Just finished drawing whole illustration with my left hand and I feel like my brain is on fire lol

[thewhygodyt]

I’m learning this so I can make my teacher go crazy by writing with each hand each day

[gam]

About 2 years ago i began writing left-handed. I do it almost every day. I still need to take my time when i write, but i am improving. I recently began throwing left-hand. It's slow, but i see progress. I heard the phrase " it's all in the wrist " and i agree, even when writing.

When my right hand is tired of drawing at least I have a left hand

Tried to drive with non dominant hand today, instructions unclear. 2.5 dead, 12 injured. I'll be off the grid for the next couple months so I should have an excess of time to train my non dominant hand! Thanks!

I've been writing with my left hand for 2 weeks and I can write decently fast with it, now I have some teachers asking whether I'm right handed or left handed. Then I switch to the other arm when I tell them which of my hands are dominant

[kyoza]

looked this up because I'm trying to improve my timing on drums to match my right, definitely helped

[AlphaFlight]

I've been welding 9yrs with my dominant right hand. And for about 3 months now. I started using my left hand.

[eyo]

I don't know why some people here in the comments say that you're weird. But maybe I'm also just weird. I'm typing this with my non dominant hand btw :)
I'm not bored but I want to train the small muscles of my non dominant body side, they just aren't as strong as my other side, because I don't use them in my everyday life.

[Say-gexxx]

I love being left-handed but I really wanna write with both hands because then I can use right handed scissors without discomfort

[SkylarVermillion]

I started learning sign language with my non dominant hand as a personal experiment kinda and it's blossomed into me slowly doing other things with it and every time i practice something using my "weaker" hand....my brain feels like how mybody does after a run: tired but worth it

I have rheumatoid arthritis, which is painfully affecting my wrists (of course) but especially my dominant hand- right one. So in case my right wrist swells up and is unusable, I don't have much of a choice but to learn to use my lefty. And another thing, I'm a student of graphic design major, so I NEED to use my hand a lot.

[rajeshsart]

I'm lefty but I have learned naturally to use right-handed tools and some activities like using scissors and mouse.

Im an artist and i have health issues with my dominant hand. Ive been increasingly worried about losing the mobility someday, so its time to learn with my left. Hopefully i can get this to work

[stephlala]

I'm doing a page of practicing letters and shapes and my head hurts 😭. As an artist, I think this would help me get better at seeing things more effectively.

[Chokoboh]

Picking my nose is a delicate process that requires a certain degree of precision to not hurt myself in the process.
That's what i trained my left hand with.
Writing is something else though.
I always hated writing with a pen, even with my dominant hand.

I'm watching this because of basketball and somehow want to train my non dominant hand for dribbling and ball handlings, I hope it helps

[moeedeng]

I tried driving my car with my left foot accelerator and brake its difficult but it works as well

[sircruz]

My teacher told me only a few people can be ambidextrous, which really intrigued me and now I want to learn this skill, wish me luck!

[mbrotherssanmateo]
