When our child started cutting, we bought her left handed scissors so that she had both at had and could try it out. Her left handed dad - who grew up in a country which had no left handed things - wasn’t able to use the scissors. He can also not use a left handed guitar, he has played like a righty his whole life because a left handed guitar was unaffordable and “you need two hands to play the guitar anyway, duh”.
Anyway, she’s developing into a lefty, but no one is touching the scissors.
I’m left-handed for drawing and writing but everything else its a tossup for which hand I’ll gravitate towards. Some things I just end up equally not-great at no matter how I approach it
There’s many old left handed guitar legends who play on a right handed guitar for that exact reason, jimi hendrix for example. Tho he flipped the guitar around and restrung it basically upside down.
I also never really understood why my picking hand is my right hand when I’m right handed, I feel like I’m way more dextrous with it which would help with fretting. But at this point it’s what I’m used to I guess

That’s interesting to me. I’m a lefty who’s used to both types of scissors. That means I know how I need to pull sideways with the knuckle of my thumb in the right handed ones so they still cut well. But with the left handed ones I feel like I’m doing way less, I just pull and push up and down without needing the additional deliberate sideways pressure.
