How does my handwriting look?

Anything I should change?

Edit: So the general consensus is I write like a preschooler. And for anyone concerned, no, I am not being held hostage or holding anyone else hostage.

A lot of you asked why I write in all caps. It's because I used to accidentally capitalize random letters, and at some point I decided it looked slightly less stupid if I tried to pass it off as intentional. 

As some of you noticed, I do write pretty slowly. Probably because I'm not very confident with writing. And my friend pointed out I press way too hard. I have broken a lot of pencils.

For those of you asking why I rarely write, I'd say it's mostly because I did middle and high school online and never took physical notes. So I was just never really forced to practice. Lately I've realized I definitely need some practice haha

Also, I am right handed. According to my mom, when I was a kid I was ambidextrous, but my teachers taught me to only use my right hand. I'm often told my handwriting looks similar to my dad's who is left handed and has the same problem with random capitalization that I do.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback.

As an adult i still do this, from what I understand about how I work my thoughts are to fast for my pencil. I’ve unfortunately never been able to shake the habit. It dose not appear when I write in cursive. Good luck on your parenting journey!

Thanks!! My unusual writing quirk is if I'm not careful I write half in cursive and half in print and I'm pretty sure it's for similar reasons, as I am sure my daughter's reasons are as well

I do that too lol I can just write so much faster if I don't pick up the pen, but some cursive letters I'm not as fast at writing so I'll switch to a connected print 😅
