Are you right or left handed?

I'm right handed for writing, but everything else I can do with both. Couldn't call myself ambidextrous, but I do think people generally underestimate the ability of their non-dominant hands. You know, like those people who cut food with their knife in their right hand, fork in their left, and then put the knife down and transfer the fork to their right hand to take the piece of food. They need to turn off their targeting computers and trust that their left hands will not smear their faces with gravy.
Left handed with everything. Can still use a mouse right handed really well. Wear a watch on my left hand. Claw writer for life!
Thoroughly left, and forever laughing about the one time in my life I encountered a room full of other people who happened to be lefties in a college class...with one goddamn left-handed desk/chair combo available.
Right handed, but when I played guitar, I played it "left-handed" because my left hand is so dysfunctional, I couldn't form chords with it.
Sinister as hell. But I do use the mouse and a few other things with my right, just the way I learned them.
Bit of both. I use right hand to most stuff but then i use pen in left and some other things. But then i almost never use a pen anymore .. so there's that too. In school i was considered lefty because of this and was handed shit like scissors for left handed people but i couldnt use it.
I hadn't heard the term until I saw your previous post, and wondered if that might be me. But I can go to the driving range and golf it up left-handed or right, I can tennis with either hand (but not squash - right only), and I'm right-eyed and right-footed. So I think I'm pretty definitively a righty, or a mixty. I don't do anything with my left hand that I can't do as well as or better with my right.
I'm left handed for some things and right handed for others. Unfortunately, it's left for writing (smudges, hand cramps, three ring binders always sucked in school) and right for sports/throwing balls etc.
Left handed except for using the PC and eating with knife and fork (I don't know why using a knife with my left feels extremely wrong)
Only me, one of my uncles and two other cousins in my extended family are left handed

I'm right-handed when it comes to holding a mouse, but strangely I prefer to use my left hand when holding my phone with one hand.
I dunno. Biology can be a weird thing. 😅 My left foot is a club foot though. Plus both my wrists are incredibly flexible. I can push both my hands completely down to my wrists.
I am naturally a lefty for everything, but unfortunately when I was in pre-school some teacher forced me (kind of against my parents wishes) to use my right hand. It basically had weird side effects for me, when playing baseball for example I would struggle to know how to throw/catch.
Back then, I recall hearing baseless statements about how being a lefty was just a "bad idea" for writing. I suppose it's because of how we write from left-to-right in most languages 🤷♂️. I'm mostly ambidextrous now, except for writing.

I do most stuff equally with both hands... except chopsticks (left), art/writting (mostly left) and using the mouse (right). For traditional painting/drawing I use exclusively my left hand but before having a tablet I was used to digitally draw with the mouse, soooo... haha.
I still consider myself more a leftie because with new stuff I use instinctively the left first.
Fun fact, when I was learning to write, teachers tried to change my natural way to write with my left hand, but I started to write from right to left, all inverted, so they gave up and let me write with the left.
