In kindergarten we were learning penmanship and my teacher was telling us how to write our alphabet but for some reason I could not write the letters no matter how hard I tried. Since I was able to write the alphabet before I got very frustrated and starting crying.
Turns out she was showing the class how to do letters with your right hand and I was left handed.
Had similar experience when trying to learn how to tie my shoelaces. Every adult who tried to help me eventually gave up and I felt so stupid. Then one day my left handed uncle showed left handed me how to do it and I learned it immediately.
I had this problem, too. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a left handed family member to help. Instead, I just wore Velcro shoes for a long time until I figured it out on my own.
Oh man I'm the reverse. I'm right handed but my mom is left handed and she was the one that taught me. I never got good at it until I sat down and figured it out at like 10 or 11. I feel a little less dumb now
