Please hear me out, I am begging you.

Gravity is not a force that causes acceleration. It's an acceleration that causes force.
Space does not bend, it flows toward matter like water toward a drain.

As you are sitting in your chair (or wherever) you are accelerating at about 9.81m/s.
To illustrate this, imagine sitting in a dragster that is accelerating forward at 9.81m/s. You'd be forced into the back of the seat.
Now take the seat out of the dragster and set it on its back so it's facing the sky.
If you sit in it, you'll similarly be forced into the back of the seat as if you were accelerating into the sky.
From this thought experiment, it's apparent that we are actually accelerating away from Earth. And yet, we do not fly off into the sky.
The only reasonable explanation for this is that space itself must be accelerating toward earth to cancel out the acceleration

Imagine Earth like a big drain that space flows into. As space gets closer, it must accelerate due to being crowded into a smaller area.
We feel space accelerating past us toward the center of Earth, and perceive it as the force of gravity. There is no force, just acceleration through space.
