If you are not left handed will it be hard to use left hand?

Hi, Cairalyssa, I think that everything depends on the situation. I'm left handed and I when I was a little girl I started to write with my left hand. But in those years it was a common opinion that you should use your right hand. Nobody knew that it can be harmful for a kid to force him or her to change the writing hand. So I learned to write with my right hand and now I can't reverse this. But I use knives or scissors only with my left hand!

Hey there cairalyssa, Sorry to hear about your hand I hope it heals soon, my opinion on what you said is practice makes perfect if he has been doing this for a long time then your friend is very well trained to use his hands. Ive always wanted to be able to use both hands in writing and other technical stuff that our hands use, get well soon!

As far as I am concerned, right handers think that if us south paws loose the ability of our left hand, we can suddenly use our right hand with no trouble at all. But we cannot. Even for people who are slightly ambidextrous, we will find it hard to write, and may not be able to lift up things as easily. If you are truly right handed, you will need a lot of effort to train to use your left, and you will be thinking right handed all the time. So it will take a while. And writing will be harder.

Last month this day, I sprained my right wrist and for the next 10 days had trouble using my right hand and I can say that it sucks not being able to use the dominant hand. Still, I had fun using my left hand whether to eat, bath, change clothes, wash the dishes (this was funny as only my left hand was soaping and watering the plate). It's not hard but not easy either.

Practice, practice, practice. All your life you've been right handed. Now you have train you brain to use you left hand. (even if it's temporary) It can be done and let frustration win out. Good luck.

just practice your left hand to do

I am primarily right-handed. However, I do use my left-hand quite a bit. I am able to use my left hand to do a lot of things. Although I use my left hand a lot, I feel more comfortable with my right hand. There are a few things that I seem to be able to do with my right hand and not my left. If I wanted to, I probably could train my left hand to do the same things I do with my right, but for the moment, I don't seem to really need to do so. Maybe some day I'll try.

cairalyssa, I think all it takes is practice. The more you use your left hand, the easier it is. We have been using right hands for the entire life, that's why it's always easier doing things with right hands. There is one think we never use our right hand. It's always done by left hand. When ever possible, use your left hand to train it.

everything started from the scratch like what we did when we just started school, we learn how to write and play with out right hands if we our right handed so if theres something wrong happened to it then of course we have no choice but to use the other one though its not that hard to use the left coz we've been using it together with the right sometimes so it will be easy to use the left, its our brain that dectates to it and once grown up our brain become matured. like in me, i never tried to write my left hands but when i had an accident and can use my right hand then why i was able to write with my left its because my brain told me to do so by following what i need to write and how do i write it. in shor, its just got in the brain. even other people can use their toes in writing, eating and other stuff as they cant use their hands due to defects and something.

Hi! On some activities I have a hard time using my left hand especially that I am right handed. But I think your left hand will be able to cope for the resting right hand. Our body is able to adjust to changes in our lifestyle. Just practice it. It will not be easy but just practice using it and it will get use to the activities your usual hand is doing.

The only way for you to find out is to not use your right hand (tigh it on your back). To me it's not a probem I can use both hands. Btw I don't think using the hand is a problem but training the other side of your brains. It's not only about training, many people are lefthanded but forced to use the right hand as a kid.. so they are able to use both hands, also there is a group of people able to use both hands and there is a group who is very right hand orientated.

It has to do with conditioning of the brain to start using the left hand. This is a process that requires patience and may take a little longer to accomplish.

Its just like being back in kindergarden and first grade. You start slowly and retrain yourself todo things with your left hand being dominant

There is no special training for the left hand to do what the right hand can do. You just have to use it more often. It can be hard knowing that the situation with your right hand is only temporary.
