I struggled with an eating disorder back in middle school and high school and I forced my handwriting to be small even though it wasn't my natural handwriting I just put in SO much effort for it to be that way because I associated small with cute
Yes! The Anorexia one is very interesting to me. I have struggled a lot with Anorexia Nervosa in these past 2 years, I almost died last year at the hospital from it. I always journaled, long before my Anorexia had become a part of my life. I noticed how when I was more malnourished, it was harder to proceed with much hand movement while writing, so my handwriting was much smaller due to convenience as it was hard to do even small tasks such as this when I was sick and weak. In combination with my obsession with wanting to write neatly and “cutely”, I HAD to write small because I was not functional and my writing was messy by default, so if I shrunk it down, it appeared neater than it was simply because it was harder to see. I also felt an urge to use strictly lowercase letters and tiny cursive letters for titles when absolutely necessary. When I was hungry and weak, it didn’t only feel safer to write smaller, but easier too. When I began to recover, my writing grew and so did a genuine legibility and neatness. I didn’t realize this was such a common experience for people with this disorder, thank you for sharing this! It really goes to show all of the little ways people can display their suffering without even meaning to.
I can kind of relate. I don’t really struggle with an eating disorder (I don’t think, but I might be at risk, not too sure), however I noticed that since I have become obsessed with my weight and wanting to lose a ton of weight that my handwriting being tiny (about 1/3 in height from wide ruled, for example), and that whenever I had moments where I suddenly wanted to lose weight much more, that my handwriting became even smaller. I also can’t write big anymore, it just looks too ugly and it is all wavy and it is barely legible.
It made me wonder about the handwriting of binge eaters going consecutively bigger with mine does without even trying and I have BED with bouts of bulimia. I’ve stabilized my weight by trying to abstain from trigger foods.
I actually stopped using capitals in my journal at a point where I was feeling really low about myself. then I graduated to using lowercase “i” as my personal pronoun. at the time I thought it was simply an aesthetic choice but I'm starting to think it may not have been-or at least not _just_ an aesthetic choice…(editing to add that another reason why I started using all lowercase was that I thought it was a sign of humility. humility has always been something I've confused with being small, which I'm now realizing is not the case.) and try as I might, whenever I journal now, I just can't go back to using capitals, although I do now vacillate between lowercase and uppercase “I” as a personal pronoun…so I guess I'm working on it!
Well, I hope it does get better for you! If you are struggling with your self esteem, remember you have worth, you are worthy of happiness and joy and I’m sure you are an amazing person. Keep working on it
To me, having high expectations of yourself goes hand in hand with low self esteem because you set the bar to an unreachable point and when you inevitably don't achieve those unrealistic expectations, you feel like a failure because you will never measure up. But you set yourself up for that failure because you are expecting far too much. More than what is reasonable. For example, expecting yourself to work out every single day and feeling like a failure even if you work out 5 times that week because you didn't work out every single day.
@@BreatheSparkleGlow It can go either way depending on the person I've had low self esteem my whole life. I berate and beat myself up for so many things. I expect perfection for myself. And I set the bar so high so that when I inevitably don't reach it it just confirms what I already think about myself. That I suck. That I'm a failure. That I can't do anything right. It's honestly messed up. Because if I had low expectations for myself, meeting those expectations would be a self esteem boost. Like okay. I got XYZ done. That's great. But instead, I set the bar so high even though I know I will never achieve it. And when I don't achieve my goals and expectations it is a self-fulfilled prophesy.
@@BreatheSparkleGlow Some ppl are overly critical of themselves and have perfectionistic tendencies, which can contribute to their low self-esteem bc they feel like nothing they ever do is "good" enough to reach the impossibly high standard they hold themselves to.
