Is there something special about left-handed people?

Asked by IzzyAndHerBeans (359points) January 26th, 2012

I’m left-handed and I meet very few people who are left-handed like me. When I do meet that one person (maybe two), I feel like an instant connection is made. Are we wired differently? Do we tend to be linked to each other because of our brain chemistry?

I’m a lefty too and lean towards being more of a right brained, creative and free spirited type.
From what I’ve researched on occasion, really, there is no proof positive that handedness really counts for much. One left handed joke claims that lefties are the result of either genius or birth trauma. lolol

There’s something special about everyone. Whether you choose to seek it, notice it or develop it is up to you.

What if you do things with both hands? I bat right handed, golf left handed. Write right handed, shoot a basketball left handed. Throw right handed, bowl left handed and I play the guitar backwards and upside down.

I think that all left-handed people are intelligent. Otherwise, i do not feel any special connection to the left-handed. (Other than the shared history of being left-handed in a right-hand dominant world.)

My lunch gang at work are all left handed (including myself). Coincidence that we are all engineers?

There was a study for this at a university. It was concluded by them that left handed people had a much softer personality than stubborn right handed people.
