I can't write. I write like I'm 7 years old. Actually a 7 year old probably writes better than me. My writing gas always been child like. Its getting worse though. I probably only pick up a pen a handful of times a year. The feel on my fingers feels strange. Anyway its really bad.

Op your writing is fine
Adult literacy problems are very real and throw in digital illiteracy and modern life is extremely difficult.
Not everyone has a capability to learn.

Try a smoother pen as well so writing feels a little more comfortable. I recommend Uniball Air pens to some of my students as they write like a dream.
Your writing is legible and fine!

It’s better than mine, genuinely. I can spell but my writing looks like a 5 year olds. I don’t care anymore, just can’t be arsed. I blame keyboards.

Honestly, I have a dyslexic son and DH, that writing is fine!! You should see theirs, bless them!

I didn't know dyslexia effects writing . Learn something new everyday

be honest OP, would you look down on someone for having writing like yours? If not, stop caring. Those that matter don't mind and those that mind don't matter :)

I had lovely handwriting as a teenager, but it’s appalling now due to lack of use.

Yours is fine, OP.

Same @ AppropriateAdult - it's muscle memory, use it or lose it. I actually get a bit embarrased about my terrible scrawl......

Looks okay to me op
