I'm either/or with my hands, it drives me nuts. I write with my right, bowl with my left, play guitar right-handed, play basketball left-handed, it goes on. The weird thing is I thought I was just shitty at some things until in my 20s I started mixing it up and realized some things just work way better when I go lefty
That’s so cool! Convenient that your right handed activities are things like instruments which would be a bit more expensive if you had to be a lefty haha
@nicengelman Do you wear glasses? If not, have you had your eyes checked? If so, is your prescription the same for both eyes?
Also, if my suspicion is correct you should also be better with left handed darts, tennis, and archery.
I suspect you may be right handed, but left eye dominant. This means you prefer to use your left eye. I have the same thing, most likely because I ser significantly better with my left eye, and I have my entire life. I do bowl right handed, but I am rubbish at it so maybe I've been doing it wrong. I write and do needle crafts right handed, but I play tennis left handed.
I wear glasses or contacts, my prescription is up to date. I don't think it's a vision thing. Back when I used to play tennis I was better right-handed, haven't tried darts or archery. Most of my needle work is to summon Malebolge to do my bidding
Huh. Interesting.
I knew a woman who printed with one hand but wrote cursive with the other. She did a lot of things with her left hand, but also a lot with her right. It seemed mostly to depend on how she did it when she first learned.

I became good with both of my hands when I injured my right hand, got put in a cast, and stayed there for three weeks. Had to do everything with my left hand and since then (it's healed) I can do mostly everything with my left hand. The hardest thing I had to relearn with my left hand was using my mouse.
I broke my right thumb, which never really heals right so I broke it again and again and I've spent probably more than a year with my right hand done up, so yeah, I learned to write with my left and all that but it's still better with the right hand

I dislocated my two right most Metacarpals from my carpels and when the doc relocated them, it was one of the worst pains I've felt. 8 to 12pm felt like a day.
Ow Jesus, that sounds like it must have been wonderful lol. I caught my thumb on a log that got caught on a crack in a huge brick oven, and it snapped it straight backwards into my arm.
When i have to use the stupid hand, I will put the object in the regular hand and then work out how to mirror it, switching until I’ve got it. I will never have the patience I did as a kid to teach that hand anything.
.
I'm terrible at writing with both though.
