What if you were supposed to do something with the opposite part of your body? Like with writing or throwing. What if you were supposed to do it with your other hand, but were taught to do it with another?

When I was learning to write they thought it was odd how I held a pencil, and kept trying things like rubber banding my hand, or making me us some odd looking grippers to hold it "correctly", but now that I think about it they never tried letting me use my left hand. The only reason that I even wonder about this is because for other things such as throwing, and kicking I use the left side of my body, but I only use the right side of my body for writing, so to me it seems as if the left side of my body is dominant, and I wonder why I don't write with my left hand. I know some people are like this, but I'm really the only one in my family that I know is, and we've had some lefties in my family like my dad's mom, and I forget, but some one on my mom's side of the family is a lefty that was in her intermedite family. Also when I was younger I could write using both my hands, but over time they wouldn't let me do it really and basically forced me to use my right, so I grew out of that. My hand writing isn't that great, but I wonder if it would be better if I learned how to write with my left hand.

Have any of you wondered if you were supposed to use the opposite part of your body, but you were forced to use another because of the social norm?

Well by now I've practically wrote with my right hand all of my life, and I have attempted lefty, but can't seem to make anything more than a scribble right now. Unlike when I was younger and coule write basically the same both ways. Think it might be a little too late for me, but it's just kind of those "What if?" questions to me.
