If you have this trait, pay special attention to this section. You cannot get involved in a new healthy relationship until you begin to trust and have the courage to take the intimacy risk. If you are saying to yourself, "I'll trust again when someone proves to me they are worthy of my trust," then you will keep talking to yourself, because you may never have a companion. The mere fact that you don't trust people (have retraced lower loops) sends out a non-verbal signal to all those around you that you are not approachable. Believe me, those who might be interested will detect this signal and avoid a relationship with you. Or haven't you noticed? What you must do is change your way of thinking so you begin to send out signals that you are approachable. It is even possible your next relationship will be with someone you already know, but you never before noticed the possibility of a romance. Check to see if your "y's" are closed. You don't want to overlook the obvious.

"Trust, but verify"...Ronald Reagan

Sometimes I refer to a stroke in handwriting as being synonymous with a personality trait or behavior. The handwriting is not the cause of the personality trait. Rather, the handwriting is merely a symbol directed by your specific brain waves which is translated into more specific neuro-muscular patterns revealing themselves in handwriting. One way to consciously interrupt this communication pattern is to change your handwriting. By changing the form of your lower case y's and g's, you are interrupting that old pattern of not trusting on a neurological level. Then, each time you notice yourself writing a lower case y or g loop, you can change the way you and your body react to the issue of trust. By removing that symbol of not trusting (retraced lower loops) you reinforce all of your conscious efforts to open up your subconscious mind to be prepared for a relationship. This is actually a very effective behavioral modification technique - changing specific handwriting strokes to reinforce personality changes.

In this case, the way you write your lower zone letters helps to symbolize your new personality which is becoming more open to a new relationship. The size of the lower zone loops have a direct correlation with intimacy and sex. The smaller the loop, the less intimacy is being experienced. The longer the loop, the stronger the sex drive or libido. Therefore, it is conceivable to have an antisocial, aggressive, or loner-type person engage in sex, but never allow intimacy to happen (a very long y without a normal loop.) This is very sad because a healthy sex life includes a deep level of intimacy with one's partner. Many men and women turn off their emotions in the bedroom to avoid emotional pain. However, this reduces the physical pleasure as well. Look for a healthy lower loop for a healthy sex and intimate life.
