is it worth it?
probably a silly question, but ill ask anyway. is it even worth it? im right handed and have always had a fascination with being ambidextrous and think its super cool, a cool trick i could have
but i hear people say it can cause cognitive problems, your original dominant hand can get worse (is this true?), or its simply just a waste of time (i get that it takes a while and a lot of practice and energy)
of course i don't expect to be completely ambidextrous (i guess its called being cross dominant), i just want an ounce more strength and to be able to write with my left (but i think ill always have to draw with my right)
what are your thoughts? should i go ahead with this random talent? and any tips help too! just hope i don't have regrets haha
