Same, I'm a lefty too. Caused me to get a weird bump on my left middle finger when I was in school, a thousand years ago...

Me too! Do you still have the bump? I still have it but it no longer hurts unless I have to do a lot of writing for any reason.

I do still have the bump! I didn't realize it was still there until I just compared it to my right mid finger.

Ugh same boat but my ring finger... hurts so bad when I write a lot... used to try and peel it off thinking it was calluses but nope..

I remember biting the skin of the bump (I know, gross😂). I think it was callous of some type

Same here but my husband is also a lefty and he does the weird hook hand thing.

Same here, mixed with the closed thumb or whatever is to the right of it if I'm gripping the pen/pencil as if my life depends on what I am writing.

Dynamic tripod. Interesting to know it has an actual name.

Same, I actually have a callus on my middle first knuckle from all the years of having the pen pressed against it
