Southpaws don’t have it easy in a world dominated by righties, but with lefties increasing in visibility, it’s time to welcome your distinctiveness.
Step 1: Embrace your strengths
Welcome the strengths you possess. The right hemisphere of the brain, which directs music, art, perception, emotions, and other forms of abstract thinking, is dominant in lefties.
Tip
Famous lefties include Albert Einstein, Charlie Chaplin, Babe Ruth, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Mark Twain.
Step 2: Hone your adaptibility
Sharpen your ability to use right-handed tools. Because your world is dominated by right-handed products, you can adapt to right-handed tools more easily than righties to left-handed products.
Step 3: Perfect your penmanship
Practice your writing grip. Hold your pencil 1 inch from the point, keep your wrist straight and below the writing line, and tilt the paper to accommodate your posture.
Step 4: Specialize your products
Get specialized left-handed tools and products. Left-handed scissors, garden tools, and kitchen products are available online and at specialty stores.
Step 5: Go for it
Follow your interests to the greatest of your ability, whether you like to crochet or play baseball. Online tutorials for lefties and lots of practice can help you excel as a southpaw.
Did You Know?
About 13 percent of the world’s population is left-handed. Left-handedness is believed to be genetic and runs in families.

I was born a lefty, was forced to be a righty. It was revealed to me so late in life that because I was a fraternal twin (my brother died at birth), me being the oldest, I was to be the left handed one, and he was to be the right handed one. And despite learning this at the halfway point in my life, I took it upon myself to reclaim what was taken from me-the use of my left hand. Realistically, some things I still have to do orthodox, but me and my southpaw are very good friends now. Because of this, I'm now ambidextrous, but I will always claim my left handedness, because by birth, that's what I was!
Southpaws UNITE!
You can't be born left handed
I'm Left Handed, But The Only Time I use My Right Hand Is When i use the Mouse........
***** lol
***** ok
FlameyZ / J77 same
Same fam
ejunM same and I can do sports with my right hand like baseball, volleyball, and badminton. Yet I cannot write with my right hand...
I am left handed in... EVERYTHING and this video is so awesome it helps a lot
The ability to perform a task on both hands is not an indicator, it needs the person showing absolute no preference with 1 hand over then other. Da Vinic wrote most of his personal notes w/ left hand, showing he indeed had a preference.
Go lefties!!
I mostly use my left handed all the time when i'm eating writing etc. I'm always having trouble when trying to cut a piece of paper.
i hate when I get marker on my hand when I'm drawing or coloring that is a con of being a lefty
but i like it
That is so true! I do have those characteristics of an abstract thinker.

