No no i'm not.. Here is an example
Sadly my handwriting isnt much better the normal way :|.
Ok, that make me feels a bit better, but If I had to write back to front, it would not be readable, at a push i can write upside down, but when I do, I have to work it out in my head before I put pen to paper.
I feel sorry for lefties, they can never really experience the feeling of writing with a foutain pen, as they would smudge it all with their palm. Using a fountain pen can make even the worst handwriting look better.

OP's parents are from the 19th century?
I am left handed...for writing.
Left hand is more dexterous/precise.
Right hand is stronger.
Example: in badminton/squash I will serve left handed then switch to my right hand for smashes and other "power" shots. My gf hates playing tennis against me because I have no backhand. Instead I have two forehands by switching racket hand during play.
Also WHY DO SCISSORS NOT WORK FOR ME?!?!? I don't get it how are scissors dexterous to the point where they wont cut when used left handed? I do not understand.

Its to do with how you grip them with your left hand it pushes the blades apart rather than together like a right handed person would.
Meh. I did write it the other way you cheat
Good point, you could've easily wrote that with right hand, moving left to right, and not left handed right to left, I'll never know. Before you mentioned that I trusted you implicitely, but now, I wonder.

Ah interesting. Stupid scissors.
Thats sorta proof i guess..
As for djmc0 i guess you will have to take my word for it.. Unless you want me to record me writing it? |:
No, no! I trust you. Or, I don't care, you decide!
Was this not common place in the past? I remember reading something about a left hander in Ireland getting thick ear every time he used his left hand by his priest.
My son is left handed and he is the only one in the family. He is 5 now and from an early age you could tell that he was a leftie. Having read up about it it will be harder than a rightie when writing.
Left handedI can do it ^^
I can mirror write pretty fluently and I'm right handed.
I never said I don't believe you.. I just thought that flipping the image will make it easier for everyone else to read
Still though, he has to be careful in what pen he uses, as if he were to pick the wrong kind, abd obviously the positioning of the palm, everything you have written previously could be worthless in its smudge-ness. But I'm sure lefties must be use to that and adjust accordingly. Must make writers cramp even worse, as when I write loads at speed, the cramp is not far away, and lefties have the extra muscles working, by lifting their palm up from the paper.
I'm similar, I am nothing but right handed. My left hand might as well be a boneless appendage mostly (apart from typing, and playing guitar) But I handle my cutlery like a leftie, I also write down from up, as in if I was to write a four, my first stroke on paper would be the horizontal line starting at the bottom and striking up. Could be related to my slight Dyslexia I had as a kid and hearing disorder that made me stutter. Or not.

Im a lefty! I use my left hand for everything, except one thing for some reason
i was told by a mate of a mate once if you use your other hand and turn it the other way round, it feels as if someone else is doing it, we were both hammered at the time outside a kebab shop at 3am and it was hilarious, never tried it myself though.
