RE: LEFT-HANDERS.....are the facts and myths true?

in #science5 years ago (edited)

@towjam I am a lefty. I recall the days in primary school when teachers used to force me to use my right hand(am sure they dont do that anymore) but I would switch hands whenever they were not looking. I then became ambidextrous because of this. But as I got older and had a voice I eventually managed to settle into my natural hand usage and felt more confident about making sure I was not forced into being right handed.

Even when I went to further my studies in architecture, ridiculously there were no left handed drawing machines available and i started and entire group to advocate for left handed machines. Which in hindsight may have helped all lefties from then on out.

For my first year i had to switch my hands when drawing plans and had them crossed over in some weird awkward attempt to draw with right hand machines.

This i know may sound crazy today but yes it was how thing were in those days. Lol. Great post. 😊🤚🏽 ps just realised there isn't even a left handed high five emoticon lol🤣

LOL!!! The emoji comment has me laughing!
Yeah i think that was part of the point I was making in the post, that perhaps its the difficulty of being in a right handed world that makes the lefties develop more....walking up a hill will make you stronger than walking on a downhill.
I kinda hoped one of my kids would be a leftie, but alas it was not to be.

Glad you say most of those issues are sorted for you now....including left golf clubs perhaps?

Yip. I think there is certainly more consideration and less stigma to being lefty. Maybe your next baby will be lefty. Keep trying. You never know. Lol😬🤚🏽
