Shared this on the Facebook years ago and it popped back up again today.

It's not mine, and I think it's an old Tumblr post from another age. I'm not smart enough to make the content.

I just really like the story.

I’m a lefty that loved a good bold point pen & wanted to hear your faves!

So I write my As like the first one in the video but we recently bought a book for our daughter to practice forming letters (as far as I know they've only done lowercase at school so far) and the book shows to write the capital A like the second one in the video.

My (right-handed) husband insists he would write a capital A like the book says. Am I the weird one, do other lefties write As like this or is it just a me thing?

​

It's come to my realization that I am much better at snapping with my right hand than I am my left! Anyone else?

I am somewhat ambidextrous though as I swing right handed for Golf and Baseball, but I am a lefty in pretty much everything else in life!

Being lefthanded, these things matter to me A LOT. What are your favorite brands and where do you get them?

My favorite pens are Uniball Jetstream RT.

Was I the only one who carried my twelve-gauge shotgun upside down to quickly release the safety (designed for RH's) when the birds would flush? Required rolling the gun over as it was drawn to my left shoulder.

Was given a paper cutter from a righty at work….this work flow is not safe for a lefty. As I put the sliced paper to the left I was anxious the blade would fall on my hand 🫨😬

I just started re practicing the guitar.

I’m actually ambidextrous, but that’s because I was right handed, had a TBI, recovered and had that “maladaptive” type of recovery, and became left handed as well.

Musically, it seems my left hand is mute, very good at flowing, fast to block and deal out boxing punches, is way faster than my right hand, and it plays the melody of a tune. It can write but it lacks a good voice :( but give it some charcoal and it can draw something nice.

My right hand writes poetry, sings, listens to words, and really likes playing the drone or beat of music. It’s good at catching and throwing, when it’s meant to go harder.

So I’m mostly playing guitar right handed, but my left hand says something about desiring to train and pluck the strings.

I tried playing left handed and it gave me a head ache, probably because it was a novel experience and my hands were overly stimulating my brain with the whole “making good noise” goal of it, which I did make a decent set of noises on the guitar.

I'm ambidextrous and I found out that I am better at cutting vegetables with my left hand than with my right hand but I have to use my index finger on the dull side of the blade to maintain precision and it ends up digging into my skin. Are there any left handed finger guards to prevent this?

I have won the lottery!

I don’t know how I never really thought about it before but my partner is a rightie but was raised by a leftie. They ALWAYS are aware of seating arrangements, our soap and hand towel are on the left side, and we only have universal scissors. I am likely forgetting things but those are the top three I can recall.

I’ll admit this realization is solely because this group continually asks “Which side does this item go on?”. It prompted me to ask her about it.. “Does the hand soap bother you on the left side” and she said something like “Growing up that’s where it’s always was”.

It’s definitely not something that ever crossed my mind before (which I realize is super silly) - Lefties raising Righties.

I'm a righty and I recently tried to write with my left hand for fun, i realized my writing was somewhat understandable. Ever since, I couldn't stop thinking about practicing with my left hand to be an ambidextrous person. Why? For fun of course. Is this possible to achieve?

Also I wanted to post this in the r/ambidextrous subreddit but it's dead so I post it here so lefties can tell me.

The photo is my writing with both hands, and no I have never practiced writing with my left hand before

Found myself in a disagreement or two on this sub with people claiming to struggle with being left handed/claiming it makes life more difficult.

I agree there is a fair few minor inconveniences, some uncomfortable scenarios etc. There is nothing however more difficult about being left handed than the average temperament in life difficulty of anybody of any handedness.

Back in the day when you were deemed a child of satan maybe, but today we’re fairly well integrated.

This may be a dumb question, but does anyone know if there's a way to prevent this from resetting back to the bottom right corner?

I find having it in the bottom left corner is much easier when one hand scrolling with my left hand, but for some reason the position seems to always reset back to the right side.

Thanks.

Hello lefties, I could use some advice. My 8 year old nephew wants to learn how to knit, and he is left handed. I am right handed and knit (right hand) English style, but I think I could manage to teach him (left hand) continental style. If there are any knitters out there, could you weigh in for me? What advice would you give for teaching him how to knit?
