Have you ever wondered why each of us has different handwriting? Handwriting, also known as brain writing, is as individual to the person as fingerprints. Occupations, relationships, personal problems as well as health related issues can be identified in a person's writing. Analyzing handwriting goes back to the 1600s and originated in Europe. Confucius is quoted as saying "beware of a man whose writing sways like a reed in the wind".
Ok, you ask, so what traits can be found while analyzing handwriting? Many traits can be shown provided the writing is in cursive, because printing has some limitations. Cursive provides the analyst with the upstrokes in writing which are very important.
Many personality traits including being outgoing, temper, anger towards the opposite sex, sexual deviations, generosity, broadmindedness, lying nature and hundreds more can be found when analyzing handwriting.
Handwriting does have limitations. Handwriting cannot tell the writer’s gender, whether they are left or right handed, their age or their race. It also cannot tell the future or the past.
Handwriting is very interesting because not only can you change your personality and watch your writing change as well, but also the reverse is true! Sometimes there are personality traits that we wish we did not have, but we didn’t know how to get rid of them. One way to change your personality is to use handwriting therapy, also known as graphotherapy. The person learns how to change their writing to rid themselves of unwanted traits, and practices this under the watchful eye of a trained graphologist. Handwriting analysis is becoming a recognized part of therapy.
Children may even benefit from having their handwriting analyzed, which must be analyzed differently than an adult’s writing. May be a child has a problem concentrating at school, or seems to show anger, or they tend not to catch on as quickly as other children. These issues can be dealt with successfully using graphotherapy.
Analyzing handwriting has many different facets. For instance, it is used in the court of law when dealing with document forgery. Companies are beginning to hire handwriting analysts to assist them in finding the right person for the right job. This is because handwriting analysis is a science – it is not guesswork. It is used as a tool to determine the compatibility of an individual to the requirements of a job as well as the compatibility of one individual to another.
All in all, handwriting analysis is very interesting and has endless possibilities. Next time you see someone’s signature or handwriting, you now know that this person’s personality is right out there in front of you, just waiting to be discovered !

Urgent_Please advice me!
By: Christin | 20-07-2008
Hi, I have a terrible story to tell you, there was a rumour about a guy whom i work with that he has kids, then a coworker asked me if he was single or not as she was interested in him, i told her that he has kids, however the girl is gone now and it is been like a month and he came up to me NOW and told me why did i tell her he has kids, he had no kids, he told some poeple one day as a joke and it seems that they spread the news. I feel terrible for being the reason to seperate the two of them for something that was not true, so i told him that i will contact her and tell her all the truth, he told me well it is too late now as he has told her the truth, but she told him that it makes no differnce as she quit liking him since I told her about the kids and it is when things started going downhill. I feel terrible,I did say sorry, but ofcourse it still feels teriible. I feel like I am a bad person. He is not mad at me, he tried to hug me as I got very emotional about it, which feels even worse but I left immediately. What should I do?
In a relationship for 5 years but in love with another man
By: wishfulthinking | 20-07-2008
I have been in a relationship with a man for 5 years. When we met and started dating, I will admit I did not have any real passionate feelings for him and unfortunately still do not to this day but he is a perfectly wonderful man in every other respect. I have also had a male friend who I have kept in regular contact with for the past 6 years and have been in love with for almost that same amount of time. We have never initiated a relationship but we were on the cusp of exposing our feelings a few times throughout the duration of my relationship with my boyfriend. Now my boyfriend is wanting to propose, and I begin to freak out. I reveal to my crush that i have had feelings for him throughout our friendship and we reveals he also has feelings for me (I am not sure if they are quite as strong as mine, however). But, he says he is afraid it wont work because he lives in Hawaii and I on the east cost of the US (he is in the military). I dont know what I should do. My boyfriend is a perfect man but i cant seem to want to commit my life to him. And crazy enough, I am in love with this other man and would be willing to give up my life (my job, being in school {which i found out I could take a year off from}), which is very much unlike me and live with him until he would be deployed to Iraq next October. I am depressed that I have let it go this far with both men and not making a real decision on my life. What should I do? what are your ideas?
Mental time loop?
By: Andrew. E | 20-07-2008
Whilst I was asleep people making noise outside caused me to become aware of my surroundings whilst asleep. They then somehow held me in a state where they could see what I was going to do in the future. Since then I have been stuck in a mental time loop and keep having conversations in my head that take place between the time of the incident and the present time. It`s very confusing and frustrating, any advise on how to deal with it?

By: wondering79 | 20-07-2008
is this some sort of ocd or something. I have this habit really it's more than a habit it's all the time . it's kinda hard to explain and i feel kinda dumb talking about it like i should be able to control it and just stop. but I scratch and gouge my scalp till i leave scars. I've notice i do it alot in the car and when i'm stressed but most of the time it just whenever. It hurts so bad sometimes but it's like i can't stop till i have a hole in my head. Lord help me if my fingers find an old scar... just to leave a new one. Thank god for long hair so no-body knows except the random hair dresser. i'm so tired of it.. i'm tired of the pain i'm inflicting when i'm doing it... the sting i get when washing my hair from the soap and water.. the guilt i fell when i do it.. what is wrong with me and why can't i just stop
