If so, rejoice!
it is a natural-born talent and not a genetic condition.
In fact we are conditioned in so many ways throughout our early years to conform to a norm where dexterity stands for the "right" side of things.
Still we can change it!
One of the fun things that we can try out safely at home is writing one's own name with the "other" hand. That often turns out better, with a little practise, than a cramped signature with the other. Many other harmless activities, from stirring a soup to retrieving tiny objects, can be carried out using that other side of the finger, wrist, arm and shoulder assembly.
We are creatures of habit, re-enforced every day.
i particularly enjoy my Sarpaneva Myrsky which, as a pilot-inspired watch, comes with the option of having the crown on the left.
That one is often worn on my right wrist, but not so many others. The risk of bumping into something is far too great; whereas any automatic would appreciate being energized on the active wrist than kept under sedation.
When off the wrist, I wind it manually with a dozen or so others and often have to laugh when checking or setting the time while thinking the watch has quit running! That's when my "sinextery" comes into play.
Only the bold and the foolish would try this for shucking oysters.
