I suspect you're simply right handed or were lucky enough to be in some kind of safe environment for lefties. For me, a left-hander, while there was no superstitious negativity, there were dozens of harsh, practical negative interactions.
One of my first memories of school was being sat at a round table. Every time I'd try to color, cut, paste, whatever, I'd bump elbows with the kid next to me. He'd get mad. I got in trouble. So I started sitting on the floor and doing my work on the chair. So I got in trouble. I'd smear everything I wrote, mangle my fingers in those fricking scissors, and learning that "Sinister" literally means "left-handed" was really grand.
I despise being left-handed.

The other advantage of left-handness is that I learnt that people who were left-handness had a a more active right brain, which means I am extra creative !
