Has anyone else had a time when being left handed put them at a disadvantage?
Mine was last year at a woodworking course, in an outdoor shed. We had to do it the rough way with knives and axes, carving and whittling is so frustrating. I was the only left handed person there, after a few sessions of lop sided angles, cuts too thin or thick or not straight, trying to do it with my right hand, the instructor doing it for me, I had enough and quit. That experience put me off the subject for good.
Sometimes I curse being left handed as writing is uncomfortable and sometimes messy and scissors won't always cut.
I also heard myths that left handed people are supposed to be more creative but that is a comforting lie.
