so today were gonna be answering questions bc-
there was 48 hrs at least where I was so overwhelmed
I felt like if I didn't respond to every comment, then
I can't respond to any comments
so today were gonna be answering a bunch of questions
from the comments. FIRSTQUESTION!
ok so
I feel like I talk about this, but I don't talk about this enough
handwriting analysis has alot to do with the gestalt
which means the bigger picture
so thats why oftentimes I don't make
videos that just explain traits
I prefer doing videos that analyze a person's writing
bc when u take the traits out of context,
thats when you're going to find more exceptions
when you stack up traits with other traits, thats how you
can tell:"oh ok this has a higher
probability of being true"
like if you only see one trait that indicates immaturity,
it could be the case that the writer's immature,
but you wanna have like a couple
traits that indicate immaturity
for you to say, oh the writer's probably immature
same thing goes with self-esteem
if you've got high self-esteem t-bars
but everything else in the writing would indicate that the writer
has low self-esteem,
you kindof have to look at the gestalt
in that situation and be like:oh okay
you need to write words that include letters from
all 3 zones
if for some reason you sentence doesn't contain any lowerzone letters
or for some reason doesn't contain any upper zone letters
its like solving a crime with not all the evidence
I like having alot of different samples, I really like
having samples from different time periods
to kindof see how the writer's changed and evolved
bc like also everything's relative too.
its like:oh this writer has high self esteem,
but you see a year ago it used to be even higher
or it used to be lower,
then you can see, oh this person has improved their self esteem
or , oh this person's self-esteem has actually gone down
but yeah you can still send me your handwriting
however, editing Leah, can you show them what my emails look like
great thank you, can you show what my DM's look like
great thank you
so I hope that gives you little bit of context for if I
can't respond to emails or I don't respond to DMs
I used to do subscriber handwriting analysis videos
once a month, and I will go back to doing that soon,
its just I've gotten alot of new handwriting samples that
I'm really really excited about that I wanna get into
so I might be pushing some subscriber analysis videos a little bit,
but Ipromise I will get to those soon
because those are really fun. even though those are more high effort videos
because instead of 1 analysis, I'm doing
3, 4 sometimes 5
but yeah I love those videos, I'll never stop making those videos
yes you can send your handwriting,
just DON'T SEND IT TO MY BUSINESS EMAIL
and honestly do yourself a favor and email it to me
instead of DM'ing it to me
bc instagram deletes my DMs
if I don't respond to them after a certain amount of time
so do yourself a favor don't send it to DMs, don't send it
to my business email
yeah I hope that helps!
I really appreciate it when people send me their handwriting
people can be shy they're like oh is it ok
is this ok? I know you get alot of emails'...
yeah I do get alot of emails but thats kindof-
id prefer to have too much handwriting than
nothing. soooo
so when you look at your handwriting
you will see that you write differently in different
situations that you're in whether thats
a physical setting like whether your writing in your diary
versus writing your notes at school
you'll see differences there, you'll also see differences
if your in a different emotional state
even if you're in a different physical position
on the bus your writing is gonna look different
from if you're in a comfortable position
from if your scrunched between your classmates at school
your handwriting is gonna look different.
you will always find variations in your handwriting
you can still analyze your handwriting, just focus your
analysis on what stays the same because
there will be traits that stay the same through out all
of these different scenarios that
you go through. there will be things that stay the same.
base your analysis on what stays the same, not what changes
but if the changes happen like really frequently, id suspect
that the writer just has really mood-dependent handwriting
and id also hypothesize further that the writer
probably feels emotions really really deeply
if you're handwriting really changes that much that significantly
id hypothesize the writer probably feels emotions very very deeply
and thats why their handwriting changes so much because there is
no middle ground for them. they're either super
supper happy or super super sad
I think thats what I'd c include if I was looking
at someone who's handwriting has that much variation in it
this is just a comment so I can't see the handwriting for myself
I can't see if the writing is actually that inconsistent
but yeah thats what I say about inconsistent handwriting
I felt the same same exact way
when I first started learning about this stuff
ppl ask me how I got into this,
I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole.
