The struggle for left-handed people like me is that you always meet tools made for right-handed people. So you have to use the right hand more like right-handed the left. This makes left-handed people more ambidextrous. Scissors are always in my right hand. As a kid I tried to learn writing with both hands at the same time, worst idea ever but it works a little bit.

Btw. Mental arithmetic is the endboss for left-handed. So don't say left-handed are more successful.

Okay, I suppose in the future I'll do better to check my privilege. But what does mental arithmetic have to do with handedness?

Idk, but I am left handed and very bad at mental arithmetic, so based on that anecdotal evidence it checks out I think

I'm left-handed and really good at it

Did you visit a school in the eastside of the world?

[–] Sekoia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

Nope, western Europe.

Handedness has some "connections" to the use of the brain sides. One side is better for doing math and I suppose its not the one mostly used by left-handed people.
