No. There's lots of ways you can do it. A transfer switch makes it idiot proof.
Basically, it prevents you from either energizing the power line coming into your house with the generator and also prevents you from energizing the generator with main power into the house

I just know nothing about electricity and to be honest it scares me. I don't like messing with anything electrical 
. I guess my best option is just run the 220 cord and plug in what i need to plug in. I myself won't be able to set it up where i can still turn the lights on and off.

Pull the main!!!
Then you can plug into the dryer outlet 220 and light up the house but use a 8-10 ga extension keep the generator outside
If you don't disconnect from the grid you can kill a line man if you can't pull the main breaker go pull the meter off completely
I don't recommend any of this unless you understand what you are doing
