Are You Left-Handed?

occasionalrain — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 02:49:32 GMT

I recently read that only nine percent of the population is left-handed. I found it interesting because my grandfather, both my brother and sister, my nephew and my husband are all left-handed.

Leonardo Da Venci was left-handed too. Are there left-handed members in your family?

My dad, sister and son were all.left-handed. Dad made a big deal out of it and loved to tease people he met about it. It was like a bond between them.

Another south paw here. There is no history of left handed people in my family. Guess I broke the mold! LOL!

@Frenchlop

My husband and I write with our wrists bent over the paper top-down. Do you do that? Also, we both print a lot better than we write cursive.

@occasionalrain I recently heard that everyone is born right-handed and only the exceptionally gifted overcome it.

My husband is left handed and is an exceptional musician and very handy.

My father, who was born right--handled, had an accident that left his right hand permanently disabled, went on to become a skilled optician and wrote with his left hand beautifully.

Me! I had a hard time learning how to tie my show laces. And how to cut hair back when I thought I wanted to be a hair stylist. I always thought I was COOL though because I was the only one. And then I looked into itt and found all the famous left handed folk, When I was in 5th grade, the substitute teacher tried tdo change me. How dare she!! She was a real witch.

Those who are left-handed seem to be artistic, musical. I wonder if there's a higher percent of musicians who are left-handed.

@Malcontent I don't write with my hand bent over, but my printing is way better than my cursive!

Hi Malontent! I write just a little bit slanted to the left just as right handed people slant their hand slightly to the right. I print and write equally well.

Both my brother and sister would agree with that.

I love that Enufstuff! I knew there was a reason I was born left handed!

The same thing happened to me ritasNo1Fan. I had a teacher when I was in grade school who tried to force me to write with my right hand. "It's a right handed world" she said. I continued to write with my left hand.

@AnimalMom

My husband’s cursive is nice. My cursive is basically chicken scratch. lol I do print well and only because my father taught me to print in calligraphy with India Ink.
