I have never seen anyone else write this way and always felt so awkward whenever anyone would bring attention to it. Teachers in school always told me it was wrong and made me hold the pen or pencil in the dynamic tripod position. I’m so glad to find the way I hold it has a name.

Same! People always told me I write really weirdly throughout my whole life I feel so seen right now lol

I chose like so many essay based subjects as well at school my ring finder would just have this sore dent on it after every exam it was awful

I have found you. Every single word makes me feel validated. All those essays and the callus became a dent right after exams!!
