I posted, “I am horny,” and I wasn’t kidding.
Yes. That’s true.
I used to write on Quora and there was this question, “how are you different from your sister?”
And I started with my first sentence: "My sister is reserved while I am quite horny.”
(Editing this made me realize how inappropriate that sounds but hear me out.)
The reason why I said so is that I thought horny meant something else.
I know it’s strange to believe, but that is true.
All thanks to my habit of not searching for the meaning but instead interpreting from the sentence and the context. And I paid a hefty price for it that day.
I somehow believed that being horny is to be hyperactive and vocal.
So, what I actually wanted to say is that my sister is a quiet child while I am vocal. But it turned out as if I am sexually aroused.
Mind you, I was fourteen.
When I posted that, a person attached a screenshot of the meaning of horny in google dictionary saying, “are you sure that’s what you mean?”
When I saw that comment, I wasn’t pleased and gave him a huge reply telling him how to think outside of sex.
I told him how there could be a life without sexualizing everything.
I feel really bad for the guy. LOL.
But the best part is someone else supported me in the comment section, saying that I was right and he better keep his nose out of it.
I wonder why the other guy supported me.
Well, I lost an innocent follower that day but had no regrets, as I still thought I was absolutely right.
When I think about it, it was indeed the most embarrassing incident of introducing myself as a horny person.