@@bunny_0288 thanks for taking the time to explain this to me. That sounds like it could really hurt sometimes - I hope you are ok and manage to find fulfilment and pride despite some goals not being realistic for you. ♥️
I thought the whole time while waiting the video.. “hmm my handwriting doesn’t have any of these things… wired because I definitely have low self-esteem” But then the last one hit me real good 😂
OMG I MISSED YOU lol (ive been off school and had nothing to do but stare at my computer) ive done absolutely nothing this weekend, im just waiting to go to therapy also i love your shirt haha
I used to have low self-esteem. I was jealous of everyone for years because of my insecurities and weaknesses. But then I made a New Year resolution to end it, because I realized something. I do not believe in society anymore. I say two words to ultimately eliminate the self-doubt that tries to attack me: screw norms. I'm almost 27, still live at home, have never had a girlfriend or a date, and I don't even have a driver's license. I have both a learning disability and ASD, and sometimes I say unfiltered things or act weird in social moments. Heck, I don't have too many friends now that I've graduated from college and most of my friends have left town. My coworkers all seem to fit in; I usually stand out. I used to feel like a misfit at work, but now I realize that it's not a big deal. It's just they're probably not my people, they're each other's only. If my ASD makes them not like me enough, that's their problem. Sure, I don't have a great filter, but it doesn't define me; nobody is perfect. I don't care if people find me weird or annoying. I don't care that my both my sisters have boyfriends and started dating at 16 while I've always been single. I don't care that I can't drive. I don't care that I appear dopey because of my learning disability. I don't care that I seem slow and helpless and do better with a guide than by myself. I don't care that I went to a small charter school and not the bigger, "greater" public high school. I don't care that I still live with my mom. I don't care about any of my weaknesses; I still have confidence in myself. It doesn't matter what others think of me, it's what I think of myself that matters. I will never fall for society's tricks again; society is buIIshit, and that would explain our government and political leaders. I say "SCREW NORMS!" I am absolutely fine the way I am, I say confidently.
Watching these videos have been such an insane insight into my life. I’ve always had crap handwriting partly because I’m left handed and partly because I was taught VIC Modern Cursive Font, then was forced to write in a printing style, then cursive. So needless to say my handwriting has changed A LOT, but there are so many “quirks” about it that you bring up that ring so true for me.
3:43 Funny story: my signature used to be my first name with the tail extending backward, crossing my own initial (the little middle line in the capital A). But it has changed. The tail no longer crosses my own name (it has evolved into a head and a tail extending outward from the name) Guess what has changed in my personality? My self-esteem ;) Another interesting thing is that in my old signature, the tail did not only cross my name, but also curve back for an underline. Crossing my name and emphasizing it at the same time, quite an interesting combo... Or who knows, maybe my subconsciousness never meant to cross my name at the time...
Leah I thought of you the other day watching Twin Peaks! There's a really quick scene in s1 when Coop analyzes Audrey's handwriting from some notes she left him and right away I was like, "Leah would know if this was accurate." Hope you are having an awesome day! ☺️🥧
When I was in high school, my handwriting was usually very neat. However, I definitely noticed that my handwriting would trail off at the end of my signature, or it would get messy as time went on. I had very low self-esteem. I also think it has to do with the fact that I would start off strong but finish weak. I was never able to finish what I started. I struggled with procrastination and task completion.
Thank you for making these videos Leah I appreciate them ... I find them super interesting and I hope you continue to make videos as long as you enjoy making them yourself! Have a great weekend
honestly, where are the sources ? these things are so generalized and minuscule i'm confused about how you could connect these very complex and abstract feelings to the way someone writes a word. i'm sure you could, i think the i's make sense, however in what circumstances are you talking about ? is it an email, a school paper, a journal entry ? there are a lot of other factors. i don't think it would be most accurate to take this video as an observable truth
The Anorexia one is very interesting to me. I have struggled a lot with Anorexia Nervosa in these past 2 years, I almost died last year at the hospital from it. I always journaled, long before my Anorexia had become a part of my life. I noticed how when I was more malnourished, it was harder to proceed with much hand movement while writing, so my handwriting was much smaller due to convenience as it was hard to do even small tasks such as this when I was sick and weak. In combination with my obsession with wanting to write neatly and “cutely”, I HAD to write small because I was not functional and my writing was messy by default, so if I shrunk it down, it appeared neater than it was simply because it was harder to see. I also felt an urge to use strictly lowercase letters and tiny cursive letters for titles when absolutely necessary. When I was hungry and weak, it didn’t only feel safer to write smaller, but easier too. When I began to recover, my writing grew and so did a genuine legibility and neatness.

