hello :D
I really tried filming this video but then I got overwhelmed by the samples
because This video- its gonna be a MARATHON.
please buckle up its gonna be a buffet.
its gonna be an all you can eat buffet
So I’ve been analyzing writing for a while now
usually how I pick my samples is either
from what im interested in, like my own interests,
or I look at what people suggest to me in the comments
or I look at what people tag me in on instagram
or I look at what people email me to my handwriting email
and recently ive had it recommended to me to to try analyzing a system with Dissociative identity Disorder
and see what the different alters writing in the system looks like.
and how they differ and how they are similar
And I even had a couple different systems reach out to me and send me some samples
So I’ve been collecting samples and I figured,
why analyze one system, when I can analyze 4.
each system sent me 4-6 samples from different alters
yeah I have 21+ samples to look at
I’m nervous. I’m excited. but im more excited :D
I’m gonna get handwriting fatigue.
And maybe you’re wondering, “oh LEah
if your so overwhelmed by the samples, why dont you just analyze 1 system?"
the reason why I picked to do as many systems as I could,
is because since I feel like
the majority of people have never seen what a system's writing looks like
so I dont want to just show 1 system
and the n have ppl, myself included, make the false assumption
of "oh every system's writing will exhibit these patterns"
or "every system's handwriting is gonna look like this."
so I want to give people a broader sense of what a DID system
or osdd system's writing looks like.
also my idea was If i have multiple systems,
then maybe i can point out the patterns that I see carry through to other systems.
and we can ideally have a better idea of what analyzing a system's writing is like.
does that sound good amber?
and of course these are only 4 systems
and it's just me and Amber looking at the writing today
so this isn’t like an official experiment,
and ill make that very clear to everyone watching: this is NOTan official experiment
in fact, nothing I do on my channel is an official experiment
cause I might miss traits or forget about something
im not a scientist
I dont have any degrees in anything.
I just know a lot about the traits
and im going to be sharing with you the traits that I notice
and what they would indicate to me
im describing the traits , im not necessarily describing the writer
if the traits do line up and resonate with the writer,
thats great, usually they do because
ive been doing this for a long time, I like to think I know what im doing
but if they dont, woopdeedoo its ok
im not a professional. I know my editing is pretty decent
and likes to make me look like a professional,
but I- im not a professional aaaa
Also if you like to learn more about DID or OSDD my channel is not the place for that.
I know the packet book condensed version
I won't be able to give you any deep knowledge.
please do your own research or check other channels.
but should we look at our first system?
so this is our first system and this system told me that
they have adhd and Tourette's in the email
personally I haven't looked at enough samples of writing with ADHD or tourette’s side by side to know of any recurring patterns for that
maybe I’ll try doing that in a future video
like ive looked at friend's writing with adhd, but ive never
but ive never like put a bunch of ADHD samples next to each other
and try to see if there are any recurring patterns
same with tourette's
so idk maybe ill do that in a future video but
were getting ahead of ourselves. first thing ill do
is ill put all the alters writing next to each other.
I notice the biggest differences in terms of the writing rhythmically speaking.
and what do I mean by rhythm-
its easier to see it than explain it so editing Leah:
can u show what someone with a tense jerky rhythm looks like?
Great, now can you show someone with a cautious, careful rhythm?
awesome thank u
Now can you show what a broken, unpredictable rhythm looks like?
Thank you thank you. Everyone. Round of applause for editing leah.
So its hard to describe with my words what rhythm entails,
if I HAVE to, I’d say rhythm has a lot to do with the amount of tension in the muscles
and how that manifests in the writing.
because handwriting is your brain sending a signal to your hand
alot of people in my comments are like AAAA this is full of SH%T
we just write the way we were taught to write
and is like yes to a certain extent but like your brain has to send that signal through your muscles.
so thats kind of what I mean when I say rhythm.
and How much tension a writer’s muscles have i find in my experience
mainly affects pressure, slant, uniformity or lack thereof and angularity or lack thereof.