im sure u can relate:D
I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole, then I started
testing out these traits on my friends
to see- because I was skeptical! I was skeptical at first
and I wanted to test these out on my friends
and I started learning which traits were more true,
which traits had more exceptions,
and I started studying independently from there
looking at different books, looking at what different graphologists say
because graphology is super controversial
and I would practice on people!
for anyone who's trying to learn more about graphology
like, my videos are awesome, because
I practice graphology on people, I don't
just read out of books although I love books
I also put this sh*t in practice and see like
what stuff has more exceptions, what stuff doesn't have as many exceptions
cuz thats where I learn the most
that wasn't even a question this is just a tangent
a lot of graphologists won't analyze print
bc they think that print hides too many traits
and they prefer to only analyze cursive
or stuff thats in the palmer method
I prefer to analyze handwriting that
the writer writes in most often
because if you're really out of practice in writing in cursive or in print
alot of the differences you're gonna see is just
because you're out of practice and you're not used to it
so its not gonna tell me as much about the person
its more gonna tell me how sh*tty they are at cursive
but if the writer truly writes like 50/50
like the writer writes half the time in cursive, half the time in print
and the writing is- hi
and the writing actually is that significantly
different from each other and they write 50/50
then I have no idea
but usually there's stuff that stays the same
usually its like size, pressure, zones.
I literally answered that question with "I dont know"
bot sometimes I don't know
ok doctor handwriting is interesting because
doctors have to fill out so many forms and
sign so many papers that their writing
turns into this scribbly mess just because they have
so many patients and so their writing gets messy
due to efficiency
so in this case it doesn't necessarily mean that they're unhappy
in this case if you're looking at the handwriting of a doctor
I would say look and see if there are other traits of unhappiness
showing up if you're tryna tell
if this doctor in your life is unhappy or if
they're just... a doctor
is there a pessimistic baseline?
are there low t-bars?
is there a small personal pronoun I
are they scribbling out their name in their signature
look for those other signs of unhappiness
versus if you see someone with really illegible handwriting
generally, uh you know, its math
if you have more confident traits showing up
even though you may have one unhappy trait
then you're probably a more confident person
versus if you have more unhappy traits,
but you have 1 confident trait
it kindof cancels out.
its kindof math in that way.
ppl in my comments will freak out sometimes and they'll take
a trait out of context
like I said, that's why I don't really just list out traits
because you just have to make a bunch of disclaimers
about exceptions and I prefer
ehh I think you understand
"my signature has the cross thing but instead of crossing my last name, it crosses my first name"
I talked about this a little in the Jeffrey Dahmer video
I'm not saying that this person in the comments is a serial killer
lets just write my name. sooo
lets say instead of writing my name like this I wrote it like:
and like idk somehow my name got
my first name got crossed out
it means self loathing thats just directed at yourself
it doesn't have anything to do with your family
it doesn't have anything to do with like
you blame someone else for how you were raised like
" I hate myself because depression runs in my family, etc."
however, some exceptions to this, I have heard
of this traits happening to people who simply don't like their first name.
people who, have changed their name for some reason or another
or just simply don't like their name
maybe they have the same name as their mom
or they have the same name as their dad and they hate their dad
that would be an exception
and of course there are exceptions to everything
ppl in the comments like to tell me "oh Leah you never talk about exceptions"
well today I'm gonna talk about exceptions every 5 seconds
so generally it means self-loathing
so I hope your doing alright, I hope you're an exception <3
alright thank u :D
so this is what they're talking about.
when you have anything other than a dot or a slash
going on in your i-dot
some graphologists will say this is an indicator of immaturity
it can be an indicator of immaturity
but I don't like pointing fingers and saying "immature"
usually it just means the writer is a little bit quirky,
they're a little bit different, sometimes its trying to be different
but yeah the writer's just a little bit quirky.
