I am a left handed and its awkward being born this way and living in right handed world.Some people say they are gifted,intelligent and innovative but I'm not that smart and neither have a high IQ.I have some friends which are lefthanded and they can write and use chop stick with both hands.I can say there is no perfect human in this world.

I don't think it matters whether you are right-handed or left-handed. In fact, some are both. My daughter started kindergarten and was using both hands to write. She had a great penmanship with both, but was forced to make a choice, so she chose her left hand. She has a beautiful handwriting and she writes with her left just like a right-handed person, which is unusual, I think. Most left-handed people turn their hand around.

I was born left handed but they forced me to be right handed. How did I know. Since I can remember I have a hard time distinguishing my left hand from my right hand. Ask me now to raise my right hand and it will take me some seconds before I raise it. I will picture myself facing east to know where my right hand is. When we ride cabs I find it hard to give direction to the cab driver. I only found out that I am a let handed person last year. My kid will begin schooling then and we are conscious on what hand will he use. I ask my mom if we have a history of left handed and told me that I was actually a left handed person. Now i am stuck with my right hand and confusion on left and right.

My son is left handed and is probably gifted, intellignet and innovative, but he doesnt really live up to his potential. I ope some day he will do this. I think that he is not extremely proficient with his verbal skills, but he is a really excellent mechanic and invents things on the spur of the moment. He is a designer at heart.

I am right-handed. They also say that left-handed people are more artistically inclined. Do you play any kind of music? Do you like to create things? Maybe you have some hidden talents you have not discovered yet.

hey I'm left handed too. Nothing wrong with it. I'm not super intelligent but I'm also not dumb. But i can say Im better than average. Your right brain controls your left half and vice versa. I find it perfectly normal to be left handed. But its kinda weird sometimes too look at someone write in their left hand coz I'm so sued to seeing right handed people all my life. Seems u look at us lefties as `defected` Come on man! Be happy you're different! I don't regret it even a single bit!.

I am a lefty also. I eat and write with my left hand and I bowl with my left hand. But, I pretty much do almost everything else right handed. I cut my food and use scissors right handed. I think I do most other stuff right handed too.

There are no perfect human! I don't even think that perfect human is exist. Most of the people probably achieve a lot of goals in thier lives but I'm sure they still have thier weaknesses! I agree a lot of people are gifted! I don't understand why you feel that way for being a left handed. I am a right handed and there are times that I tried to use my left hand for writing and eating and it doesn't seem to work the way I wanted it.

I'm right handed but I actually do want to learn writing/doing anything that my right hand can do. I guess for contingency purposes in case something happens to my right hand.

Some people really focus on whether others are right or left handed, but I don't see that it matters. You are who you are. It doesn't matter if you're not smart, life is about more than being clever. If you come across people who fixate on your handedness and intelligence then it's them who need to worry about things, not you. I'm a righty myself, but I'm learning to write with my left hand. Not really sure why though, just figured it might be usefull if I ever break my right wrist or anything.
