How do you type? [and there's a question at the end, if you're interested]

Hunt-and-peck, never taught, always looking at the keyboard

Hybrid style, never taught, sometimes looking at the keyboard

Touch typing, taught in school, rarely/never looking at the keyboard

Touch typing, self-taught, rarely/never looking at the keyboard

Touch typing, taught/self-taught, but still looking at the keyboard

Other (voice dictation, thumbs on phone, etc.)

Context:

So today I typed ~4,500 words, and now my middle fingers hurt. I was never taught how to touch type (didn’t even know it was a thing when I was younger), so I defaulted to the hunt-and-peck method. Honestly, I feel kinda ashamed that I can’t type “properly.”

I tried learning touch typing online for a couple of days, but gave up—I don’t type often enough to justify the effort, and depression makes it even harder to push myself.

Anyway, I wanted to ask: how do you type?

And a second question: is there anything “normal” that you never learned, and it makes you feel bad sometimes?
