My grandparents said my handwriting really sucks that I write like an 5 year old. Should I be offended?

So yesterday I wrote down a shopping list. I told them I know my handwriting is bad but at least I can read it. My grandpa said, “No it bad, it SUCKS. It sucks so bad you write like a five year old. Even your 12 year old niece writes better than you.” I have him a looks.
Then he said, “Well it’s the truth. YOU brought it up. You suck at writing but hey your mother’s handwriting sucked too so you go it from her. Told her the same thing.
My grandma said, “You’re in college and 20 years old, so your handwriting shouldn’t be this bad. Redo it.”
Man my grandparents are brutally blunt.
I know it’s true but why am I offended?
Even my late father said my handwriting SUCKS straight up.
I rewrote it and they said it is better but not excellent.

@Isthisit I mean I understand I need to improve my writing but saying that I suck that I write like a five year old and my niece could write better than me is way beyond.

@LaylaTheTallGirl yeah that is way beyond. They should be more than aware of how mean they were being

@Isthisit True. They don’t care how sensitive or autistic I am. They just call it as they see it.

Most people have terrible writing in college tbh. Taking all those notes really makes speed over legible a thing

Because it’s the truth. Your writing is SHIT! Even a 14 year old can write better than you. You can’t write outside of a cardboard box! You just can’t handle the facts. Why would we say your handwriting is good when it’s sloppy?

@PetiteJulie01 Well you’re rude
PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F
@LaylaTheTallGirl Hey don’t get mad at me, YOU asked and you’re the one that brought it up.

I will tell you an fact , the most smartest people have messy handwriting because their brains work that fast their hands struggle to keep up. You must be one of the very intelligent people.
LaylaTheTallGirl · 22-25, F
@SW-User For real?
SW-User
Yes. Its an fact.@LaylaTheTallGirl

@SW-User I guess very intelligent. I don’t know why my grandparents criticized my writing. It really hurt my feelings. My grandparents shouldn’t have said said i suck at it. So blunt

When I was 25 I re-taught myself to write so I could write neatly. Don’t worry about it for now. When life slows down a bit you can always learn to write better.

Wow your family sounds so toxic. I can understand why youd feel so hurt. They should know the effect their words could have on someone. They are being very mean!

I'm seeing that younger people are not even being taught cursive in school

with all the digital devices...we don't really need to

How old are your grandparents?
DCarey · 46-50, M
@LaylaTheTallGirl Just wondering. You know who have some of the worst handwriting in the world? Doctors.
LaylaTheTallGirl · 22-25, F
@DCarey They do?
DCarey · 46-50, M
@LaylaTheTallGirl Yes, terrible.
