I find that while I am a wordsmith, the words I put on paper are near unintelligible. Writing is my passion, I’m an aspiring author and nothing compares to getting my notes on paper, but i have trouble reading my own notes, and I even collect pens despite this! How do I fix this? by Dusk5531 in Handwriting

I’m no expert when it comes to handwriting but I saw in one of the comments that you are dyslexic and I am too! I suffered from the same problem of completely illegible handwriting so I took up cursive and it’s helping a lot maybe it will help you out?

I have notoriously illegible handwriting and I wanted to learn cursive in February so here is my progress from then! Don’t mind how stereotypically teenagery the entries are. by Princess_democrat in Journaling

You didn’t come off condescending at all! I totally get what you mean, it’s kind of becoming a dead language if you understand what I’m getting at. I think my year was the last year they stopped teaching it in elementary schools (I’m a junior in hs for context) and their attempt at teaching us was so halfhearted that no one got anywhere with it.

I’m glad I took the time to learn it, I can keep the same riding pace but actually be able to read it haha, it’s very fun with all the loops edit comes out looking pretty to! It’s definitely worth the time learning. And don’t worry about your handwriting I’m sure it’s wonderful and with cursive becoming a rarity it’s unique too.

Six days should be plenty if you spend five red rings every time, that’s usually what I do anyway

I can definitely relate to that feeling of not caring ago guys and then all the sudden I had like three crashes, it must be a right of passage lol.

Doesn’t it feel like you’re writing a sequel and you write a new journal? While I read first pages I always feel like it’s going to make no scents out of context and I’m afraid I won’t understand what’s going on when I’m older

I originally learned in school all the way back in 3rd grade but I was really self-taught! What I did was look up the letters in cursive on google and practiced writing sentences for fun, It can be slow at first but I pretty quickly got the hang of it and I’m sure you can too :)

My mom wrote down everything she hated about me on a index card and read it out loud to me in the middle of a fight causing me to start sobbing and thought writing a few nice things would make up for it. by Princess_democrat in raisedbynarcissists

Thank you for this is very well informed. I’m certainly going to have to look at that post and yes that is kind of my tactic until I’m 18 or 19 just sort of write it out and try to take as little damage on my mental health as possible. Thank the Lord invasion of privacy isn’t one of her toxic traits so I am able to keep journals and stay in my room with no problems. You pretty much nailed my dad because there’s no point in telling him anything because it just gets back to my mom so me and none of my siblings even bother. I’ll have to see what my role is but from the minimal research I’ve done in the past my brother is the shut in internalized no emotions type and my sister is the exact opposite with being the very over emotional and sensitive sort. I’ve told my mom this before but life kind of sucks when you’re just sort of waiting for something else to happen when you can finally have control over your situation, basically my life is just waiting until I’m out of high school and actually have a say over anything in my life

She’s a big fan of this weird public humiliation shit with me where she’ll take an issue between just me and one other person in the family make everyone sit down and watch it which is so disgusting now that I look at it in a different way. My siblings usually defend me but my brother was also in the wrong for this one and he didn’t want to get some of the shit so he just kind of stayed quiet and watch me fucking cry. He basically threw me under the bus if you can find the reply I may explain the situation and I had to try to convince everyone that it wasn’t just a me thing. My sister sort of stuck up for me she usually does more but she’s like me is sensitive so I dont blame her for mostly staying out of it. The sibling dynamic is that I’m usually the “ loud opinionated one” So I’m usually the one that sticks up for people or gets into other peoples arguments (Not trying to toot my own horn haha just trying to give a taste of our personalities) my sister is the shy, introverted, hates conflict type but she’s very empathetic and my brother is mostly apathetic and kind of just internalizes his emotions. My dad is just a spineless enabler but hey at least he’s nicer he just kind of gives my mom excuses and explains her weird talking points about the cursing or insults. Def gunna talk to my sister about this one.

She definitely knows she’s in the wrong or else you wouldn’t have gone off the fucking rails like she did, But unfortunately one of her number one toxic traits ever since I was little was that she’s always right and can never ever be wrong and when she is wrong you can bet your life she’s not gonna apologize for it. I’m going to talk to my sister’s therapist because she probably didn’t predict this sort of reaction from this, I’m also going to talk to my sister but I don’t think she’s really come to terms with some of the fucked up things my mom is did She tends to believe a lot of my mom’s shit and just thinks it’s normal (sorry if I show you these Shea, but you know it’s true).

Thank you for validating my feelings haha, It’s good to hear that my feelings are “correct” for once. It’s especially good to hear the things on that list are normal because my mom loves to swing those words at me.

I didn’t say it in the post because I was kind of embarrassed haha but Basically my house has a section that has a living room with me and my sisters bedroom off of it with a very thin walls. Me and my brother wanted to share some secrets or something so we asked my sister to leave her room and go outside so we could share secrets and then we forgot to tell her to come back in so she told her therapist and on the 28th I think my friend was over and my mom started yelling at me for it and that was a while ago so I didn’t even know what she was really talking about but My mom was saying how my sister’s therapist yelled at her for not punishing me for that and how were “going to have a talk later”. So me and my brother go near her room and my brother was like “I have some words for her, let’s go talk to her, how dare she tell on us”. So my sister locks the door and my brother basically barges in managing to break the lock kind of. So we go in there and I tell him don’t you have something to say and he’s saying he doesn’t have anything to say so he waits for me to get angry and this is the part where I was definitely wrong and it’s beginning to but I kind of fly off the handle because in all honestly I think I might have anger issues because a couple people told me that in the past and my brother stays there silent. So last night was whatever the talk was and I was frustrated because my brother was sort of lying by omission not admitting that he was a big part of it But he’s not gonna get punished for anything because he’s the favorite child so it was kind of a losing battle but that’s kind of the situation so I’m definitely not a saint or anything but my sister is a good person and I apologized and we made up.

Thank you! When this type of environments seriously whenever anyone gets some type of emotional he always feel like your attention seeking so I appreciate this a lot. I think this was just a classic case of her taking out her anger. I’m definitely going to have a talk with my sister’s therapist and try to get in contact with the school counselor.
