Okay, so I saw this question, “how do I become straight?” and I was like, huh, that’s a weird one. It got me thinking, though. Can you even do that? So, I decided to, you know, mess around and see what’s up.
My Little Experiment
First, I just sat down and thought about it. What does it even mean to be straight? Like, what would I have to do differently? It felt super awkward, to be honest. I’m me, you know? I like what I like.
Then, I tried to, I guess, “act” straight. It was dumb. I watched some sports I had zero interest in. Tried to talk about girls in a way that felt, like, totally fake. I even tried to change the way I walked and stood! It all felt forced and unnatural, like I was putting on a really bad costume.
- Watching Sports: Boring as hell. I just didn’t care who won.
- Talking About Girls: Awkward. Like, really awkward. I felt like I was reading from a script.
- Changing My Mannerisms: Ridiculous. I kept forgetting what I was even trying to do.
After a day of this, I just gave up and started to do things I enjoy doing like watching my favorite show. I started to feel normal again after doing things I like.
The “Results”
The whole thing was a total fail. You can’t just decide to be straight, just like you can’t decide to be, I don’t know, a cat. It doesn’t work that way. You are who you are, and trying to be someone else is just exhausting and pointless. Honestly, it felt pretty insulting to even try, like I was saying there was something wrong with who I am. And there’s not.
So, yeah, my “experiment” proved exactly what I thought it would: You can’t change who you are, and trying to is just a waste of time. Be yourself, whoever that is. It’s way easier, and you’ll be a lot happier.
