Do You Think Left-Handed People Look Awkward?

no, left-handed people are just the same as right-handed people... my boyfriend is left-handed and he's just as normal as everyone else... i have also other left-handed friends and one thing i noticed is that most of them have bad handwritings, they're still readable though...

I don't any left handed people look any different then those who are right handed. Now you have me wondering what a person who is ambidextrous like myself look like or how we are portrayed by the general public. This I found on this website: http://www.linkshaender-beratung.de/english/Ambidextrous.htm "Ambidexterity is therefore neither a goal to aspire to nor is it a gift from God. Instead, it is first and foremost the mark of brain damage."

I'm left handed. I only have trouble with scissors. Left handed people are creative, artist and entertainig! It usedto be seen as a sign of evil but I know it's a sign of being able to see into thhe magical world. My dad had his hand tied to his chair to make him write with the corect hand, how awful is that? It's good to play tennis left handed, my cross-court backhand as a teenager was an instant point winner. Don't worry about common righties, us rarer lefties are specially gifted!

No. So you write with your left hand. Big deal. I don't understand why it would look so strange. People have nothing else better to talk about. Don't worry about them.

nah i don't think they look arkward my sister is left handed tho when i was younger i did laugh at her and say your spastistic but that was a joke i used to mess with her about, although she is very clever!

my husband only writes with his left hand, everything else he does right handed. Oddly enough though he can't write with his right hand. His mom can write beautifully with both left and right. Strange family I married into huh?

My grandson, my mother and my father are all left handed. So I am sued to seeing it and it does not look awkward to me at all. I think some poeple think it is awkward because it is different than what they are used to seeing, but I think left handed people in general are very smart...it is just they think differently because the othe side of the brain is dominant.

My 7 year old daughter is left handed, I do find teaching her how to use scissors and things like that are awkward for me because I am right handed, I sometimes think that the way she holds her pen is awkward, but I would never say someone who is left handed is a "spastic" or retarded.

my husband is left handed, i think lefthanders are more creative ppl and they seem to be able to use their right hand very well, while righthanded ppl cant use thier left hands so well.

i like your style,i too am left handed and a good job to, as i am useless with my right hand,my parents tried their darnest to try and make me hold my knife and fork properly but didnt succeed although out of five of us i was the only one who was left-handed, i have eight grand-children and only one left-handed one out of all of them

i dont think left-handed people look awkward how can u say that if anyone left-handed he is awkward?

Yup,agree with that,I`m also left-handed person and I don`t shy people call me weird,left-handed person is smart and better in Maths (since I now becoming Maths Teacher).So lefthanded person there,don`t shy and feel more uncomfortable,think you all the special one :P

My dad is left handed and I don't think he looks awkwards at all - there is nothing wrong with being left handed!!

No ,left handers dont look awkward.. Infact left Handers r known to be Smart,Sharp and clever than the right handers.. Yov, the left handers may be slow in responding but ur barins r much shaper.....

its not only left handed people that look awkward these days it is also the way the young ones hold a pen these days, they seemed to wrap there whole hand around a pen like as if they think someone is going to steal the pen from them....has anyone noticed this....

My brother in law is left handed and we always give him a hard time - in love of course! He's always trying to not bump the person sitting next to him at the table and it's funny to watch him be so concious about it.

quite rite i agree wid u here....u left handers at time look very awkward but i do understand dat u have ur own ways 2 manipulate ur work in ur own sweet ways...

It does look a little awkward for instance when a left-handed person is writing something down. To us righties, it is different to see someone using the other hand as their dominant hand. I recently broke the middle finger on my right hand and writing with the left hand was totally out of the question, it just wouldn't work. I had to do my best with my right hand and it was a real challenge.

You have my understanding but not my sympathy. I am naturally right handed but had a BAD fall that did serious damage to my right shoulder and arm last month. I had to use a completely untrained left hand to do everything for a couple of weeks and I am still limited as to what I can accomplish with my right hand. If you think people look at you strange, you ought to see them look at me shifting things back and forth just to get money out of my wallet and then actually reach out and hand it to them or accept change back. Since I am no longer wearing a sling there is no OBVIOUS physical problem for them to see. So while I understand your problem, I am not sympathetic, you have had your entire life to learn how to function in a right handed world.

was Bill Clinton retarted? he did become presidens of America didn't he? It's all about the size of the right part of the brain..if its bigger u're left handed and so on :P I had to endure a lot of beatings from my preschool teacher just because they wanted everyone to look the same...They still joke sometimes when they see me writing with my left hand.. i guess its just the way people respond to diversity.
