    Lefties--where are you

    Anyone else out there left-handed? Just curious to see....

    Do you favor you left hand for most things like sports etc. or are you just as capable with your right-hand for most everything?

    Personally, I write and eat left-handed and can do most sports with either but, seem to be better as a south-paw. Strange thing is I brush my teeth only right handed....must have been taught that way as a kid I guess and it stuck

    I'm left-handed, too, and use that hand mainly, except when I use a mouse, I use my right hand, or use the touchpad on my laptop!
    Do you sleep on your left side as well?

    I am a righty (at least for writing), but I do mostly everything else lefty.
    Can only drink from the water bottle with my left hand.
    Clip out left side first. Get on bike from left side.
    Drink coffee and other beverages with left hand.
    Can kick a ball equally well with either foot.
    My left side is generally stronger. I have better vision in my left eye.
    I have a lot of difficulty cornering right on the bike, but left never has been an issue.
    I sleep on my left side, too.

    Think my laterality is messed up?

    lefty. my dominant foot, hand and eye all left.
    I did learn to play the violin (not very well) with the "normal" position, righty.
    I married a lefty.
    we brought 2 right-handed children into the world. they were both traumatized like lefties are in normal families. They'd never used right handed scissors until they went to school..
    I think my right arm is pretty strong because I pack things with it while I do the fine motor skills with the left hand (like putting the key into the door)

    I'm fairly ambidextrous. I write with my right, and snowboard the "regular" way, but my left ear (phone) and my left eye are dominant. So when I took archery, I had to use the bow with my left hand. I'm more comfortable breathing on my left side while swimming, and I sleep on my left side.

    My dad's a leftie but he was forced to write with his right hand while growing up.
