Hi! 
I’m left-handed too. It kinda runs in the female part of our family: my aunt (mom’s sister) and my cousin (said aunt’s daughter) are lefties also. Males in our family are all right-handed.
I am of those unlucky who were forced to write with right hand It was horrible, my first grade teacher used to hit my left hand with a ruler or wrapped a scarf around it and then tied it to my neck so I wouldn’t use it. *shudders at the memory*
My handwriting sucks and people often complain that they can’t read it. I have spent countless hours in detention at school writing out text into my notebook, because my teachers believed that writing a lot with right hand would improve my handwriting, and when it didn’t helped they thought I wasn’t trying hard enough I’m so glad that is just a distant memory now
I’m so glad that my cousin was allowed to write with left hand, and didn’t have to endure what I did.
Speaking about doing things with left or right hand…
I learned to adapt, so now most of the tasks I can do with both hands, which I find very handy, when you have an accident and injure one of you hands.
There is one thing that I can do only with left hand though – it’s using mobile phone. I tried using it with right hand few times, but only succeeded in dropping it out of my hand.
Also I always carry my purse on my left shoulder, tried to put it on right shoulder a few times, but it felt too weird
As to saying that lefties are more creative I agree wholeheartedly, and I mean creativity not only as arts & music, but being generally creative in life, as to finding new ways to do things and such. I’m really terrible at math. Though I’m quite good with analytical stuff, guess its ability to see connections between things, at least in my case.
As someone else mentioned, I also pretty much immediately notice when someone writes with left hand, and think awww… another lefty Its just that there are not so many left handed ppl that when you see one you feel some sort of connection with them, does that makes sense? English is not my mother tongue
