Left or right?
I am actually ambidextrous, but I was born right handed. I had to learn to be left handed after a kendo accident that broke my right forearm in 3 places, I had my whole arm and hand in a cast for about 2 months and I couldn't move my fingers. Pro tip, you wear armor for a reason so don't jump in front of a crazy mother swinging an shinai using your bare arms to stop her... very bad idea lol.

Born left handed but change to right early on because when I was young my old sister said left handed people get hit with rulers when they go to school.

Holy ****, that sounds painful.
I'm left-handed and I actually really like the way it sounds saying that in portuguese, "canhoto" or "sinistromano". In Latin, "sinister", I'm associated with evil. 😲

Left-handed, though there are things I do only with my right hand (like playing guitar or holding scissors). Though most of the things (except for writing/drawing) I can do with the right hand, too.
I wonder.. it any of the left-handed people there had the same problem while learning to write - when I was little I would write "mirrored" letters and words? (Still able to write smoothly like that)

Right-handed.
Well, I guess you could say that I'm ambidextrous since I can do pretty much everything from drawing to using chopsticks with my left hand.
Except for writing lol 😛

I...
Well, I instinctively protect my body with my left. As a kid, I naturally wanted to use my left in sport-like activities, but I grew up in that hazy time where teachers didn't really diagnose such things properly and forced me to use my right.
As a result, I currently use my right hand to write, throw, or whatever, but anything I do with my right is rather sloppy. My mother is a lefty, and to this day, she insists that I'm left-handed, and I believe her.
As a small kid, I ate with my left, wanted to throw with my left, wanted to write with my left... basically, I wanted to use my left. In retrospect, I don't know why my Mom didn't actively pursue my hand orientation, since she was in the same boat as me. But, I guess I don't press it because she suffered the same things I did...
She throws with her right, cuts things with scissors with her right, and otherwise uses her right hand for things she wasn't taught to use her left. She's a lefty to the core, but does a lot of things with her right hand because she simply wasn't taught how "as a lefty".
Anyway, my right hand is the one I use, but I certainly learn faster with my left. So I guess, my right is stronger than my left, but my left is smarter...
...if that makes any sense.

I love left-handed people!
I wish I was, but I'm right-handed. The only thing I can do left-hand orientated is putting in my contacts. Just can't seem to do it with my right-- it doesn't feel right.

I am left handed but I can never seem to dribble or do anything sports related with my left hand. I only use my left hand to draw and write but it's kinda strange.. 😐

It wasn't really that bad... the painful part was about a month after I got the cast, and the itching began. You know no pain like an unbearable itch that you physically can not reach to scratch.

Right-handed. But I practiced using my left hand for writing and it was okay. It's just for writing though.

Left.
Just today I had someone stare at me when I was writing. Ugh. It really pisses me off when people ask ''how do you do that?" or something along those lines.
Btw I too used to have a problem distinguishing left and right as a kid, but a bump on a finger on my left hand (it happens because I write with too much pressure) helped me differentiate.
I give up. I see not point in living if I can't be beautiful.
