything that they can't get away with using their left hand, as many objects in our world are focused on convenience for right handed people.