this dude got big eyebrows
XD
The whole running-in-the-family thing is true because my dad, grandpa, and uncles/ aunts are all left handed and so is my mom's aunt. I was ambidextrous up until 3rd grade and just stuck with my left hand, now I can't write with right hand at all. (or at least have it be legible...)
OMG WHO MADE THIS TYSM
This is a multi-method video not a multi-part video. All the parts shown in this video are separate methods that this video only intends left-handers to choose which one they want to use.
I'm doing just fine as a lefty thank you
how do i write in a 3 ring binder without the rings getting in the way??
*thank you*
explain this to me i know no one in my family who is left handed but im left handed
Same. But three people in my family are left handed including me. Save meh.
TIMIDFUSION I'm the only one, I've met almost everyone in my family that's alive and none of the are left handed.
TIMIDFUSION Adopted.
Livia Neunteufel no idea if I'm adopted or not
TIMIDFUSION me and my dad are the only ones in my family
What if you can legibly write with both hads and can use either hand for everything else and it would make no difference?
i am left and right handed
me too.. i feel unique
I tried playing mlbb with left handed and it worked well..
My grandpa was a lefty but he went to catholic school so nuns hit him with rulers until he wrote with his right hand (this gets better) then he could write with both hands at the same time!
I’m left handed yet my whole family and my parent’s families are all right handed.
I’ve adapted to right handed stuff any special products for lefty’s would be weird
My great great grandfather was left handed. Him and I were the only lefties in our family. Now it's only me.
u guys have to beieve me,that im left handed,but i write with my right hand....so..which hand do a really use?
@Zeemas actually, the thumbs for the video are left handed. I think theyre supposed to be for the comment thumbs but because the hands are smaller they made it less detailed. :-/ i'm not sure. but who cares if you're right or left handed. i don't, and i'm also right handed.
I am typing while I am WATCHING! EASY,HARD LEFT!
I'm left handed.. =D
But I still use all the right handed things, like scissors, or gardening tools.
I just found my own way of using them, and it works great.
I'm left handed, but when it's time to use my DS, scissors or guitar, I'm sort of ambidextrous lol
I assume you said that becoz of his ability to write w/ both left & right hand, but that's not what ambidextrous means. e.g. i could throw a ball w/ left hand as well as right hand, but it doesn't mean I am ambidextrous. Ambidexterity requires one's dexterity on left side EQUALS to the right.
Right handed for the win!
ive heard there is actually a specific day for left-handed people...which is on august 13...
idk if its true...
I am a lefty and I am proud of being one! My crush is also a lefty!!!!!
Im a proud lefty
I have been left handed my entire life and I am not able to be write handed because it is too difficult and that my handwriting is very ugly when right handed.
@everythingswrong7789 what did you say?
My mom always call me lefty. lol
When I was in preschool I could write with both hands
im the only lefty in my family :3 i would have been right handed but i sucked my thumb when i was a kid and ended up being a lefty :D
Although I'm a lefty, I don't use any lefthanded tools.
Leftys can use righthanded tools on most ways.
They just find their own way of doing it. =)
Being left handed meand I am not like everyone else. There is nothing I can not do. I am me...
im onli lefty when righting the rest ican use my right
Hemispheres of the brain do not solely house things like artistic ability, math, science, etc.
I'm the only person in my family to be left handed, but I'm right hand dominant.
i know, but the type jokes you pick often reveal your true beliefs deep down.
i'm left handed and my dad too
I'm a righty but I'm training myself to be ambidextrous.
Good that I’m ambidextrous
@Xxemma78xX I'm like you. I'm not sure who is left-handed in my family if there are ones, but my brother and I are left-handed while my parents are not.
I've researched and left handers are lickely to be or be a decendant of ginger people. I'm mexican and I'm a lefty. My grandpa was ginger amd a lefty but I'm the only lefty my parents and brothers are both rightys its weird.
I can use a right handed can opener yay me!!
i'm a lefty
I only use my right hand when cutting. using scissors all of the things I do, I do it with my left hand :))
I"m a ambidextrous natural but most the time I write with my left
@Zeemas oh, lol! ^.^ didnt really see how long ago you posted it. haha.
Me and my sister are left handed but nobody else in my family are
Also I only use scissors and write with my left hand... almost everything else I do eight handed (apart from netball and badminton although practically all other sports I play right handed)
I'M A PROUD LEFT HANDED !
I'm a lefty my hand writing is sloppy
yeaahh fender squier p bass
thumbs up this, because the hand for the thumbs up is a right hand. right hander's ftw. :D
im proud to be lefthanded.
It sucks being left-handed because since everything is used for right-handed people,it's difficult for left-handed people especially with stuff like playing drums because everything has to be switch around for you to play. Meanwhile for right-handed people,it's all set up for you. They should have left-handed stores everywhere instead of ordering it on the internet.
That's interesting, why would you say that?
Im the only lefty in my family how is that genetics?
@smallbird5 lol yea, but i think i was implying the comment's thumbs. i dunno, i forgot already. its been 3 months.
I’m left handed already lol
im left handed and its easy handling it
@owenboy60
Ambidextrous or Mixed-handed.
Thumbs up if you're right handed and still watching this!
@Rahrahohmama,me too.Also I can use scissors with my right hand.
i'm the only lefty in my family (including aunts, uncles, grandparents etc.) so I don't see how its genetic
the genetic part cant be true all of my family as far as i know until my grandparents are right handed but my brother can use both hands for writing and anything rely
what if ur ambidextrous?

yunus shaikh
He looks like vinny
But in my family,I'm the only Left-Handed person.
Im a lefty :)
I completely disagree with buying left handed guitar ,because guitar is a two handed instrument and no side is dominant while playing , and finding left handed guitars are almost impossible,Im left handed and i play a right handed guitar with no problem what so ever
@XDDramaChikkXD we all agree it's a dumb vid, but the intention of the video is to make it easier for left-handed people to cope with their handedness in a right-handed world. I really don't think there was any mention of teaching anyone to be left handed.
but he was using his right hand
I'm ambidextrous.. Would that make me the 10% or 13% of the world that's left handed?
how did you become ambidextrous?
