Not only was Michelangelo sensitive and insecure about his family, his physical appearance, and his lack of education, but he was also deeply conflicted over his homosexuality. Although he strongly denied being homosexual, Michelangelo struggled with his sexuality throughout his life. Michelangelo had a reputation that he acted poor and said things that made people want to stay away from him. He said things such as he often "slept in his clothes and boots" which caused people to avoid him.
