Can you handle a little honest feedback?
The loops in certain letters in your handwriting reveal
how sensitive you really are to criticism.
The size of the loop in the stem of the letter 'd' reveals how
sensitive someone is to personal criticism.
Take a look at the lower case 'd.' If it is huge like an inflated
balloon - you had better be careful with your words. A narrow
stem with no loop means the person doesn't exaggerate or imagine
other people's critical thoughts. The bigger the loop - the more
intense the fear of criticism.
Watch out for huge balloon-like 'd' loops. These people usually
imagine untrue motivations from those around them, and
eventually turn on them.
In a phrase: words hurt. What people say or what we think they
think can hurt worse than sticks or stones. This is one of the
most common of emotional roadblocks.
The analogy I like to use is this. Imagine you have an open
wound on your arm. You would most likely create a bandage,
a sling, or simply be very careful not to expose it to any of
the elements. One grain of salt could really cause a lot of pain.
People's negative thoughts or negative comments are like
grains of salt being shoved into that open wound. When this
occurs, you can't help but react. People react by running away
or fighting back.
People with large loops in their lower case d-stem are very
sensitive. You must watch these people carefully, as they are
often irrational in their assessments of criticism.
The best-case scenario is that I don't have a loop in my 'd.' It
doesn't bother me if you laugh at my butt or tell me I walk
funny. What if the wound on your arm spontaneously healed?
No matter how much salt I threw at you, you would feel no pain.
Re-Tracing The D-Loop Is Like Healing An Open Wound.
Does fear of criticism make a person bad? No. Does it make for
a bad employee? Not necessarily. It does make us have strained
relationships with those around us. Other people have to walk on
eggshells around a d-loop person's sensitive feelings.
I would go so far as to say a very large balloon shaped d-loop
is usually a big negative. A large fear of criticism usually
causes the person to lean on his defense mechanisms to handle
the imaginary pain he feels.
Do you have a loop in the lowercase 'd'? A totally retraced
short d-stem means that you don't give a hoot about what
people think about you. You can still have compassion without
being irrational and without feeling the emotional pain.
Wouldn't that be a nice way to relate to people?
If you have big loops in the 'd' or 't' - and you are tired of
feeling unnecessary emotional pain - retrace the letters and
make it a habit. Changing your handwriting to change your
personality characteristics is called grapho-therapy, and it works.
I changed the way I looped my 'd' when I was just fourteen
years old. It made a huge difference. And, as a bonus - my
sarcasm that used to hurt people's feelings turned to wit.
When you aren't as sensitive, there is no need to lash out
and hurt people.

QUESTION: Is handwriting analysis an invasion of privacy?
ANSWER: No, but it could make someone feel a little naked. Seriously,
the Supreme Court in 1977, 'United States v. Sydney
Rosinsky' (FRP249),
ruled: 'What someone's handwriting looks like is considered public
information -- similar to, for example, how someone dresses or their body
language, and the psychological analysis that can be extracted from the
information is not considered an invasion of privacy.'