I’m thinking the opposite can be true too. I’ve always written kinda big, but my writing gets even larger the longer I write. I’ve done that since I was a child. I have binge eating disorder
Just a moment to appreciate all the knowledge you gave us, and I have put it to use and analysed samples of many people and always been very accurate :D Thank you Leah, for making informative videos on graphology so precise and easy to understand✨
i would love to see a video about analysing children's handwriting! because i feel that my hand writing when i was a child drastically changed where i am now. i just feel it would be a very interesting video topic.
My school-period handwriting hits some of the signs but none of the conclusions. It's good to keep in mind and check up on ppl who show the signs, but sometimes handwriting is just handwriting
You would be an interesting teacher lmao Some teacher: " Did you grade the kids' papers?" Leah: "No, but child 1, 2, and 4 have low self esteem, child 5 is an overachiever, child 3 is very performative, and chil-"
Also I would have to disagree with some of the ideas put forth. For example, handwriting is intended to be read by another person so many will try to subconsciously augment it in a way that appears favourable to the person or persons reading it. I'm sure if you read my diary or journal you could see some issues yet if you read a personal hand-written letter by me to another person then the analysis would be different. Just something to consider I guess 🤷🏼♀️
What does it indicate if the person has: 1. No loop in the stem of the lowercase d at all. 2. If the capitals are nearly the same size (or sometimes exactly the same size) as that of the lowercase letters. 3. Sign their name as initials with family name (I for example, sign my name as R. S. Puranik instead of Rohan or Rohan Puranik).
I know I don't have the best self esteem and it's really interesting to see how you can actually see it in my handwriting, also got called out on my time managment...
4:18 I’ve noticed that one of my classmates circles their first name with the first letter of their last name. I’m not sure if that an indication of self-protection, and I’ve noticed that their handwriting is getting smaller over time. I want to check on them if they’re doing alright.
@@MeemahSN we’ve been working on a project for awhile that’s why I've noticed their handwriting. what made me concerned is that all of the sudden their handwriting changes dramatically compared to what it was at the beginning of the year
Wow, this was very interesting! I wouldn't say my self-esteem is super low (it fluctuates but the average would be feeling okay with myself, I'd say) but no. 9 is very applicable to me. I never thought my handwriting was particularly small until my parents pointed it out. I wouldn't say it's minuscule though. But I can very much relate to being focused and detail-oriented as well as not taking up much space in social settings as I'm quite introverted and prefer to stick to myself. So I found this to be very accurate!! :)
May be - shifting mindset / change of outlook towards self, others and life in general/ changing personality /sometimes lack of consistency/ different response to changing circumstances / etc..
I’ve watched several of your videos and I’m very enlightened how much there is to learn and understand and introspection. And I like how you get to the points. Easy to watch. I need to work on doing that I like to go in circles sometimes 😆
Bro really just threw in the lack of time management by writing downwards when you run out of space on a page 😭 I was like “oh the crashing bassline doesn’t apply to me but I’ll still watch this section” and then you threw in that and I was like “ well then something still applied to me I guess”
actually, having small handwriting is also correlated with moderate shortsightedness ii noticed because those people can see things that are near very well and are used to being too close to the page when reading or writing. therefore they don't struggle to decipher small handwriting.
would something still count as a false bravado if there’s large capital letters, but it immediately goes to small lettering for the lowercase letters? like, what if it’s not a gradual change in size? would it still be an indicator for compensation?
