Are you ambidextrous?

Not really. Predominately left handed, but had to learn to do some things with my right hand in nursing. It is indeed a right handed world.

When I broke my left wrist, I had to be fed, as I cannot hold a fork or spoon in my right hand.

Here is Sydney, down at a place called The Rocks, there is a shop that sells Left Handed articles.
 
Yet another thing we have in common OS! I am ambidextrous...probably because they tried to make me a write with my right hand when I was in my early grammar school years. That didn't turn out so well, at least not for them. So I write (color, do artwork), eat and brush my teeth with my left hand but do everything else with my right.

@C50 Based on what you replied, I think you could be considered ambidextrous.

I am in a strange way. I can write forward with my right hand while writing backward with my left hand....mirror image, and the cursive pretty much matches. I do it pretty fast, too.

I can write forward with my righthand and write backward with my right without using a mirror, then I put a mirror up to the writing and it comes up the right way. We seem to be quite talented.

@oscash Are you sure we're not twins? And did you mean using your left hand when writing backward? If you do both with your right hand then you have me beat!
 

Are you ambidextrous?​


I suppose in many ways I am.

I can wink with both eyes.

Chew on both sides of my mouth.

Pick my nose superbly with fingers on both hands.....

and get this..... I can still count to 20. šŸ˜Š
 
I'm a lefty eat& write with left hand ,can't throw a ball too far with right but other things I do better righthanded:
bat, catch ,kick a ball, always have change in right pocket of my pants. When I walk downstairs, hang on to right side of railing
 
I was always dominant left. But I learned that using you non dominant hand actually builds new brain connections. I have MS so I am always looking for ways to improve my brain. Doing simple daily tasks with your non dominant hand builds new fresh pathways in your brain. So I use my fork with my right hand, write with a pen, and use a mouse on my right. Also drink with my right. Any daily habit task using you dominant hand travels through the brain on pathways you formed as a baby. Creating new pathways means new brain growth.
 
I am left handed, My parents were right handed, 7 siblings all right handed. My dad required I put my left hand behind me when we ate. Required to eat with right hand or go sit in living room without eating. He felt something was wrong with me, cause I did everything with my left hand. Crazy times! When I became an adult he asked, "Why couldn't you be like the others?" I said, apparently God wanted me to be different from the others. I have 2 right handed daughters, my oldest (boy) youngest (girl) both left handed, lol
 
Old thread but applicable. I can sign my name identically with either hand! Party trick. In sports I can switch back and forth depending. My dad was also ambidextrous. Maybe genetic?
 
Old thread, but thanks for bringing it back again. I write with my left hand but cut with scissors with my right hand. I throw a football or baseball with my left hand but dribble a basketball and play golf with my right hand. My father was right-handed and when I was a teenager I borrowed his golf clubs. Then the instructor told me I was out of luck because he was a left-handed golfer. Maybe it is indeed genetic.
 
Lefty for the most part, but had to adjust to certain things in this right handed world in order to get by.
