Weird fact about me: I’m cross-dominant (also known as being mixed-handed). Instead of having a dominant hand I use everything with, my hands are… Awkward. There are some tasks which my left hand excels at, and some tasks which my right hand excels at. And I can’t know until I try it. Oh so you’re ambidextrous? This is the question I’m asked every time I bring it up, but no. Ambidextrous people have (mostly) equal ability with both hands, whereas cross-dominant people’s abilities are tied to differing hands; if I write with my right hand and use a hammer with my left, I’d end up with a Cy Twombly and some bent nails.
