Terrible handwriting

Post Reply New Topic

My handwriting is awful but since my college requires pretty much everything to be typed up, it's not a problem for me. I only use my handwriting for notes.

My penmanship is total crap... but I always thought in was my cerebral palsy that made me write so bad but maybe it's the autism?

Mine varies.
i am slightly hypergraphic...meaning I have had the tendency to write and write and write and write and doodle and scribble and embellish and embellish and write some more...filling up margins of pages and books and so on...When I was in school, I always had to have a doodle pad on my desk in addition to my notebook because I could not stop writing.
I have also had hand-lettering as a sort of special interest for many years....but when using a sub-standard writing utensil, or when not mentally in the "mode" for hand writing, my writing is stiff and horrible and I miswrite and mix up letters and everything is completely deplorable. A particular task I strongly dislike is writing checks, and my handwriting on checks is often barely legible...and I have to mentally force myself to write out the word form of numbers. My brain rebels against it..and it tends to deplete my ability to hand write the letters. I also carelessly alternate between block print and cursive, and also between upper and lower case letters. I have to void and re-write checks on a regular basis because of my bad handwriting.

My writing in public school was always labled as "sloppy" and I was accused of being lazy. My stupid teachers tried to make me rewrite it during recess or playtime breaks, only resulting in an epic meltdown. I can't write "neatly" or else my hands and arms cramp all the way up to my elbows. I can take quick notes but not as "neatly" as my elementry school teachers would have liked, but I still cannot write an epic essay by hand. I can write, just not "neatly". Keyboards were invented for a reason.

Mine is crap but readible. I've had the same hand writing as I did when I was 10 when it was at it's best, but it never improved from there.
Mine tends to change as I'm writing and it usually starts half neat, then sloppy, then slanted, then big, then small then all over the place.

yeah, my handwriting sucks. i'm surprised even the teachers can read it.

The only way that I can write properly, is by typing. Both my writing and printing is messy. I think that typewriters and computers were the best inventions.

My writing is fairly messy, although I find if I use triangular pens it isn't too bad.

I actually have really nice handwriting. Two people in the past week have told me that my handwriting looks like a font. I definitely have motor skills problems, but I guess my handwriting isn't affected.

My handwriting is pretty bad. Cursive and print. Cursive looks good I think but I guess it's hard to read and my print is just sloppy and ugly and mixed with cursive. I had a couple teachers who complained about it over years.

My handwriting is attrocious; although I can if I work very hard, slowly draw nice enough printing and handwriting.

When I was at school the teachers would tell me that I had to practice neat handwriting more, so I would spend hours and hours and hours (for years on end) writing "the quick brown dog jumps over the lazy dog". This did not improve my handwriting so far as I can tell.

I hate writing. I used to write as fast as I could to get it over with, since writing can make myhand and arm hurt. Cursive was by far the worst, and I hated it when we had to do our assignments in cursive.

Like others here, if I write slowly, I can do it somewhat nice! It is just far too uncomfortable to write though.

Very very messy. improved over time (from child to now) but still very, very messy.
