Wide word spacing shows the writer finds time to pursue things she is passionate about.
Spacing between words
We all require space in our lives. We need the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. In short, space is a vital component in everyone’s life. Some need normal space, some need less, and some want a lot of space.
In graphology, spacing between words shows how much distance you want to keep from the people around you, whereas spacing between letters indicates the extent of self-expression.
Graphologist Sheila Lowe says:
The amount of space a writer leaves between words is a good indication of how much personal space she demands from others and the degree of self-restraint she uses in social situations. What is a ‘normal’ amount of space between words? A good rule of thumb is to use the width of a letter m in the writing you are analysing.”
Wide spacing between words
If the spacing between words (see pic below) in your handwriting is very wide, it clearly shows that the writer has developed trust issues and therefore he is unable to establish a steady relationship with fellow humans around him.
Such writers mostly keep quiet and avoid getting into discussions and arguments.

But before you make up your mind that wide word spacing is inarguably a negative feature to have in handwriting, I must tell you that it is not.
Often, very creative people choose a high level of personal space in order to find time for their passion and things they love to do.
If this handwriting feature coincides with a small size of handwriting, the social isolation could be really high.

Narrow spacing between words
Handwriting analysis says someone whose handwriting has close word spacing is often found to be in need of constant contact with people around him, which makes him feel good.
Such needs are often derived for feelings of insecurity, which compels the writer to seek solace in the company of others.
If narrow word spacing coincides with large handwriting size, the need to keep in touch with people becomes an inexplicable necessity for such writers.
