Do you get stressed signing your signature?

[Upallnightfeeding]

Just that really, do you get stressed out signing your signature for important documents etc?

I always have and I don’t know why! In the back of my mind I feel like whoever it is will judge my signature or dispute who I am if my signature doesn’t match…

Am I being crazy and should relax or is this a normal thing? Light hearted please! Don’t suggest I need therapy etc… I am aware a lot of people will think I am weird!

No. My signature looks wildly different every time I use it. It's pointless so I don't worry about it!

I’m left-handed and sign every letter of my name, unlike DH’s RH squiggle. He sometimes comments that it takes me ages to sign my name - 10 letters, fgs!! 🙄- but also that it always looks the same or at least identifiably similar.

Left handers have to push the pen across the paper - much harder to generate a squiggle when writing in all the languages that start on the left of a page.

Can't even remember the last time I signed my name in pen on anything.

No reason you couldn't develop a right-to-left squiggle…?

A close friend used to have same issue, it is definitely a thing.

Yes, it mildly stresses me and overthinking it makes me lose the flow so it doesn't look like my signature and I sometimes have to write a new cheque or print the signature page again.

Nope, mines a very easy squiggle based on my maiden name (didn’t see the point in changing it when I got married)

Same as me, I never changed my signature when I changed my name. It’s a vague squiggle of my maiden name.

and no, I don’t worry about it at all. It usually looks about right.

Yes, if there is a box to keep within

No, I do it every day, multiple times a day.
It sometimes looks the same but is always obviously my signature rather than someone else’s.

I used to find it stressful but I spent the first 3 years of my career having to sign my name every single day, sometimes multiple times. So I got to the point it was just automatic.

Yep

YES! I feel such pressure and it always looks shit.

Remember when you had to sign the receipt at the supermarket? I once spelt my name wrong under the pressure.

Eh?
No.

No.I have very good handwriting .I am always complimented on my signature .especially by younger folk .Good handwriting is probably going to be a thing of the past.

I get the 'this is a grown up thing and I don't want or feel grown up' type feeling but not seriously effected by it no

Oh get a grip - the OP herself said a lot of people will think I am weird - I was lightheartedly agreeing with her, hence the GRIN afterwards!

Not exactly stressed, but I write so infrequently now compared to typing that I feel a bit awkward using a pen! I wrote a cheque the other day, probably for the first time in at least 2 years and I was a bit anxious in case the recipient had it declined because I had done something stupid!

@Oysterbabe i feel that 😂

And thank you everyone, I feel like I’m somewhat not alone in this! I kinda wish maybe I had a role like a lot of comments on here that forced me to sign multiple times a day everyday then it wouldn’t be so daunting every time I need to sign for something super important

@MrsAvocet there is an element of writing things feeling foreign. I hardly write things down these days, thinking back to my school days it’s crazy to think I wrote whole essays on pen and paper, mind blowing now! 😂
