When I was a kid I wanted to be able to raise one eyebrow, but I couldn't figure out how. What I did was use my hand to raise it over and over again to kind of train the muscle. Eventually I could do it without the help of my hand! Also a fun fact: I only ever did it with my left eye brow for some reason, and now that's the only one I can move on it's own.

Interesting how everyone says they can only lift their left. I'm much better at lifting my right, but I'm also left handed. I wonder if they're related.

Right handed and right eyebrow. Possibly from imitating Spock, in my case.

left handed and right brow gang aswell. Wonder if it has to do with brain hemispheres

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Left handed and right eye brow here also

I'm a southpaw as well, but I have a much easier time independently raising my left eyebrow, so maybe, maybe not.

I only write, and bat left-handed though. I throw, catch, and do gross motor skills either ambidextrously, or right handed.

I did a similar thing to learn the Spock salute. Just wrapped an elastic band around my ring and pinkie fingers for two days to train my ring finger to be more independent from my middle finger.

I did the exact same thing, and can also only lift my left one on its own.

[-] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

same thing here. I can only move my left eyebrow

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Huh. I used to be able to do both (right better than left). Now I've got one of those notch scars in my left eyebrow just to the right of where that muscle pulls, and I can't get it to move properly. Fuck aging.
