    You are born an outsider. This allows you to understand the world more clearly at a younger age. Not sure what advantages this may give but it’s reality.

    In English we write left to right and lefties smudge their writing (or adapt their grip I guess) so, for right to left languages it’s a plus.

    After typing there para above, I guess they could also be better drawers if they have done more practice or use a different grip or draw instead of write if they’re part of a class doing pencil and paper time.

    Notable advantage in a lot of beginner and intermediate level sports. By the time you get beyond that everyone knows how to compensate for left handedness.

    Easier for you to assault a castle with spiral staircases while using a sword.

    Back when automated toll booths had baskets to throw coins in, I could easily pay tolls at around 45 mph.

    EZ pass eventually became a thing, probably saved me from my own young stupidity.

    My gf thinks lefties are hot. I don’t understand but I got an advantage there 🤷‍♂️

    From memory, we are statistically more likely to be geniuses. Unfortunately we are also equally as more likely to be clinically insane.

    Training people in surgical techniques is way easier in lefties because most have been imitating right handed people so have some degree of ambidexterity. When you tell a right handed person to do precision movements with their left hand it fucks them up for a while.

    I fence, and lefties have a significant advantage, just because we’re used to fencing opposite-handed opponents.

    When I play basketball, it gives a slight advantage in the beginning when opponents don’t know I’m a lefty because they automatically assume I shoot with my right.

    Also, being able to naturally drive one handed in a left-hand drive car.
