I’m ambidextrous. I can write with both but prefer my left to write. I do most everything else with my right (throwing a ball, bowling, etc.). I use the computer mouse with my left. I never knew that people put their makeup on with just one hand until I started watching videos. I use my left hand for the left side of my face and my right hand for the right. I never knew I was different with any of it until people started pointing it out to me. I remember my mom got called into my school when I was in 3rd grade. The teacher told her I must be bullying people into doing some of my work because it was in two different styles of handwriting. My mom had to explain that I was ambidextrous. I had to actually prove it in front of the teacher. She then told me I had to pick a hand to write with so I picked my left. I can’t write as fluidly with my right as I used to but I still can. For reference, I’m 60.
