Word spacing in handwriting relates to your ‘space’ in relation to other people around you. Word spacing can indicate whether you’re an easy, go-with-the-flow type of person or a more arm’s length type of person. Your word spacing can also reflect your style of speech, whether you talk quickly or in a more paced, relaxed manner.
If there is a nice visual balance between the space between your words, this suggests that you are likewise well balanced and have a good sense of boundaries between yourself and others. Your balanced word spacing also indicates you are reasonable, quite self-confident and are likely at ease in social settings. It also indicates you’re likely comfortable whether alone or in the company of others as well as a clear thinker.
If the space between your words is narrow, this does suggest you seek contact with others and have a strong desire to maintain constant relationships. Your narrow word spacing also suggests you may think, talk or act with minimal reflection. Very narrow word spacing can suggest you give advice freely (perhaps too freely), and your judgments are based on feelings. In addition, there is some insecurity that can be an integral part of close word spacing and some inclination toward occasional periods where you can feel isolated or lonely (resulting in you more strongly reaching out to others to compensate).
Wide word spacing suggests you’re not one to allow another close without giving time for the relationship to develop. Should your word spacing be wide, you likely hold others at arm’s length until you get to know them. You’re likely a little reserved. Extremely wide word spacing indicates you are quite independent and a little wary of intimacy. You may give the impression that you are self-assured, but feel shy or isolated inside.
If your word spacing varies between wide and more narrow, you’ll approach issues from a varied point of view depending on your mood of the moment. There are times you may feel a little anxious or scattered, and you can tend to worry. Your sense of boundaries may be blurred.

Handwriting: A Fine Line
The space between lines of writing is significant. Line spacing reflects how clear emotionally the person is, it suggests organizational abilities and has ramifications in regard to goal setting. Self-discipline and common sense are also factors in line spacing.
All the above is challenging to assess if you give your potential candidate or friend lined paper, for the lines of writing and so many other factors are dictated by the margins as well as the lines on the paper. Remember to always use blank paper.
Line spacing that is balanced suggests someone who can plan well, and who has a clear objectivity in their outlook. Balanced line spacing, in addition, suggests clarity of thinking and a good ability to plan. In addition, this is an area where you can assume that your candidate or friend’s level of common sense will be strong.
Where you observe narrow line spacing, when you can see that the lines are almost going to collide, it suggests a questionable judgment on the part of your potential candidate. It also implies a lack of comfort with self and a questionable level of knowledge about themselves. Their sense of reserve can also be called to question.
Overlapping lines, where the handwriting resembles a ‘traffic accident’ immediately raises red flags in relation to ability to follow through in an organized fashion. Where the upper loops (ideas, philosophies) are colliding with the lower loops (imagination, ability to bring what you are thinking into ‘reality’) it also suggests the person’s thinking may be far from organized. If you think of the writing as one line stepping on the other, it can call to mind a person who steps on another’s toes and who therefore lacks consideration for others. The look of such a writing can be analogous to the proverbial dog’s breakfast, and suggests issues with perspective and judgment.
A writer whose line spacing is wide is indicating they wish to be more detached, perhaps so that it is easier for them to exercise their judgment. If the distance between the lines is significant, it can suggest the writer feels somewhat isolated emotionally, or at least someone with an arm’s length idea of manners or protocol—perhaps a more elegant or ‘refined’ individual. Overly wide line spacing can also suggest the person is experiencing some level of upset or is a dispassionate individual.
Line spacing that is up, down and all around is an obvious red flat insofar as inconsistent confidence, demeanor, and can indicate moods that swing this way and that way at will. This is type of person who can be impetuous and whose moods are ‘of the moment’.

Handwriting: A Marginal Issue
Margins not only create a person’s ‘universe’ as encapsulated on a piece of paper, but they create a frame around the writing. Margins also represent the writer’s area for communicating. For example, just as some people crowd their lives with activities, they crowd their page without any room to spare. Others leave space around their page, analogous to time left for reflecting upon their thoughts.
The person who has no discernible margin around their paper, but who uses every inch of space wants to live life fully. His sense of boundaries may not be developed, and they may believe that because they’re interested, everyone is interested. Someone who writes with a fairly even, broad margin all around is someone who makes sure there is plenty of space in their lives for everything to be done. People like this are not inclined to extend themselves beyond comfortable limits. Those with average margins have a good overall sense of control, neither being over-involved or distant with others.
A left margin that drifts righward is usually characteristic of someone who is enthusiastic and wishes to move to their future. This writer is so excited by what they are doing, they don’t want to take the extra time to go all the way back to the left margin. The writer whose left margin drifts leftward is someone who prefers to opt for the tried and true and established methods rather than ‘taking a risk’. In a sense, this person is ‘backing up’ from taking risks.
Should a page have a concave margin to the left, the person likely starts a project quite enthusiastically; as they realize they are overly far from a familiar ‘comfort zone’, they’ll likely move back toward the familiar (similar to the way their margin steadily drifts back to the left). The writer whose right margin is concave has readily sailed into a new project only to back away mid-page in the right margin pulling back toward the left when they’ve had a chance to re-consider their initial action. After such introspection and with renewed feelings of security that things will work out very well, their right margin is free to drift back from the left and back into the rightward area of the page.
