Did your father support you?
Did your father support you?
Who?
yes, but I failed him.
No, but I had to show interest in his hobbies though.
He barely acknowledged my existence.
that hit too close to home
he did to an extent although he used to try to bully me into thinking i was right footed even though i was left footed
>Tfw both footed
>More technical with the left
>More powerful shots with the right
my dad never came to watch me play sunday league because after working his back out all week i understood that he needed time to himself.
My dad used to come to every tennis match i had but i lost most of them so i stopped playing tennis to not further dissapoint him
he wasn't one of those people who thought being cack-handed was the sign of the devil?
probably, i think my teachers forced me to write with my right hand as well because i do that but i do everything else (throw, brush me teeth, wank, send texts etc.) with my left
>i think my teachers forced me to write with my right hand
did you go to school in the 19th century?
i don't explicitly remember being forced but i find it strange that i'm left footed and mostly left handed but i write with my right
all the lefties were absolute freaks in fairness
i have a really good dad
he's really depressed right now though because he's an athlete and his body is finally completely failing him (he's like 60) and it's killing me to see him like this
It hurts

It's uncanny how bad I was at football considering how much time I spent trying to get better
started playing tennis at 7 years old and lost to people with less than 1 year experience at 13-14 years old. Don't understand how i could be so bad.

Unreservedly, yes. One could not ask for better. Taught me everything, took me everywhere. As a very young kid i would get beyond upset if i was losing so he'd ease up until i got even angrier that he was easing up.
Add me to the list
We literally have nothing in common. My dad was in the army and was gone through my entire childhood apart from some christmases and thanksgivings. I get along with him and have a decent relationship with him and everything but we don't really have a real relationship. We just exist and occasionally interact, but it only feels like a formality. Now my mom's passed away and i feel very alone in life.
dang man, i'm sorry for your loss. I feel that about the relationship with your pops. I no longer talk to mine because he's a POS, but when I did we didnt' really have anything in common. I actually dont know much about his life and at this point, I really couldn't care less desu.
Sad thing is i can't really talk about this shit with anyone irl because nobody can relate and it comes off as really depressing bullshit. Haven't even really discussed this with my gf or my closest friends, it's something i just can't talk about. Shit sucks. I'm doing rather well in life tho so thats the thing keeping me going.
But being left-footed is based as fuck. I'm right-handed, but left-footed. I used to dab on the opposition by LCIM-ing on them, but training drills sucked ass because we always did shooting drills for right-footed players.
>did
He does, whatever the fuck I do and fail him
Are you me?! Right-handed but left-footed. I do some things with my right hand (writing, throwing) but then others with my left (wanking, opening stuff, keeping rhythm). I always feel like I should have been left-handed but was never encouraged to do so.
He played with me when I was very little.
He drove me to games and usually watched.
As I got older he watched less and less since he doesnt really care about football. I appreciate that he supported me in my younger years despite that.
i've heard that it's actually pretty uncommon to naturally have different dominant hands and feet and it's a cultural quirk that people are encouraged/expected to write with their right hands
