I am jealous of the people who can write using left hand!

I am left handed, but i am envious of those who are right handed LoL. Primarily because most things in the world are set up to be more convenient to those who are right handed, as that is the prevailent dominant hand of most people in the world. It is not suprising to hear that children in your area are "forced" into using their right hands. This has been a long standing tradition in many many cultures, as the left side of body is considered to be the side of the body evil spirits favor. In fact, in latin, the word for left is Sinistra..which formed into the word sinister that we use today meaning ominous, evil, or bad. Luckily the tradion of focing children to use their right hands instead is slowly becoming a thing of the past (depending on what part of the world you live in) which is a good thing, as the hand you write with has to do with how your brain is "wired" and not with evil spirits. Children who are forced to write with the hand they are not comfortable with tend to develop learning difficulties in life.

Hi daliaj, I am left-handed but I have a terrible handwriting. At work I have three friends who are left handed, that makes us 4 in the office. My son started out as left-handed but we taught him to be right-handed because I don't want him to suffer the inconveniences that I experienced. I remember in classrooms in school we used armchairs, and the arm was always placed on the right side. So it was very difficult to write especially during exams. And there are some other things that are not just made for left-handed people.

My mom was left handed. She could write with her right hand as she was forced to learn that in school but did everything else with her left hand. She could also wright with both hands in mirror image- forward with one and backwards with the other. It was fun to watch. One of my brothers, my daughter, and a sister-in-law are left handed. I had to have my sister-in-law help my daughter with writing. She was a confirmed lefty even as an infant she would use her left hand to hold things. There must be something genetic as all of us righties have very similar writing and rather sloppy too. My lefty brother had the only decent handwriting in the family and it didn't look anything like the rest. I used to be jealous. Now he is in his 50's and recently developed some kind of nerve problem and can't use his left hand for much. Now I feel sorry for him.... If it is true that the motor nerves start out on the opposite side of the brain and cross over then left handed people are the only ones in their right mind lol.

Ironically, I can't write with a left hand but I can type with a left hand, LOL.. When I was young, I tried to write with my left hand, but to no avail. I think it's gifted for those whom can write with their left ones. However, I'm pretty contented with my right one for now..

I've always written with my left hand though I can if needs be use my right hand. I'm quicker and neater using my left. I don't know why it would make you jealous though, most cultures either in the past or in some places even today, frown on it! Left-handedness was thought to be a sign of the Devil, Evil and something a child did to be awkward lol. It's also quite awkward, as the normal way of writing is from left to right and you either smudge your work or can't see it properly. Some left-handers hold their arm above the work and the pen or pencil is held differently too. Forcing them to use the right could cause all sorts of problems and they now know it's how a persons brain works and is often an inherited trait. I have two left-handed siblings, the others are all right-handed. The number of people who are naturally left-handed is 10% of the population.

I am a right handed person and I get sometimes jealous seeing people who can write with the right hand. I have tried it but I have not been able to do it. I had a friend in college who was able to write with his both hands. I used to envy him a lot. I mean in exams he used to have advantages over other people as he could switch hands when one starts feeling bit pain. Why should he have such an advantage.

I am a right handed and I am not that jealous of people that are using left hand. I mean it is just the matter of dominant only. No doubt you can see most left handed people are creative people. I am not saying that right handed people are not creative but less than the left handed ones.

Why should you be jealous towards them?They can't use their right hands like us.Some people are born left handed and they should be allowed like that.I don't think there will be any force from the parents on right hand usage.Just they choose the right to start with because most of us are right handed.But if the child is seem to be a left handed,we should allow them.Cheers!

why jealous those people can write with left hand ? i used to write using left hand also during my primary school, but my mom 'forced' me to write using right hand. so now i am right-handed for writing, others activity i am using left hand. for mylotting, i am using both hand!

no, I can't, I am a little bit jealous of them too as you doing, I'd like to train my children to write use the right hand if I had.

I am a right hander and I am happy that I use my right hand for few tasks and left hand for few tasks...I pity left handers as they burden their left hand with most of the tasks..Right hand is least used in their case... It is good to guide the child to use right hand for writing...happy mylotting :-)

I am a lefty. I like being a lefty. But life's just not fair enough coz there were some things that are only made for the right-handed individuals and if ever I'm gonna use some of those things, my friends always tease me and laugh because its so awkward for them seeing me handling those. I really don't get it.. They said it looks so funny. For example, chopping, I'm holding the knife using my left hand, my family or my friends said that it's better if they will be the one to do the chopping coz it looks like im having a difficulty where in fact i didnt! grrrrrr...hehehehe

I'm left-handed. I can say that it has many, many downsides. You're more likely to smear words on paper, and tools and other things are generally designed with right-handed people in mind. No consideration's put into place for people who are dominantly left handed, which results in a few thousands deaths a year due to left-handed people using right-handed equipment (fact, though I can't give an exact on the number. try googling it if you're interested)

I can't right with my right hand but I can use my mouse with both. I do not even thing about it. It works like that. I come across using my left hand stiring a pot of meat sauce and need my right hand to get the other side of the pot. This way I can mix it better. I prefer to have both. Keep my mind synced.

I am right handed. I write with my right hand. However, I can also write with my left hand. I trained myself to do so. Though I cannot write as well, my brother make it. He can now write with either hand.

i am a left handed person. I write, eat and even wipe my (a) with my left hand. lol! Yes i too experience the non-inconvenient things or stuff at school. Though at our school they have special chairs that has the table attach at the left side of the chair. But i don't use it, because i feel like i am different. At that time i don't want to be different. If i'm gonna have children and if they were left handed. I would let them, i will not practice them to write or do stuff with right hand. Because i believe left handed person are creative ones! happy mylotting!

I'm a right hander but i admire those who use their left hand to write or in general do their routine job. They are supposed to be very creative as their right part of the brain is more active! And believe me these people have amazing handwriting too - WOW! One of my ex-boss was a lefty and i used to always stare at him and his hand whenever he used to write. Believe me, i have had embarrasing moments whe he would suddelnly look at me and i would be standing/sitting there admiring his left hand writing - LOL

Everyone can write with both hands provided we practice it. Most are right handers because it came naturally to us.Some people are by nature ambi- dexter meaning, they can use both hands effectively. We have two hemispheres in our brain. while the left hemisphere controls all activities of the right part of the body, and vice-versa. But most of us dont use the entire power of our brain, which is limitless. So it recommended, to improve the power of concentration and brain power, we have to practice writing with that hand which is not natural for us. So a left handed person, who is comfortable writing with his left hand must write a few pages with his right hand daily and vice- versa..thx

I am left-handed and when i was kid i tried to used my left hand to write but the result my handwriting was messy..it happened when i was about 5-6 years old,my mom forced me to write using my right hand. And when i was in elementary school, i used my right hand to write,but i still did my activities using my left hand,including playing piano and badminton. Now my mom realized that parents can`t force their children tu use their right hands after she finds out that the best friend of mine is left-handed in he`s talented in drawing and designing. He studied product design and now he creates toys for several stores. I suggest that parents with left-handed children take their children to music course.It is also my experience.My mom told me to take piano course so i could maximize the use of left hand.and it works..Left-handed or not,it will depend on how we can develop our potential

there is nothing to miracle it's just happens.kheyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
