Is it normal to not know which hand is dominant?

I write with my right hand. I type on my phone with my right hand too. And most of the time I hold my fork or spoon in my right hand. But, for almost everything else, I feel more comfortable using my left hand. My instinct tells me that my left side is my dominant side; it is my subconscious default for most things, not the right. I know that with a few weeks of practice I could easily teach my left hand to write.

I am not sure if this means I'm ambidextrous or if my brain is just confused about which side of my body it prefers to be dominant. I was never forced to use my right hand as a child or anything like that, it came naturally.

Does anyone else experience something like this?

    Make a diamond shaped gap with your Index fingers and thumbs.

    Whilst making this shape with your fingers stretch your arms out in-front of your face.

    Now pull your hands all the way towards your face (Whilst still making the diamond) and you will feel naturally inclined to pull your hand over your left/right eye. Whichever side you move to is your dominant side

    Cross your arms the hand you can see your fingers on is your dominant hand.

      Hmph, that kinda worked. First both my hand's fingers were showing, then I was like this isn't right, and naturally my left hand made a fist and tucked itself under to reveal my one true dominant hand.
