I bet I can do things right handed better than right handed people can do things left handed though.
I never really complained about it, I just always found a way around it and this is one reason that I think left handed people seem to be over represented (per capita since I think roughly only 10% of people are left handed) in the higher end career fields and things that force you to find creative solutions for problems.
I feel like the advantage I've gained mentally was well worth dealing with graphite smudges and ink smudges on my hands.
Thinking back, the very worst problem I had being left handed was using those shitty plastic "child safe" scissors they give you in grade school. That and people not understanding the difference between hand dominance and eye dominance but then that caused me to be able to switch hit in baseball and play soccer better than the others because I was better than they were no matter which foot I used.
I usually shoot (in video games, not IRL because guns are too loud) rifles left handed or right handed, pistols left or right handed, and shotguns right handed if it is shooting clays.
