Left-handed or Right-Handed?

I didn't used to believe it was genetical, however the chart looks complicated enough for me to accept it then attempt to understand

Right-handed.

I'm glad too, because I like the letter "R" better than the letter "L".

oooh, genetics... *Homer Simpson style drooling*

Er anyway.

Still working towards being ambidextrous.

My left-handed writing takes longer and doesn't look as neat but I can do it. I can eat with both hands with knife, fork, and spoon, and I can use chopsticks with both but it takes a bit longer left-handed. Ic an also sew with a needle and thread with both.

Now to learn to knit left-handed.

Left handed and gay. I guess if you are gonna be in the minority you may as well go large

Left-handed here. I wonder whether that has anything to do with the excessive amounts of pressure I seem to exert on any pen I use...

I get the feeling that I was born left-handed but was raised right-handed. My dad was the same way. He jokes that he became ambidextrous because "there were no left-handed golf clubs", but in actuality he was taught at a Catholic school. So he was forced to learn or he got a ruler across the knuckles.

I used to be perfectly ambidextrous until almost 2nd grade. I am right-handed.

@Dune It was weirdly common back then (like your dad's presumable generation, I don't know his) to make kids use their right hands. My big brother (who grew up in the 80s so mostly over that, had trouble in Kindergarten because they made him use his right hand, the grade 1 teacher changed that though). I like most of the world am right-handed.

>_> I was born in the late 80s and can still relate to it sadly

If you're trying to find out what your natural preference is. Here's a quick test.

Without thinking, Make a telescope. Grab a Coke can or something and hold it to your eye as if you were trying to see something.

Do it Now.

Okay done?Great which eye did use? Was it the left one or the right one?

Oh, I've known I've been left-eye dominant for years. But I also have no finesse with my left hand. This made archery... somewhat difficult. As well as anything else that requires aiming.

Damn. Lucked out there didn't you?

I am not left-handed.

Lefty here.

I am notably spacier and less sociable than my right-handed twin sister.

It's strange with me.

On one hand, most normal things like writing and using silverware, I use right hands.

On the other hand, some tasks, such as catch-ball or fighting (as in, boxing, wrestling, etc), my left hand tends to work better.

You could have just typed out the trope name.

I'm right-handed.

So am I! What a coincidence! We must have so much in common!
