Is It Okay To Be Ambidextrous?
I was born left handed, but my parents forced me to write with my right. Is it bad if I try to train myself to be ambidextrous ? I have good drawing skills with my right hand but my hand writing is pretty bad and my math skills are bad I remember using my left hand when I was little but every time I took the pen to write with my left hand I thought it was bad so I used my right hand always. I also catch myself eating with my left hand and brushing my teeth. What should I do? Will my drawing skills despair if I train to write with my left hand again?

HI
Well come to HCM
To be lefty is physiological phenomenon, if you can use your right hand too then this is okay and if you are not comfortable with right hand then you should not try for this, it is all depends upon your compatibility what is naturally given to you, no need to alter this against the physiological phenomenon, hope this information helps.
