Is it normal to be ambidextrous like this?

I threw with my left hand when i was a baby but i switched to right when i was about 4. I write righy, but bat, play lax, hockey, and golf lefty. I am better at writing lefty than all my righty friends. Also i am much better at throwing with my left hand than my other right handed friends. I even through with my left hand for short distance eith my left hand if my right hand is holding something. I keep my phone in my left pocket. I snowboard regular but i tryed goofy once and was really good at it, i might have even liked it more. In basketball, i dribble lefty and shoot righty. I can do things like brushing my teeth or eating with either hand. And for some reason, my left arm is stronger! Is this normal? Was i born lefty but switched to righty? Am i mixed handed or ambidextrous? When people ask me if im righty or lefty, i say right because i write and throw with that hand, but i dont really know what to answer. Any thoughts anyone? Also i am left eyed and i think left eared too.

    What do you mean that you are "left eyed and left eared". That you perceive your world better with them?
    Your post is normal. It also sounds to me that your left hand is dominant, which is why you can do things better with it.

    That's how it is. My mom and dad both have tendencies to do things differently. Both write righty, but mom was forced to do it when she was in school. She doesn't mind and it's normal now. I am right-handed but left-eyed (ideal for sports), but I still couldn't hit a baseball until I had LASIK surgery, so I guess my eyes didn't work together well or my astigmatism ruined my depth perception or something. I do everything normal except I jump off the wrong foot when playing basketball, so they say.

    when my sister was born and later adopted, we found out she was a lefty. It turned out she was the only lefty in the family, my mom had to teach her how to write. So my mom became ambidextrous.

    Yep, my brother's sorta like this, he's left-handed and plays sports with his right hand. Seeing as you're ambidextrous, I'd say this is completely normal.

    Also, I found your last sentence to be hilarious...

    My left hand is probably my dominant hand, but...
    I do many things the way that right-handed people do (writing, throwing, hockey, using the computer, etc.) because that's how I was taught.
    Otherwise, I use whichever hand is more convenient.
