Once upon a time I read a statistic that said left-handed people were more successful than righties so I taught myself to write and do all sorts of things left-handed. I'm still a fuckin loser but at least now I'm ambidextrous, so take whatever lesson you want from that
The struggle for left-handed people like me is that you always meet tools made for right-handed people. So you have to use the right hand more like right-handed the left. This makes left-handed people more ambidextrous. Scissors are always in my right hand. As a kid I tried to learn writing with both hands at the same time, worst idea ever but it works a little bit.
Btw. Mental arithmetic is the endboss for left-handed. So don't say left-handed are more successful.
Okay, I suppose in the future I'll do better to check my privilege. But what does mental arithmetic have to do with handedness?
Handedness has some "connections" to the use of the brain sides. One side is better for doing math and I suppose its not the one mostly used by left-handed people.
Idk, but I am left handed and very bad at mental arithmetic, so based on that anecdotal evidence it checks out I think
I'm left-handed and really good at it
Well that comtradicts my worldview so I am going to block you I think
That's okay
Did you visit a school in the eastside of the world?
Nope, western Europe.
