i used to be convinced, until like three years ago, that someone could "make themselves heavier" if they didnt want to be picked up, by just holding really still and clenching. i dont know why.
whenever i tried to pick my dad up, who was almost 180 pounds, i would always say "dad stop making yourself heavy!!!".
