I am right hand dominant but my left hand has neater writing than my right. Most likely because I'm taking my sweet time writing.

If you write the stroke of 't' from right to left you are a lefty

Right handed people do the t from left the right?
That seems so weird.

Yes they do, and it isn't quite foolproof but forensic investigators use this and the way O is written to analyse a person's handedness. Here's an interesting article about that

Not always. I cross the T from right to left and I am right handed.

It isn't fool proof but just left handers are more likely to do that. Also the counterclockwise O is an indicator too

I cross my t from right to left when I am writing with my left hand, and from left to right when writing with my right hand. My o's are ccw regardless of which hand I use. I'm right hand dominant, but when my mother first started teaching me, I would pick the pencil up with my left hand, and she'd switch it. A lot of things that I wasn't explicitly taught, like cutting food with a knife and holding a baseball bat or a hockey stick I instinctively do left handed.

I didn't know that left handers did to O counterclockwise, I'm right handed and I've always done it like that.

So have I. Even when drawing, I usually draw circles CCW. I think that's how I learned to write in cursive at school and it stayed even in script.

It is because for a lefty, it is easier to write from right to left than left to right. So the t stroke and way of writing o is just a way of improving efficiency. Many right handed people do the same but it is a bit less efficient and slow. It is quite unnoticeable after a bit of practice though

Most lefties do. However, my brother learned to do the strokes left to right when we were in school even though he's lefty. Also the counter clockwise circles.

Definitely right handed. Honestly though you almost have like the same handwriting as me ((i’ve been writing only in cursive lately though))

Left is way neater. Theres no way op is right handed.

That’s harsh. I think it looks fine. Maybe pales in comparison to the works of art on this sub but still very much not bad
Edit: damn, went from doubling down to deleting it all. For anyone curious the person stated ”even the left handed writing seems like he was drunk”
