[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) I’m left-handed but I use my right hand for mousing and cutting. That’s never been a problem for me. On the other hand, (ha) I actually only use my left hand to write and to eat. For nearly everything else I use my right. EDIT: apparently I discovered this morning I also use my left hand to shave. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Servais@discuss.tchncs.de [S] 2 points 2 years ago Interesting, thanks for sharing! permalink fedilink source parent [–] hamsammy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago I do things very similar! Write, eat, pull open doors and drawers with my left. However I grab and carry, use scissors, wipe, use a mouse, and brush my teeth with my right. Anything else is literally either hand. This is actually called mixed-handed and I find it to be so much more useful rather than restricting myself to one handed living - I can scroll using a mouse wheel with my right as I take handwritten notes with my left. Once you start to see your ability as not being restricted by your hand choice I think you may find this fact about yourself to be super cool and unique as well as highly useful! permalink fedilink source parent
