Is it weird that I use scissors with my right hand, even though I'm left-handed?

Answer #1

It is completely normal for people to be a little bit ambidexterous instead of purely right handed or purely left handed. And then, most scissors that are in any way sided - the ones that have one handle larger than the other - are made for right handed people, and uncomfortable to use with the left.

So you probably just got used to cutting that way. Maybe you just use the right hand to open and close the scissors and then you move the material you wanted to cut with the more dexterous left hand?

Answer #2

Its a bit different since we generally use the same hand to write, use scissors, lift things etc. As the above user stated you probley began using your left hand to cut by accident because you had the wrong type of scissors for a left handed child.

I do something similar. I am right handed but when i work decorating cakes i use my left hand to control my decorating and icing bag. I had never even noticed until a woman at my last job asked if i was left handed. When i told her i wasnt she pointed it out to me. Apparently the lady who taught me to decorate was left handed and i copied her.

Answer #3

I am left handed and use a scissors with my right hand. The scissors are typically set up for a right handed person and I got used to it as a child. I throw and write left handed, but I golf, bat and use a scissors right handed.

Answer #4

no, it’s not. some people are just ambidextrous like that.

Answer #5

Haha, I’m the same! I used to think it was weird but now I know I’m not the only one!
