			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I&#8217;ve always been left-handed I cannot of course speak authoritatively for what Right Handers think but as far as I know us left-handers have the left and right hand parts of our brains as fairly equal partners, this means we often get a wretched inner debate before we can ever decide on a course of an action. Right handers just think and do. Us left-handers on the other hand are renouned for being more artistic etc etc.</p>
<p>The reason I&#8217;m blogging this is that this morning I was going to take a kitchen utensil we never use to a thrift shop, and then right at the last moment I start dithering well may be we might use it one day blah blah. So any way it&#8217;s still sitting in our garage as it has done for 2 years. Annoying!</p>
<p>What are your experiencees?</p>
<p>Curiously a report released today by Abertay University states</p>
<p class="first"><strong>People who are left-handed are more likely to get anxious or feel shy or embarrassed about doing or saying what they want, according to new research.</strong></p>
<p>Those involved in the Abertay University study were given a behavioural test that gauges personal restraint and impulsiveness.</p>
<p>Researchers found left-handers tended to agree more with statements such as &#8220;I worry about making mistakes.&#8221;</p>
<p>They also agreed that &#8220;criticism or scolding hurts me quite a bit.&#8221; <!-- E SF --></p>
<p>In total, 46 left-handed people were compared with 66 right-handers.</p>
<p><strong>&#8216;Wiring differences&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>The left-handers scored higher when it came to inhibition, especially when a situation was new or unusual. Women were also more held back than men.</p>
