To perform this sign, extend your dominant index finger while keeping your other fingers closed. Point your index finger directly at the center of your chest and tap it lightly. This is the standard ASL sign for referring to yourself, such as 'me' or 'I'.
Sign 'you', then 'help' moving toward yourself, and finish by pointing to your chest with your index finger.
Use the directional sign for 'give' moving toward your body, followed by pointing to your chest.
Point to your chest with your index finger, then use the 'Y' handshape moving back and forth to sign 'same/too'.

The sign for 'me' or 'I' uses an index finger pointing at the chest. The sign for 'my' or 'mine' uses a flat, open palm placed flat against the chest. Handshape is the only difference!
No, a single, clear point or tap to the chest is perfectly sufficient. While you might occasionally see a slight double tap in casual conversation, a single movement is the standard way to sign it.
You should always use your dominant hand. If you are right-handed, use your right index finger to point to your chest. If you are left-handed, use your left.
