Left-handers are more likely to be artists and musicians.

I come from a family of six, left-handed, intelligent, hilarious musicians and artists.

A creative problem-solver, I am organized and artistic. I play flute: jazz, blues and classical music. Am a lifelong Democrat, as are my siblings.

On the internet, I read that lefties die sooner than right-handed people on average. Why? Here's my theory:

1. Absorbing all that ink, dragging our left hand over the page.

2. Being curled up in those stupid, right-handed desks in school.

3. The world is set up for right-handers. (Try driving your car with your left hand.) A case in point:

Since I sew, I have expensive, left-handed pinking shears. But they cannot be sharpened, not even at the factory. All sharpeners are for right-handed shears.

I right lefty and throw righty. I do some things with one hand or the other, and some things with either hand. I guess I'm just a fucking mess, which may explain my messy brain, and an inability to focus for very long when it comes to most things.

i don't know many lefthanders, or i do and they haven't mentioned it (not necessarily hiding it -- it just hasn't come up). therefore i cannot speculate or generalize. i DO know that lefthanders have more right-brain activity and righthanders have more left-brain activity, so looking up what side of the brain controls what might be helpful. i can also say that i am not ambidextrous and am righthanded by the usual definition, which is that i use my right hand to write and handle such tools as forks and spoons, but on the other hand there are certain things i can ONLY do easily with my left hand, and yet other things i can do equally easily with either. i can further say i am pretty damned independent (and stubborn, some might say). i cannot attribute this independence or stubbornness to these anomalies of handedness, nor (on the other hand) say for sure they're not connected. what a longwinded way to say "i don't know!" i hope it was a tad helpful, nonetheless.

Look up Left handed People being on the right side of their minds. I forgot how the saying went but it went straight to the issue.

I am left-handed and share some of your traits, but not all. I have never felt conspired against by the world as a left hander or otherwise, because I have always seen myself as too small and insignificant to rate any conspiracies and see left-handedness as no different than my being tall, which is a function of genetics that gives me both advantages and disadvantages in the way the physical world is layed out. So being what you are physically just is what it is. No one is conspiring against you for minor things like that. Now, if I were disabled and in a wheelchair, that would be another matter as far as feeling the physical world is often designed without any consideration of your situation.

I'm right-handed, and I'm pretty much the same way.
I don't think which hand is the more dominant has anything to do
with it, but that's just me.
