I’m right-handed but I mostly use my left for things like opening doors, picking up stuff, using phone, holding food… and my right hand for things that requires fined dexterity like writing, using utensils, using keys… My friends see me using my left-hand most of the time and kept asking me why I barely use my right hand. Some people who met for the first time actually thought that I’m left-handed for some reason.

Is it really that weird to not use your dominant hand as much? I’m sure I’m not born left-handed and trained to be right-handed when I was small, I’ve been right-handed for as long as I can remember.

      I’m the same way, but it started as a kid when riding my bike I couldn’t go one-handed on the handlebars with my right but could with my left. It’s like the left is steadier but less dexterous.

      Never actually thought about that, but your totally right… I too drive with my left… Allthough I’m not sure if that’s because of the transmission cars I drove until I got my Tesla 3 years back or just because I can rest my arm on the door while holding the wheel.
