How do I write without sounding like a retard? I feel like my writing style comes across really annoying and difficult to read. Whenever I try to write something I cringe when I read it back. How do I fix my wording and sentence structure so it's less gay?
Thanks for the tips in advance lol.

Don’t use words like retard gay and lol, for starters.

You remind me of a mad men scene where Burt tells Roger that no one takes him seriously because he doesn’t take himself seriously. You could at least have asked for advice without typing like a teenaged nigresse

I'm sorry anon, but the english language is retarded by nature. You have no option but to keep going.
You could maybe buy a tessaurus, but idiots get mad when you employ a variety of terms they are not used to.

It really is just practice honestly. Give yourself Michel de Montaigne style essay challenges to write something about yourself and what you think. Like with practicing every skill, your first attempts will suck, but it will get better. It also helps to go back to books you like and closely analyze how they actually structure their sentences, or how they flow from one idea to the next. What do they do that you do not? How do they pull it off where you fail?

Copy by hand a novel written by your ideal writer. The meme is called "copywork" if you want to google it.

dumb it down like Hemingway. imagine it's being read really slowly, to someone who recently suffered cranial trauma.

Sounds like /ic/'s Draw Bridgman Twice meme. Or /int/'s language learning nonsense like shadowing.

He is clearly a gay man with brain aids, but he introduces you to the right niche topics which you can deep dive

Forget sounding fancy. Forget writing to impress. Forget big fancy vocabulary words. Just aim for clarity.

Then read something with prose you like and try to imitate that.