Well, I always try to mimic the basic arial font, and I try to make it as regular as possible and just don't use much capital letters because it takes time to make a beautiful capital letter. At least for me, when you say stuff like "The size of the I pronoun or the T bars indicate low self esteem", my reaction is always like "bro, nobody cares about that when handwriting". Is it just me?
I can read my own handwriting but people that look at it have always a hard time reading it. So I always say sorry beforehand. xD And I find it funny how you pronunce the Word "gestalt" it's a german Word. Actually the first time i heard some used it in english. You give so much insight to handwriting and I compare it with the handwiritng around me and sometimes my own. :D
Your videos are great Actually I love to learn psychology related stuffs like Hypnosis, body language, cold reading and also graphology. Your videos really helped me to improve my graphology skills. Now I am thinking of starting my own RUclips Channel
What would inconsistent handwriting mean? I feel like (and many others agree) that I have no set hand-writing. It’s inconsistent and changes all the time. Sometimes I capitalize, sometimes I don’t. Usually I just use proper grammar. But everything else, the way I write letters, the size I write them, etc. it changes.
Hey! I was wondering, what does it mean when a person's handwritten n,m,u,v,w look alike? It's a specific trait that I have in my style of writing but I haven't seen u mention it in any of your vids(maybe I didn't see, idk). Thank you very much!
Ignoring how attacked I feel after this video. I have a super important exam coming up in a few months, any suggestions on how to make your writing look 'clean' and 'organized' ? PS: how do I send a pic of my handwriting for analysis your way 😅
Leah, would love to see you do Chris(tine) Chan's stuff since it's been such a hot topic lately - saw some of their handwriting while they've been in prison and i thought it was super interesting
I was put in isolation a lot throughout grades 5 to 8, so I stopped giving a shit about how my writing looked. I printed and would put capital letters where ever, never punctuated anything. There's just better things to do than look good on paper.
We have a note book at work for phone messages and one former co-worker would write in all caps (taking up the whole middle and upper) except for the letter "i". She would make her "i"s in lowercase.
Hi Leah, thanks for another interesting video! I have a question. I know someone that completely omits their t bars in their writing. What would this indicate?
Woah, I wasn’t convinced that this was legit until you came to the illegibility part which indicates depression. My friend has depression and I can’t read her handwriting at all 😭
Crashing base line can happen if you are writing and looking away from the paper.. like writing a payment confirmation number that's a mile long and not wanting to loose your place 😅 I hate those long numbers like that.
Lol my handwriting is like if a drunk person was asked to write in cursive without practice and declared themselves a certified doctor bc nobody could read wtf was being written.
I struggle with eating and my handwriting is large and slanted and gets larger as it goes lol. I live my life out loud and don't have many secrets at all from my loved ones ;) But eating right is hard.
I circle around my name when I'm writing my signature (diagnosed general anxiety disorder). When I'm at the register signing my signature, I scribble it really fast, that it's usually illegible. And when I circle around it (counter-clockwise), the end of the "loop" sometimes crosses out my name.
You nailed me on two counts lol, my signature includes just my first initial and my married last name, the capitols are much larger then the lower case, interestingly, before I got married, I did spell out my first name....
for the progressively smaller, i only do that when i'm like... writing a long paper and don't have that much space. (i have big/average handwriting.) (i know it doesn't mean anything if it's because of this, but i'm just saying.)

I never thought my handwriting was particularly small until my parents pointed it out. I wouldn't say it's minuscule though. But I can very much relate to being focused and detail-oriented as well as not taking up much space in social settings as I'm quite introverted and prefer to stick to myself. So I found this to be very accurate!! :)
hi leah! im loving your new series!! super informative and interesting!! thank you so much for creating such wonderful content!!🫶🏻☺️
I have been studying this for years. And you are very good at describing these things and refreshing my knowledge. It’s very much appreciate it

Isn’t graphology a widely discredited pseudoscience?
