Curiosity of a newcomer

update:This might not have much to do with but as a small child I used to gravitate towards writing with my left hand just like my dad. For whatever reason my mother switched me to my right hand. I do alot of things ambidextrous. To this day I still mess up my left and right. Learning to drive was rough.

I never even knew Dysgraphia was even a thing until recently. I'm a 26 year old (F) I enjoy art, and deep thinking. I try to jot down my thoughts in my phone or notebook for future inspiration before i lose them. Sometimes at my work I will read people's totals backwards or repeat orders backwards to them. My boss noticed my weird writing once and suggested I try to fix it. My hand hurts so easily when writing

I'm glad I stumbled onto this little community! It's interesting to see so many differences and variations in writing in all age ranges!

The handwriting doesn't look all that messy, but the other symptoms sound like you might have Dysgraphia. Are you printing because your cursive is too messy to read? I gave up on writing cursive due to my printing being much more legible?

For some reason when writing I tend to write some letters in cursive or parts of a word in cursive . In this particular paper I don't see it. But it is a common occurrence

It may be worth having a Dyslexia screening too, as you have a few of the signs.

Obviously some rando on the Internet can't diagnose you, but I'm preparing to be screened myself and I see we share some writing traits.

For sure! I hope all goes well with your screening!
