On having ugly handwriting
2025-03-19 00:00
My handwriting 90% of the time is horrendous.
Having ADHD is a large part of it, I can focus and write nicer if I go slow and focus. And even quite nice if I go really slow and do a sentence at a time with breaks between.
When I look back at things with my current self awareness and knowledge, I’m pretty sure me writing in a way only I can understand became a defensive tactic after being bullied a lot; and in general feeling unsafe.
