Harry Styles 'Respects' Your Questions About His Sexuality, But Likely Won't Respond

Harry Styles's new album Fine Line might be "all about having sex and feeling sad," yet the singer's not done getting personalized. In a recent interview with The Guardian, published Saturday (December 14), the "Watermelon Sugar" crooner opened up about much more, from how he responds to people questioning his sexuality to why he was previously skeptical about therapy.


"I go," Styles mentioned any time asked if he attends therapy. "Not each week. Yet any time As soon as I feel I need it." Yet his feelings about therapy have changed after awhile, and for a while, he insisted that it wasn't needed. "For a really long time I didn't try therapy, because I wanted to be the guy who could say: 'I don't need it,'" he explained. Right now I realise I was only getting in my own way."


Now that he's experienced its advantages, he sees how much of an impact therapy can truly have. "It supports the he admitted. "I've certainly been wanting to learn stuff, try stuff. Things I didn't grow up around. Things I'd routinely been a little [skeptical] about. Like therapy, like meditation." He also started playing around with style, blurring the lines between men's and women's clothing by wearing a bit of everything from floral suits and high heels to pussy bow blouses — something he does for no other reason than because he likes it.


"What females wear. What males wear. For me it's not a question of that," Styles mentioned. "If I visualize a nice shirt and get told, yet it's for girls I think: 'Okaaaay?' Doesn't make me aspire to wear it much less though." And that's pretty much how he goes about making all of his decisions, from what he wears to what his album artwork looks like. "I want things to look a certain way," he mentioned. "Not because it makes me look gay, or it makes me look straight, or it makes me look bisexual, nevertheless because I think it looks cool ... I dunno, I just think sexuality's something that's fun. Honestly? I can't mention I've given it any more thought than that."


Still, Styles is aware that folks are curious about his sexuality. And although he doesn't necessarily understand why, he respects it. More importantly, he is aware that he's not obligated to share that data with the world. "What I would mention, about the entire being-asked-about-my-sexuality thing – this is a job where you may get asked," he explained. "And to complain about it, to mention you hate it, and still do the job, that's just stupid. You respect that someone's gonna ask. So you hope that respect @they could might not directly get an answer."


segment of not getting an answer might have something to do with Styles's general rule of not using his voice loudly up until he finds the one thing he truly wants to be loud about. "I'd prefer, As soon as I mention something, for people to think I mean it," he mentioned, any time asked why he so rarely uses his platform to inspire fans to get beyond certain causes. "To be straightforward, I'm still searching for that one thing, y'know. Something I can really stand up for, and get beyond, and be like: This Is My Life Fight."
