Ya' see, I had old school parents who thought that being right handed would lead to a better, easier life, since more stuff is designed to be right handed. Uhhhh... hmmmm. Doesn't sound entirely bad..... if it were true !
However, I apparently was born to be "super dominant left handed" ! And guess what ? I love everything "art" > but can't draw a freaking stickman
In school, if their were 500 kids in the athletic program, I would be dead last, every time, in kicking, hitting, swinging, "everything" !
Sports meant to me, instant, complete, humiliation. I would just cringe every time they announced the next sport.
After a bit, I just quit participating. They drug me into parent teacher conferences, put me on restriction, whatever, but I flat out refused to play.
To this day, anything to do with competition completely turns me off. I want nothing to do with it. I don't care to do better than anybody but myself.
Oh but also, my handwriting is atrocious ! I mean, its legible, but it looks {honestly} like a 6 yo wrote it. All caps, and like I struggled on each letter.... because I did.
I can barely sign my name, without having to pause and struggle a little to get started, and still, every time it will look substantially different.
And of course, I'm a one finger typist, so when you see me make these long posts, it might have taken me freaking 40 minutes, of one finger pecking...
Smartphones ! Texting ! Ha ! Everybody always says, well if you just practice, and yes, I get that this is probably great advice for 99.8% of the population > who didn't have their brain wiring to their body, completely screwed up ! But for those cases, its an entirely different story. I am SOOOO freaking disconnected
I can, and have done certain things for 50 years, then forget which hand I'm supposed to use to do the same thing the 50,000th time ?
Or be doing something with one hand like I always do, and suddenly feel like I'm doing it backwards ?

If this is interesting to you, then one quick story. So I was on my rounds for work, and on one front porch of one house, was an old box full of trash, and it was labeled, "tax papers".... But I looked at it.... then looked closer... and for the first time in my life, did I see, someone elses handwriting that looked like mine... not just close, > but spot freaking on !
So the guy comes to the door, we take care of business, at which point I asked about the handwriting on that box, telling him it looked just like mine..... He replied something like, "Oh, he was so sorry, if my writing looked like his"
So I tell him, well yea, but you know, I was born strongly left handed, and forced to be right.... and he looked straight at me and said > "So was I" !
Pretty trippy, huh ?
