I'm "left handed" when i write, draw, ect.. anything with a pencil pretty much, however when it comes to every thing else i can use either hand. I have no clue where i picked it up at because i couldn't use my right hand for any activity such as sports, eating, ect..., for the first 9 or 10 years of my life. Then came my 11 B-day and i started to use both of them i don't know why, but yeah i do have problems like that also. I can't tie-shoes at all any more i pretty much just pull them tight and shove them into my sock's or shoes, and to make things worse i have a shaking problem thats not stress related or some abnormality ( at least one a doctor can find), but i just shake all the time my whole body is always either shaking or moving i can't make it stop either, so it's quite funny to see me do pull-ups, it looks like im having a seisure :lol: . Your not alone my friend, your not alone.

I am completely aware of the fact that I am not alone. Thanks for that though, really appreciated.

I can't coordinate movements very well at all and I walk really weird, kinda hunched over with my elbows held tightly against my chest. One of my legs has a slight limp but that is because I have dystonia. I suck at sports totally. There is no physical way I can do them. I am just too poorly coordinated.

I can completely relate to that. Every time I get forced to play soccer or football or whatever I would get more anxious than ever!!

I walk into things :P
I try not to limp cos I find it intensely annoying when others do it.
I have had bad experiences both catching and throwing balls due to misjudgement or speed or direction I think. I have thrown rounders balls directly at the floor and at right angles to the intended direction.
I didn't understand RPS until recently, didn't know how many different items there were and why some were better than others!
My only skateboard attempt ending in me scraping my palm across a brick wall. It hurt. And quite a while I think to learn to ride a bike without stabilisers.
It took me ages to tie shoelaces even on this clown doll I had that I practised on. use a hoolahoop?
I have never been able to hulahoop for long though I tried cos I became obsessed with the girl from Alegria (Cirque du Soleil) who spun about 20 around her waist at once and spun them on her arms and legs etc at he same time. I wanted to be like her. I never was :(

I'm quite clumsy with moi hands.

I learned to ride a bicycle, stricly in a straight line, which is not very practical in terms of transportation. I freak my father when learning to drive a car, which eventually I gave up learning. Public transportation is great where I live.

At school, when I conduct experiments, I break things major time. Many glass made instruments are not likely to survive my treatment.

I'm definitely clumsy, and lack fine motor skills. I can do most things okay; but nothing well if it requires fast-twitch reflexes or precision.

I can't draw for s**t.

I have very good fine motor skills, but not full-body motor skills. I've always looked extremely awkward dancing, no matter how much I practiced. And yes, I totally suck at sports, and am clumsy but I think that has more to do with visual distractions. Some random pattern often catches my eye and I stare at it for longer than I should, and get distracted.

^ I'm quite the opposite. People said I'm talented at art, and I have very neat handwriting. Plus, I play the piano.

Err. I still can't tie my shoelaces. :lol: :oops: Rather embarrassing thing about me that I've learned to hide well enough in daily life, heheh. My hand-eye coordination is shot, I fail at just about every sport. Unless you count power walking as a sport? :D I'm no good at riding bikes except the stationary exercise bikes, haha. Hula hoops; don't even go there. I trip a lot and walk into things, but I don't have a serious limp- my right foot sometimes, well, I don't exactly know how to describe the feeling, it just bends in an awkward way when I'm walking too slow sometimes. My fine motor skills, however, are fine- they get a lot of use from drawing. :)

Hula hoops, lol. I don't want to go there either, they are extremely difficult for me. Yet they are meant for the little ones.