Random question: What does it mean to have your handwriting change drastically from time to time?
May be - shifting mindset / change of outlook towards self, others and life in general/ changing personality /sometimes lack of consistency/ different response to changing circumstances / etc..
I was taking these with a grain of salt until you got to the suicidal tendencies signs and it matches my handwriting
I love the new stile of thumb nail.
I’ve watched several of your videos and I’m very enlightened how much there is to learn and understand and introspection.
And I like how you get to the points. Easy to watch. I need to work on doing that I like to go in circles sometimes 😆
number eight hit me like a damn train 😭 spot on unfortunately
the editing of this video is very pretty.
Bro really just threw in the lack of time management by writing downwards when you run out of space on a page 😭 I was like “oh the crashing bassline doesn’t apply to me but I’ll still watch this section” and then you threw in that and I was like “ well then something still applied to me I guess”
actually, having small handwriting is also correlated with moderate shortsightedness ii noticed because those people can see things that are near very well and are used to being too close to the page when reading or writing. therefore they don't struggle to decipher small handwriting.
would something still count as a false bravado if there’s large capital letters, but it immediately goes to small lettering for the lowercase letters? like, what if it’s not a gradual change in size? would it still be an indicator for compensation?
its crazy how accurate this is-
This sweater looks FANTASTIC on you
what does pressure mean??? like what does it mean if you press really hard or really soft?
Well, I always try to mimic the basic arial font, and I try to make it as regular as possible and just don't use much capital letters because it takes time to make a beautiful capital letter.
At least for me, when you say stuff like "The size of the I pronoun or the T bars indicate low self esteem", my reaction is always like "bro, nobody cares about that when handwriting". Is it just me?
Makeup routine/skincare video bc you’re glowing!!
I'm very curious! But does linking/connecting your t's T bar, when there're two next to each other, mean anything?
I can read my own handwriting but people that look at it have always a hard time reading it. So I always say sorry beforehand. xD And I find it funny how you pronunce the Word "gestalt" it's a german Word. Actually the first time i heard some used it in english. You give so much insight to handwriting and I compare it with the handwiritng around me and sometimes my own. :D
Your videos are great
Actually I love to learn psychology related stuffs like Hypnosis, body language, cold reading and also graphology.
Your videos really helped me to improve my graphology skills.
Now I am thinking of starting my own RUclips Channel
Is all of that _actually_ related to psychology tho?? My god, the science is so diluted. Still waiting on the empirical data…
this is so helpful i love ur videos so much!!💖
Yay you hit 100k!
What would inconsistent handwriting mean? I feel like (and many others agree) that I have no set hand-writing. It’s inconsistent and changes all the time. Sometimes I capitalize, sometimes I don’t. Usually I just use proper grammar. But everything else, the way I write letters, the size I write them, etc. it changes.
i used to circle my signiature and it was at a time when i was quite am anxious person 😭
Hey! I was wondering, what does it mean when a person's handwritten n,m,u,v,w look alike? It's a specific trait that I have in my style of writing but I haven't seen u mention it in any of your vids(maybe I didn't see, idk). Thank you very much!
Ignoring how attacked I feel after this video. I have a super important exam coming up in a few months, any suggestions on how to make your writing look 'clean' and 'organized' ? PS: how do I send a pic of my handwriting for analysis your way 😅
Leah, would love to see you do Chris(tine) Chan's stuff since it's been such a hot topic lately - saw some of their handwriting while they've been in prison and i thought it was super interesting
what about if you write the letter "I" without the top and bottom bars versus if you do?
I was put in isolation a lot throughout grades 5 to 8, so I stopped giving a shit about how my writing looked. I printed and would put capital letters where ever, never punctuated anything. There's just better things to do than look good on paper.
False Bravado here. It's craizy of how accurate it is.
