It’s strange. I know of some lefties that have no issues at all using scissors but I have always had issues with them. It’s as if the angle is wrong when I am trying to cut. I fold and tear most papers, and when it comes to gift wrapping, nothing beats a bag and some tissue paper :)
All I know is that, for EVERY project she could work on at home during her elementary and high school years, I did all of the cutting. She just could not do it, and it wasn’t a matter of “learning”.
Another weird thing... when she was 5, she had a birthday party with 8 total children, mostly about the same age. 5 of the 8 were left-handed, so it seemed like she was more likely to be friends with other lefties.
I used to have no problem using those “right handed” scissors..
My left thumb would end up with a red mark and it would hurt to hold the stupid instrument but I was the best cutter outer in my class and the other kids would ask me to help them ..
