Okay i have pretty much the most random question everrr..?
i have always wanted to be left handed. i dont know why, but i always thought it would be better to be left handed better than dominant in my right. anyway, since now i have summer vacation and a lot of extra time, is it possible to practice writing with my left hand and eventually become somewhat dominant in it? what do you think?
Additional Details
and i know that i will never become dominant in my left hand, i just would like to be ambidextrous to make it easier to do some things or to just see things and do things from a different perspective.

I'm lefthanded, but I can print legibly with my right hand and yes, it took a loooong time to teach my brain to be able to do that. Also practise painting and sketching with your left hand.

More lefties will die in accidents than righties. Why? Because we have trouble using things that were designed by righties for righties :o((((

You're born that way. You were born right handed, and you'll probably never be good at writing with your left hand. However, if you still want to learn, I have some tips.

When you write with your left hand, hold the pen the same way you hold it in your right hand.
It may be harder to right with your left hand because your arm/hand isn't used to the way you have to move your muscles when you write. (you'll see what I mean when you start).
When writing your letters, try reversing the way you write them. This may sound confusing, so I'll try to go into more detail. Say you are writing an "S". Usually, when you write with your right hand, you might start at the bottom tip of the S, then go up to the top tip. When writing with your left hand, maybe start with the top tip of the S and go down. This is because when you write, you either "push away" a letter or "pull it" towards you. It sounds confusing, I know.
Also, watch out for writing for long periods of time with a pencil, cause you'll get this dark mark on the side of your hand with you pinky finger.
You won't get perfect over night, because it took you years to write the way you are writing now.
Another suggestion I have is to get some Left handed writing paper, or a school children's book that teaches little kids that are lefties how to write correctly.

But all and all, being left handed isn't all that great.

the reason you're right handed is because your righ hand is very very slightly bigger than your left. so unless you can make your hand bigger from birth, no.

You could make it better but I don't think that you could ever become left handed in the sense that it's your dominant hand.

Was this answer helpful to you?  Yes  /  No

I doubt you'll ever become dominant with your left hand, though you could become very very good at using your left hand. I, myself, am left hand, however, I broke my left arm and couldn't use it for six months. So I had to learn how to do everything right handed. And while I can still do many things right handed, unless I really think about it, I switch back to my left hand.

Now I understand that that is a little bit different, because I don't want to be right handed. But you're dominant hand is the one that you're going to be most comfortable with. That's why you're body made you right handed.

Also, there are a lot of things in society that are aimed towards right handed people and not left handed people. As left handers we constantly have to learn to adjust what's comfortable to us because of the way the world favors right handers.

For instance: left handed scissors suck...it's easier to be right handed. Things that most people never really think about can be extremely difficult for a left handed person. Ladles are always designed for right handers, as well as coffee mugs, cork screws.

So, yes, you can learn to use your left hand very well, however, I don't think that you necessarily will ever become dominant in it, simply because your body wants you to be dominant with the right side.

It's very possible. Impossible is Nothing! Unfortunately for me, I was involved in an accident and had limited use of my right hand for about 9 months. For 6 months I ate, drank, and, practiced writing with my left hand. Happy to report that I play catch with my son, shoot baskets, write just as good with my left hand as I did my right. It can be done, but, it's not easy.

people are only 'one brained'. you are either a left brained person (more logical) or a right brained person (more creative). This can be figured out based on which hand you right with. Its the opposite in which your hand is... ie if you right with your right hand you're left brained and vice versa. Thus, you brain isn't meant to think that way if you're naturally a righty. I wouldn't recommend it and just be dominant in the way you were born.

yes i tried it too and it works.very doable
the brain learns whatever u practice quite enough and often. its just another skill like typing.
and learning new skills is a way to beat aging and keep our brains active as the activity builds a lot of new synapses which provides us with a reserve when we begin to notice the loss of our neurons later in life.

Was this answer helpful to you?  Yes  /  No



Brianne
They say if you are right handed it's cause you mostly use or think with the left side of your brain and the same in reverse. You can absolutely practice and probably get quite well with it but your right hand will always be your natural choice.

Not an odd question at all.

it's definately possible. someone i know, who was right handed, broke their right arm and had to write with their left hand until it healed. they got good at it and they were ambidextrous.

Was this answer helpful to you?  Yes  /  No



Flutter
That's great. Actually, if you practice drawing also, you'll be able to exceed the skill you previously had with your right hand because you'll be making new synaptic pathways in your noggin, instead of using old, bad ones. Yippee for ambidextrous people!

i was only left handed till i started playing basketball. my coach had given me some practice to improve my right hand back then. i guess it might work on you too.

in the begining your brain will not allow you to use your other hand. resist it no matter how weird it feels.


so with your left hand:

brush your teeth (helps a lot)
use fork and spoon but be carefull
open doors
[you can extend the list]

the idea is try to do everything vice versa.


also:

clap your hands in the other way(right shall remain still)
cross your arms in the other way(tricky)
tie your shoe laces the other way(master class)

and when you feel ready, try to write.

although you can use your other hand for almost anything i guess it is not possible to dominate it. at least on me...