This made my day :D
you called me out with number 10…
great video!!!
tyyyysmmmm for the video leah!! im studying graphology for a while and you has being my inspiration!! please never stop posting your videos :)
We have a note book at work for phone messages and one former co-worker would write in all caps (taking up the whole middle and upper) except for the letter "i". She would make her "i"s in lowercase.
the lowercase EVERYTHING and the small lettering is so real.. my handwriting is tiny...
According to this video I have good confidence but I am also not obsessed with myself? I impress myself with the balance I have😂
This is awesome. Gonna start putting my T bars a bit higher when writing
Hi Leah, thanks for another interesting video! I have a question. I know someone that completely omits their t bars in their writing. What would this indicate?
Finally a test I scored 100% on 😃
Woah, I wasn’t convinced that this was legit until you came to the illegibility part which indicates depression. My friend has depression and I can’t read her handwriting at all 😭
You should do another "handwriting analysis on my subscribers" video!!! Those are my favourite and I miss them so much!!!
Hello! Can you give graphology exercises to improve confidence??
I'll subscribe based solely the fact that one of my best friend's last name is the same as yours. Never seen it spelt that way otherwise
Would changing the handwriting be helpful? I don't mean radical changes, just being mindful of how one writes while doing it
Crashing base line can happen if you are writing and looking away from the paper.. like writing a payment confirmation number that's a mile long and not wanting to loose your place 😅 I hate those long numbers like that.
Lol my handwriting is like if a drunk person was asked to write in cursive without practice and declared themselves a certified doctor bc nobody could read wtf was being written.
Interesting video. I’ve always found handwriting very interesting. A complete aside… your looks remind me a lot of Princess Catherine.
Enjoyed the presentation, *thanks*
Good resolution
(like cowbells can't have enough resolution)
1:59 interesting painting left hand side
Damn I must be doing pretty well then. I don't do any of these things.
False bravado really hit home, didn't need to call me out like that 😂
I love your videos YAYY I’m so glad you posted!!😎
love this content! ur so pretty omg also whered u get that sweater its lmy favorite thing ever
my signature is all crossed.. cool cool cool
I honestly didnt really believe this but the small handwriting bit sold me at my worst my handwriting was tiny and it had never been that small
Can you analyze Jim Morrison handwriting
I struggle with eating and my handwriting is large and slanted and gets larger as it goes lol. I live my life out loud and don't have many secrets at all from my loved ones ;) But eating right is hard.
Great video! And I love your top, it really suits you
I circle around my name when I'm writing my signature (diagnosed general anxiety disorder). When I'm at the register signing my signature, I scribble it really fast, that it's usually illegible. And when I circle around it (counter-clockwise), the end of the "loop" sometimes crosses out my name.
this is way too accurate
i love your videos so much 😳🙌🏼
You nailed me on two counts lol, my signature includes just my first initial and my married last name, the capitols are much larger then the lower case, interestingly, before I got married, I did spell out my first name....
8:17 i remember the video where you analyzed ranboos handwriting/signature, he had this with his name. Not the regular writing though. Interesting.
for the progressively smaller, i only do that when i'm like... writing a long paper and don't have that much space. (i have big/average handwriting.) (i know it doesn't mean anything if it's because of this, but i'm just saying.)
What if the t bar starts lower but then goes up and connects to the top of the next letter, like in words with "th"?
I’m sorry where is the science to back this?
What if your handwriting is different on every other page
Large letters some times
Small letters some times
omg, my handwriting is all false bravado💀💀💀 thanks for this video Leah!
6:49 exactly what i thought... 😅
"using lowercase" coming for my throat right out of the gate okay
Is there scientific evidence that backs this up?
I have low self esteem but I don't match any of this
Lol same and no "graphology" is a pseudoscience there's no evidence that supports these claims
Nice sweater!
I have a question. Does this apply to people who write English as the second language?
