I used to be ambidextrous as a kid and when one hand got sore writing I’d flip to the other. I think that makes good sense, but teachers made me only use my right hand. 🙄

Becoming ambidextrous was another form of masking. We adapt to fit the world because the world doesn't fit us, but then we spend our whole lives struggling and stressed and feeling like outsiders.

I've always been 1000% convinced my little sister should have been left-handed. As a child she didn't understand how to hold silverware properly and she was forced to learn. As an adult

My grandfather had his hand tied in school and it made him stutter. When he was able to write with his left hand, the stutter went away.

I started out left-handed, went to a small private Christian school and they made sure I became right handed. Usually by smacking my hand with a stick I can use either hand, but better with my right
