Title is misleading...

Being of the sinister persuasion, I have always had to cope with the foibles of being a lefty living in a right handed world. For the most part I just "suck it up" and deal with things like: never being able to use a fountain pen, suffering with serrated bread knives & scissors, etc...

But with things like musical instruments, sports equipment and especially magic, I quite easily adapt to using my off hand primarily without worrying to much about using my left hand, reversing instructions or whatnot.

I'm by no means "ambidextrous", but it's just been easier to just adapt and use my right hand than it would be to rewrite all instructions either physically or physically or in my head.

I'm one of those lefties who actually can use a fountain pen. I have always written with my hand hooked over the top of the line I'm writing. Never drags through the ink (looks awkward as heck to other people though).

same here

I grew up going to Catholic school at a time where they didn’t allow you to be left handed.

I am ambidextrous. With things like bow and arrow and firearms I HAVR to be left handed because I can’t see with my right eye. Golf I couldn’t afford left handed clubs when starting so I learned right handed. I can throw with either hand equally well, ( Or equally poorly.) I bowl right handed because the pocket was better defined on that side.

As for magic I have two set backs. First yes in left handed. Second I have a hand the approximate size Rhode Island. It makes it incredibly difficult to learn from books, which is why I generally don’t. I was fortunate that Charlie Schulien suffered from these problems as well, so could teach me.

Left handed is tough. Left handed and 6’5 and 285 really isn’t easy.

Many left handlers do write with the hand that way. I don’t. I remember when those erasable pens came out they were the same problem as a fountain pen!