Other handwriting analysts might disagree with me
but that's what I mean when I’m talking about handwriting in terms of its rhythm.
im talking mainly about muscular tension or lack thereof
and I feel like the amount of muscular tension a writer has,
REALLY tells you a lot about how much emotional tension they have
And when I look at the writing from this system,
I see a lot of variation in the amount of muscular tension from each alter
or another words i see a lot of variation in the writing’s rhythm,
but I will say, I don’t see as much variation in the zones, overall size, and space between lines and words.
so what I would attribute that to is probably muscle memory
like muscle memory will probably have everyone in the system
writing with the same zones, and like spatial, like between letters and words
and in this case it affects size too
but yeah im seeing the most variation in terms of muscular tension
aka the rhythm aka the writing's rhythm.
and you know when I think about what I know about did and dissociative disorders
and people in the comments PLEASE correct me if I’m speaking out of line here,
but alot of what dissociative disorders are,
and its not just this but alot of what they are is
the brain creating these barriers of amnesia so certain alters hold trauma in the system, and certain alters don’t.
or hold less or hold different trauma.
So it makes sense to me that when I look at the writing that most of the variations are in the writing’s rhythm than anything.
Like certain alters hold a lot of muscular tension, or rhythm variations,
while other alters hold relatively less tension, or if not less tension, just different tension.
like if you look at the difference between blank and Vincent
both alters clearly have a lot of tension,
but its manifested differently.
there are still are differences in latter formations though don't get me wrong.
like Vincent has very long upward slanting bars
and Noah has different angular formations in his as
that other alters dont have
but overall I see the biggest variations in the rhythm.
and the alters are still very different from each other nonetheless although they share the same body
so they still have these letter variations I mentioned,
but It does make sense to me that I’d see the MOST variation in terms of rhythm.
So that’s my current theory based on what I’m seeing so far,
ill speak a little more about the alters though.
We could play our little game where we ask questions
Wanna play? Okay
we wont play at maximum difficulty.
But first question: given the writing, who do you think is the most responsible?
For me its a fight between Tessa and Zoe.
the other alters have just a lot more letter variation
and unstable baselines and unstable slants,
which indicates that in relation to Tessa and Zoe, they’re a lot more unpredictable.
Zoe just has a really forward slant though
which would indicate impulsivity,
like, she has a lot of logical traits too so it probably isnt like a MASSIVE issue for her,
but in comparison to Tessa, Tessa has more restraint.
She has no slant which indicates head over heart,
more thoughtful person,
yeah I’d bet that Tessa is the most responsible out of all these samples.
Like she’s also got the most rigid rhythym, so she’s probably not the most flexible alter in the system,
but if I was a betting woman(which sometimes I am) I’d give the most responsible award to tessa.
Next question: who’s the most unpredictable?
this one is like medium difficulty.
Right now the contenders I’m looking at are Florida, Noah and Vincent
because they all have traits of unpredictabiliity
in their writing with the erratic slants and erratic baselines,
but I’d say Vincent has the most extreme erratic changes
in his baseline and his letter formations.
Because you see all traits that I talk about are on a spectrum.
Like the more erratic the baseline the more erratic the person same with almost every trait in the book.
but Lets quick compare and contrast florida and Noah though here
because these writers have VERY similar graphological traits,
so I’d wonder if they have the most in common out of all these alters.
I will point out the differences though incase people are wondering at home because there are differences that are there although theyre very slight.
Firstly Noah has more curve to his lowerzone formations,
while florida has more angles,
and Noah has more angles in his middle zone,
like specifically im looking at his a, its even kind of a felon’s claw thing
while Florida doesn’t really have that in their a’s.
If you don’t know what a felon’s claw is, its a really dated term honestly
the more I think about it and the more I work on graphology
different graphologists but heads on what this trait means,
butI find it usually indicates a person who self sabotage’s them ,
themselves due to this deep rooted inner guilt.
Felon’s claw formations can appear anywhere,
usually they’re in the lowerzone, (y, g,j etc.)
which would indicate some sort of sexual guilt most of the time,
but for Noah it's in his a’s which is the middle zone,
middle zone’s represent like day-to-day communication,
like how you interact with people in your day to day life
so maybe there’s some sort of guilt there?
Like in how they are in their everyday life? Instead of how they are sexually per say?
I dunno just a thought
I’ll quickly talk about blank here.
very dramatic writing uh
Writing with this much pressure takes A LOT of energy.
Heavy pressure would also indicate violent tendencies, lashing out, just being very intense for lack of a more descriptive word.
I know I mentioned violence, but I’m also seeing some indicators of insecurities and depression present in this writing aswell
with the lack of capitalizing anything, the low t bars, the slightly smaller size, the pessimistic/almost crashing baseline,
so I don’t think those potentially violent tendencies I mentioned are ever directed at anyone else.
at least intentionally
so I think this alter is more of a menace to themselves than anything.
I hope they're doing okay
