    I have what many would call a bizarre or incorrect way to hold a writing utensil, and after a certain age hit and I was already used to it and found it worked for me, I began getting loads of lowkey criticism from people at school who constantly tried to remark how “incorrect” it was.

      I had the same experience. A teacher even tried to break me of the habit in elementary school by making me write 100 sentences “the correct way” while the rest of the class got to watch a movie. That just gave me 100 chances to realize how much I hated “the correct way”.

          Not even, just an extra assignment for me. I did get poor grades in handwriting (an unofficial category on the report card) all the time, I think I was always destined to be a computer keyboard person.

            Handwriting as in print or handwriting as in cursive? We weren’t even allowed to do the latter in my school (which is probably good, mine sucks too, though people say my print is model tier).
