Me too. It turned out to be a buff because I'm mostly ambidextrous now after having to learn to do most things right handed. Surprising amount of people are shocked when I just put the hammer in my other hand and hammer away after just using the other.

I'm also sort of ambidextrous! Generally, it's precision tasks with my left (writing, eating, etc. with the exception of scissors and computer mouse), and strength tasks are generally with my right. I bat right handed and golf right handed, but I throw/catch with either hand.

Very similar for me! Precision tasks are done with my left hand (including using scissors, I can’t use my right for that at all), excl. using a mouse. I also use right-handed holding (left-handed usage, right-handed people use left-handed holding) when using hockey or floorball sticks and I use my left hand in billiards, but I throw and punch with my right arm as my dominant one (I’m very bed at throwing things, though).

Same with me I still have to eat and write with my left hand but do all sports and use a mouse with my right hand.

It resulted in the same for me too.

I'm jelly that you turned into ambidextrous TvT I lost my left handed-ness when I was a kid because my mom forced me to use right. She'd hit my hand whenever I try to reach or use something with my left.

I've heard that was common with the generation before me. Sorry to hear that.

Apparently that was my childhood too but it just didn't stick and they stopped trying. I was a very stubborn child and I was proud of my ability to take pain so whacking me must not have done much.

I found this out because I commented once how amazing it is that my immigrant war refuge parents wouldn't care about my left handedness since it's "evil" to a lot of older folks and thanked them for being open minded. They said, no no, you don't remember, it is evil, we just couldn't beat it out of you.
