I have left hand genes. I was forced to learn how to write with my right hand? Higher dexterity in the left?!?

When I was little, my sister forced me to draw and write with my right hand when I used to use either interchangibly. I'm also primarily left footed(ie goofy when riding anything with wheels, kicking balls).





Combined with some other weird habits that for some reason I naturally only do with my left hand.. As well as some strong correlative things such as my natural math smarts.. I am fairly sure I was intended to be a left handed person.





My question is if I were to teach myself how to use my left hand, would the coordination in my hand eventually surpass that of my right? My writing is terrible and it get sore hand and writer bubbles even though I hardly write. I have relatively good motor skills in things like computer games but I am curious to whether I could bring myself to a new level in my writing and pro gaming if I learned to use my left hand.





If yes to the aforementioned, any ideas on how to develop motor skills in this useless left hand quickly? It's pretty useless at the moment!





Please don't bother giving your opinion, have some actual knowledge to share.I have left hand genes. I was forced to learn how to write with my right hand? Higher dexterity in the left?!?
Yes you would, my grandfather attended a very backwards schools and was forced to write with his right hand as the left hand was a sign of evil (this was about 1920) so he learned to write with his right and at his adult life he ws more flexible with his right although he could use both





however he did this at a young age so i don't know how much more difficult you would find itI have left hand genes. I was forced to learn how to write with my right hand? Higher dexterity in the left?!?
I think so. I went through the same thing - was forced to write with my right hand but was left handed at first. However, I kept drawing with my left hand. So now I'm ambidexterous - draw, play sports with my left, write, eat with my right hand. But I think you can get it back. If I try hard enough, I can reverse the roles. I used to not be able to write with my left hand, but I forced myself and now I can write with both, although I write faster with my right hand. It's a matter of practice, use and disuse if you will. :) Keep using your left hand.