you're mom's not totally wrong. it can be a sign of immaturity
but I would only point fingers and say "immaturity"
if I was seeing other signs of immaturity in the writing
in the video I say like
"I know you're eating right now" I said something like that
I said something like that
I do post my videos around lunch time on Mondays
like Mondays around 1, at least New York time.
unless I m behind on editing
often im editing until the last minute
hopefully that won't be the case soon bc im going to see if I can work less hours at work
so I don't need to go crazy every week
but yeah um
it was an educated guess.
it was a hypothesis
my whole channel is just one big hypothesis so-
often times when the last name
ok were gonna be John smith
when you have a bar in your last name, it makes it easier to cross out your last name
but they're saying, can this still happen if you don't have a t?
yeah :D
you could figure out some way to cross out your name
its like, all in your subconscious
like this subconscious wanting to scribble out.
but I have seen it happen before
one of my coworkers from work
I'm not gonna write her actual name
ill kinda try to show you what it looked like
first name super legible, last name really illegible.
pretty threaded
generally if they'res anything crazy going on
with the last name, it indicates there's something going on with the family.
whether its super illegible because they don't wanna even think about their family
this are the sort of hypotheses Iwould draw from that
but like since I was doing a live analysis
I just asked straight up I was like
what's your relationship with your father like?
because its the father's last name
and she like panicked and she was like
skskshdhbhbhksjkd
that was kindof a long tangent but to answer your question, yes
so thats how i approach irreggularities in the last name.
I can't find the comment right now but there were
there are always a few questions asking for like book recommendations
im gonna put those in the description
its really hard to find free PDFs on handwriting analysis
alot of the textbooks you'll find on eBay or amazon
they're like $50
if anyone finds a really cheap handwriting text book, let me know
I'm gonna include in my description some links
to my favorite PDFs. one is from the 80s
so the language is super dated, alot of the traits, I don't like
bc they're like super specific for no reason
and have a lot of exceptions
but there is alot of good stuff in that one from the 80s
and then there's a newer one I think from 2009?
or something. that I like a lot
I think that one's my favorite.
both of those books are really good tho
if you like letter specific traits,
im not the biggest fan of letter specific traits
but I think they can be helpful
especially when you keep in mind the gestalt
ill include the link the the handwriting website that
I like looking at for letter specific stuff
but I honk the best way to learn about graphology is
literally putting into practice
this is what I do I test my
I test my handwriting analyses skills
on friends, family, etc.
"this is so cool also I was whether back slants/forward slants
can alternate based on whether the writer associates what they're writing
with their trauma or not?"
yes! 100 % yes!
and it can be more than just trauma related
its basically anything the writer's uncomfortable talking about
so it could be like, if the writer is lying,
it could be just if the writer is uncomfortable talking about something
like maybe their not comfortable with having someone over
or maybe they're uncomfortable about their birthday
like random insecurities
it doesn't necessarily have to be trauma related
although it definetly can be as well.
for example:
this is an extreme example
but this is how it would show up. its like,
what ever your normal slant is:
I'm uncomfortable asking about money
so its a backslant
or ill notice it, like I was analyzing a friend's handwriting
it was in another language, I think I may have talked about this before
she was writing the lyrics to a song in Spanish
Ican't read Spanish
there was a paragraph that was backslanted
and I was like "are you writing about something
particularly sad?
and she's like: "yes"
of course there are exceptions
ppl in the comments like to roast me
and call me a clown because they think I don't know what exceptions are
but exceptions exist
if you decide after watching my video to roast me in the comments,
just- why?
if me and my subscribers wanna look at handwriting
and have some fun can you let us do so in peace?
we're not hurting you
we're not hurting anyone
I'm not bringing down the entire field of psychology with me
just let us have fun okay?
I think ive talked my head off
alright I hope you had fun!
ok she- she wants down
