Handwriting. Mine's just awful. I've tried many things over the years, like only writing with typed letters, different kinds of cursive and cursive-ish ways of writing, etc. It's gotten slightly better over the years(more or less readable for most people now), but not much more than 2 years ago it was basically unreadable for anyone but myself(sometimes, even I couldn't read it). At one point during elementary school (6th grade, I think, at 11 years old), a physiotherapist tested me to see if something was wrong with my hands, but found nothing.
I think the reason why it is this bad has to do with how we learned to write. We had this book in first grade teaching us how to write all the letters, and I hated it. For my 6 year old brain, it was basically torture, my mom had to force me to do it, which I don't think helped, either.
