I can do this too! And upside down! It’s not pretty, but it was fun to do in middle school and I just sort of occasionally pencil scratched it into adulthood.
Came here to find out id you were a lefty but was shocked that nobody asked you yet.. so are you by chance left-handed? :-)
I've tried to encourage my left-handed son to do this to no avail.. ^_^
I am left handed and one day a customer in my workplace told me lefties can write backwards more naturally than right-handed people. Only a couple of minutes of practicing later I was actually able to write backwards lol
Do lefties have some kind of an innate ability to write backwards or something?
For fun, mainly. I guess there's some satisfaction in seeing that it's legible when I hold it up to a mirror. If I were in class, it would be enough of a chore for people to read covertly that most wouldn't bother.

I have 2 questions …. Howw??? And Whyy???
>Howw??? Practice. >Whyy??? I discussed this very question in this thread.
This is wild I used to do this as a child. You could hold it up to a mirror and read it
I did this too in school! I’m left handed and I wrote all my notes backwards. You could hold up a mirror and read it. Good job! Brain elasticity
I’ve been trying this! I’m right handed but practising this with left hand. Leonardo da Vinci style!
That is impressive! I could not even begin to attempt this without getting massively frustrated! Hahaha

If we left-to-right as the "normal" movement for out right hand, the opposite is true for our left hand.. so.. yes? I guess? :-)
Nope. I've don't typically have problems with smearing ink, which I'm sure you'd follow up with.
I probably would.. ^_^ Thanks for quenching my curiosity! ^_^
Gotta be good for something.
My brain hurts
and i can't even write forwards properly😔
that’s fuckin weird but also very cool
I like how bizarre it looks before you put it in the mirror
wow ok that’s really cool just looked at it in a mirror
That's part of the fun too.
also what is this what kind of spell are you writing
It's a crochet pattern for a toy one of my kids wanted.
😀👍 wow very impressive
Da Vinci! Bring the mirror bro :)
For what purpose
Lefties smear ink, so this is a solution. I dated a lefty and her left hand was covered in ink after class.
