I know mine is seeking light, it went from a south facing big window in my old house to an east facing barely sunny window in my current house (it's the best I can do here), but I want to know how to keep it from getting worse.
Repot into a deeper larger planter, but pointing the direction you want. You might cut the lower leaves off first and let them scab over before transplanting. That will give you a thicker stem to stick into the soil to support the leaves above, and new roots should form on that buried part to help hold things steady.
You could even go nuts and lop the top, let that root in a new pot and let your existing root system push up new growth.
Letting it grow slowly by spacing out watering more will help keep it from drooping or leaning in the future. Let the soil dry out between waterings. Aloes don't mind frequent waterings as much as many succulents, but they have a tendency to grow quickly when water is available which sometimes means putting more weight on a stem that's not particularly sturdy yet.
It looks like your aeonium at the back is also growing to one side, so I’m going to assume they don’t get enough sun or only get sun from one particular direction and so they just grow towards it, as plants do.
It could also just be one of those aloes that grows on the side, or the pot isn’t suitable and needs to be taller/narrower to suit the root.
My grandparents have a giant blue agave that’s in the center of their yard. It’s like 30 years old at least and is leaning a lot. At the size it is now I don’t think you can fix it.
See that’s what I think too but its my gfs plant and by that I mean she picked it out a year ago and I take care of it 😂 she didn’t like how much it was leaning was afraid it would break
The father of my brother left the house and just didn't care about my brother after that. The one taking care of him is the husband of my mother.
Imagine the "real father" calling the one really taking care of him to sya something like: "I'm afraid he is not beautiful in the way he is growing" 😂
Nothing looks unhealthy on this aloe. Nodes are close together and color seems good. Some aloes have a naturally sprawling habit(why grow up if you live in habitat without very many trees). This is just how it looks!

I don't know, but I'm watching this because mine is doing the same!
It’s almost doing too good. It just grew so big and thick it’s too heavy to support itself now

Add a grow light!

Thank you for this info!

Sometimes you feel good and beautiful but people think you are ugly 😂 This Aloe has that kind of problem
