SINISTROPHOBIA – fear of the left side or left handed people
At one point, the left side was considered sinister and unnatural, a direction associated with Satanism and the devil. Parents would force naturally left handed children to adapt to life as righty. Though the days of associating left handed individuals with evil forces is long behind us, those suffering from sinistrophobia are afflicted by the residual negative feelings cultivated against left handedness generations ago. Luckily for them, left-handedness only occurs in about 10% of the population.
