Anybody left handed/ ambidextrous?

Honestly, I'm not a lefty, I used my right hand to write most of the time but recently, I started to change. I want to start writing by left hand and moreover, to be ambidextrous. However, I don't know how to start properly, can anybody help me in order to master writing with left hand? And if my handwriting of the right hand is somewhat unintelligible, can my handwriting with left hand be more intelligible/ beautiful ?

  • If you are strongly handed, it is not at all easy to change [though people have done so following physical damage - the brain does seem able to adapt in these cases].

So what about people who are ambidextrous? Not to mention those who are naturally born, what about others who gained skills through practice?

I wonder if people hold pens in left hands as the same position and pose as in right hands?

And how do you called people who are

a) right handed

b) left handed

c) ambidextrous

?

How a person holds a pen depends on the way in which they are taught, and their own physical motility. You will instinctively try to hold something the same way in either hand [given that there is no physical deformity].

People who are ambidextrous generally use one or other hand to write with. There have been well documented cases of such people being able to write with both hands at o

I mean, people who are left handed called lefty, whereas right handed named righty, so how about ambidextrous?

I am left handed but i can write with my right hand (just a little slower). But i brush my hair, throw things, stir, and drink with my right hand.
I use my right foot for kicking and stopping the ball in soccer.
My right eye is dominant (i use it more).
The only things i really do with my left hand is eating and writing.
Does that mean im lefty, righty or ambidextrous?

We are similar. I am in a state of confusion as well. I am refered to as a lefty. I write and throw with my left hand and my left eye is dominat. However there are somethings I must do with my right side it just feels more comfertable. Also, overall my right hand feels stronger and now, I have come to wonder exactly what I would be considered. I think though that this right side preference (for m
