I was born as a lefty, but my parents didn't like it and forced me to use my right hand since I was very young. So now I use my right hand to write and I can't use my left hand for that. My parents think that they were successful in converting me to be a right-hander. I also used to think of myself as being a right-hander. But what's really weird is that whenever I learn a new task, I naturally find it comfortable to do it as though I was a left-hander. So it seems like even though my handedness for a specific task like writing is fixed as being right-handed, my brain remains as being left-handed. I think this suggests that the brain's left or right-handedness can't be changed once it's decided during embryogenesis or by genetics.
What I'm curious about is whether there is a difference between a lefty who wasn't forced to change handedness for some activities like writing and a lefty like me who was forced to use the right hand for some activities.
