Are You Left Handed Or Right handed

I write with my right hand but do everything else with my left. Both my parents were left-handed- I believe my father had his left hand tied behind his back to make him use his right hand when he was at school.

I dont think it matters at all. I write with my right hand, but pour, iron, and vacuum with my left hand. I do whatever feels natural.

I am right handed. My Mum who is 90 is left handed. She says when she was at school she had her knuckles rapped when using her left hand!

It shouldn't matter at all should it!

I don't know for certain which I am.

When it comes to writing, I always use my left hand.
For things like knitting, using cutlery or a can-opener, I am right-handed.
When decorating, I swap the paintbrush from one hand to the other, depending on the angle of the thing I am painting.

I grew up doing almost everything else with my left hand, but as an adult have changed to doing some of them, such as playing racquet sports, with my right hand!

The thing is, I fell and injured my right arm very badly when I was only two-and-a-half years old. Apparently, even after the plaster, and then the sling, were removed, I simply wouldn't use it for about six months, so did absolutely everything with my left hand.

However, my mum says that I was showing clear signs of being left-handed before the accident, which makes it all the more odd that I have changed to doing so much more with my right hand as an adult!

In school, I only ever had one teacher who tried to make me write with my right hand (when I was six), but the results must have been bad enough to convince her that it wasn't worth the effort, as she only made me try the once!

Left handed, but like most left handers, do many things right handed as Life is mainly geared up for right handers!

I'm right handed

My left handed Nephew used to be forced to write with his right hand at school. He is only 43 now, so not that long ago

I'm right-handed but my left arm and hand is the stronger.

I am right handed but eat with the knife in my left hand. I use a spoon in my right hand.
As has already been said it really doesn't matter.

Lefty here!

Children should not be either forced or encouraged to be right-handed. Most teachers nowadays would not do this. I think the proportion is roughly 1:5, left:right. When I was teaching in FE, I was sent to replace an absent teacher with a small group of vocational students. I gave them something to write and was astonished to see all seven of them writing left-handed. I suspected a trick, but it wasn't!
I am right-handed, my sister left-handed. She has a left-handed grandson and so have I, though DGD1 is pretty well ambidextrous. Is left-handedness associated with artistic talent?

...but it all depends on what I'm doing IYKWIM ???

What on earth would you be eating when using a knife in your left and spoon in your right hand?
What about eating in restaurants or dinner parties?

I'm right handed, as was my dad but my mum was left handed. I have one Right handed son and one left handed son. Their dad is right handed.

Left.....exactly the same as MamaCaz except for the broken arm, but I can also write with my right hand too,

Left handed , my parents told my school I was not to be
encouraged / expected to write with my right hand.

Both parents ,my five siblings and 18 first cousins ,my daughters and grandchildren ,9 nieces and nephews all right handed

I’m r-handed as is dh. Both our dd’s are left-handed, one of them much more so than the other.

One son was ambidextrous as a young child but is now r-handed. Other son is r-handed but plays sport left-handed.

Right handed.

When DS2 han't chosen his handedness by the age of about 5, I encouraged him to be right-handed. DD gave me a right telling off [she was only 7!], I replied that life was hard enough without being left-handed. He also turned out to be very dyslexic, so in a sense I was right!

PS I had a first cousin who was LH, as was her husband. they had 5 children, every last one was RH!!!

I'm left handed and no-one at school tried to change that and I'm 71!!

I do lots of things right handed as the world is mostly right handed.

I'm right handed, but lots of left handed people in the family, including one of our sons. It was interesting to see Barak Obama, sign papers, he was often filmed doing that, it was quite apparent he was left handed, my son has exactly the same mode of writing, as I imagine many do of the left handed persuasion, it looks so difficult it didn't hold my son back in anything where dexterity is required, handwriting, art and plays the guitar well. I believe many musicians and artists such as Leonard de Vinci are and were left handed.

I am right handed but for the life of me can only iron with my left hand for some reason. Don’t know where that’s come from.

I started off left handed but it was firmly discouraged at my (catholic) primary school.

Apparently an evil angel sat on our left shoulder and a good one on our right so stopping left handedness was the obvious thing to do.

I am still more accurate at throwing balls with my left hand.

I'm left handed but do quite a few things (scissors, knife and fork etc ) the right handed way.
I'm in my late 60's and only recently realized that when writing, lefties push the pen along the page whereas right-handed people pull which is a lot easier!

Left. Never used left handed scissors. I don’t think they were around when I was at school. Use knife and fork in correct hands, Fork in left. Ambidextrous when playing tennis and hopeless at things like archery where you have to close one eye. Also left footed
My Dad was left handed. He had a dreadful stutter when he was at school. Product of being made to write with his right hand .
