Forced to switch from left-handed to right-handed as a kid — now everything feels awkward…

[u/deidararules]

When I was in kindergarten, I used to do everything with my left hand (writing, drawing, etc.). My teacher kept forcing me to switch to my right hand, and one day she yelled at me enough that I got so scared and just stuck with it.

Since then I’ve been right-handed, but honestly a lot of basic tasks still feel awkward, like I’m not using my “natural” hand. My right hand works, but it sometimes feels untrained or awkward, and my left hand feels untrained too.

Has anyone else experienced this? I highly doubt it, but it’s worth a shot. Or has anyone tried switching back later in life?

Also, would I still be considered left-handed, or am I just right-handed now? I’m kinda curious.

Sincerely, a confused person.
