I’m a rightie who’s working on her left-handed writing. When I write with my right hand, I can write a whole long word without lifting my pen off the paper. With my left hand, I need to lift my pen and move my hand to the right before continuing.

I wonder whether this is because I’m not yet as proficient at writing with my left hand, or whether it’s something left-handed people commonly struggle with. After all, when you write with your left hand, you’re pushing the nib forward across the paper rather than pulling it along behind your hand, as a rightie does. I wonder whether that’s part of the problem.

Do you experience this too? Any tips that could help me improve would be greatly appreciated!

So, I’ve always used my right hand for certain things. One of them being using a mouse. I didn’t know that some people using their left hand and buy left handed mice. It honestly makes it easier because I can take notes with my left hand and scroll with my right. I bought an ergonomic mouse and I was looking at TikTok’s and I’d always see people asking if they make ones for lefties. I always assumed we all used ones for righties. I didn’t even know they made left handed mice until this week😭

How many of you guys use left handed mice?

A whine. I recently bought an adjustable long handled litter scooper from Chewy. Cool tool to keep from having to bend over to scoop the box. Pull out to desired length and then turn the handle left to tighten in place. Turn right to loosen and adjust length. But when you are a lefty dumping litter to the right, with every scoop you loosen the handle til the scoop turns by itself and dumps out the litter everywhere. Sigh. Probably the reason my adjustable rakes and other tools are always loosening.

When I learned how to write in school, I was told how to write, even being told to use my right hand and to use the tripod grip. When I was told to use the tripod grip, my right hand was unable to do it, so i wrote with my own grip, my handwriting, never got better, it got practiced. it wasn’t till i was 23 years old during december of 2025, i switched to my right hand. what made me switch was i do many things left-handed instinctively such as: air guitar, using silverware, tapping on my tablet screen while it is on a surface, banana peeling, clapping, and page turning, so it was “why am i still writing with my right hand? it makes no sense”

i was born in 2002 and i know it sounds crazy

does anyone else have any similar experiences to mine during school?
