View submission: Some questions for the left-handed people

Don't. Using your less dominant hand against your brains schooling fucks with everything. Instead of your hand communicating with the specialized half of your brain the less skilled half of your brain will ask the skilled half for guidance how to do fine motor tasks. This is exhausting. It takes longer. It's the reason why lefties have more workplace accidents. It's a stupid mission and people will not be impressed if they notice at all. Is you truly want to surprise people, bake them a cake or remember their pets birthday.

"This is exhausting. It takes longer." Exactly. Doing something that's tedious is what excites me, it is what motivates me to do something not everyone does because I like getting an ego thrill out of it. And it's coool to be able to do things with your non-dominant hand. That's why I want to be ambidextrous, because it's fun. I've discovered nothing bad about training to be ambidextrous so far and it's been 11 months and there's nothing bad happening to me at all. I've only ever gotten headaches when I first started using my non-dominant hand with performing tasks, but they're gone now and I've built new neural pathways in my body and I do things WAY better with my non-dominant hand now.
