Go with someone you know anon, a friend or brother or something. Just keep your head down, do the shit you need to do and get out.
I used to worry about the same stuff, but quickly realised that nobody in the gym cares what other people are doing there.
I still don’t understand what the guy is doing that’s so wrong. He’s just looking
Are you serious or are you actually this dumb? The point of the meme is that there is nothing wrong with the picture, it's completely normal, but people pretend there is something. It's like the fingerbox meme. Obviously the twist here is someone stuck the current gym thots posing / male humiliation trend that's going around on top of it, which is the cleverest thing I have ever seen for this meme - which is not exactly saying much. Sage.
I didn't know people actually thought this. Do you really not see?
Lmaooooo at that guy in the back. What's his problem?
i have a gnarly combination of agoraphobia + general anxiety + mild psychosis so i can't even bring myself to go to the gym in my apartment building ): it's literally down the hall from me but i just can't. i've considered going in the middle of the night because i know nobody's in there but there's cameras and i'm convinced someone will be watching and laughing. idk. i should just do it. please tell me to do it
Just do it anon, you'll regret not going 5-10 years from now and feel completely moronic.
Bring earphones, go in the middle of the night when it's empty, security guy watching cameras either doesn't give a shit or is sleeping.
thank you
i've seen therapists and i am medicated.
yeah i am
You should go see a therapist or heavily medicate yourself, this sounds debilitating. I have a feeling nothing I saw will make it better, but view it like this. If they laugh at or make fun of you they’re dicks and the pain in their heart just be enormous to feel this way. You should pity them for this before anything else. Also nobody is watching those cameras unless something gets destroyed.
What, some fat sack of shit security guard is gonna look through gym tapes and see you working to improve yourself?
You just gotta do it, and the more you do it the more comfortable you'll be in that space.
Even if you just spend the first week going and stretching and never doing anything, you'll get more comfortable and feel less anxious. You can do it fren.
Are you a chick?
as a security guard, I want to point out that we have plenty of IST guards and aren't all fat asses
You ever wonder why it's always the same photos like this being posted, and the same ones in DYEL general? It's because taking pictures of other people at the gym is a rare thing that only insecure freaks and people making creepshot porno do.
It's unlikely to happen to you. No one cares about how you look as much as you do. If you are too afraid to be an awkward beginner, you will never become a graceful master or some shit.
Also I think if I saw someone taking pictures of strangers in a gym I'd probably intervene. Gym is my happy place and that shit doesn't fly.
Just go to planet fitness. You've got a mix of tractor-sized sjw b***hes and dyel twinks, both of which are only there to get out of the house and eat free pizza and bagels. Trust me, nobody there is gonna record you.
>dude nobody watches you at planet fitness
Meanwhile in dumbfrickistan
>drops pen
>sets off lunk alarm
>asked to leave by staff
Go during non busy hours
Get big enough for everyone to fear you.
Just stop being a b***h, homosexual
just do callisthenics at home then
>last gym session there was a hot chick on the bench right next to me then I smacked the dumb bell into my head while doing a tricep skllcrusher
This b***h looks like she's getting ready to take a Heavy Pumping Penis.
WHAT THE FRICK IS THAT BLACK Black person IN THE RACK DOING? FRICK WHAT THE FRICK IS HIS FRICKING PROBLEM?
1. Stop being a weird homosexual.
2. If you ARE going to be a weird homosexual, stop giving a frick and at least own it.
two ideas:
figure out which exercise you want to do in advance and watch form videos so you already know what to do when you arrive. maybe look at your gym website to see exactly what equipment they have
go very early in the morning when there is almost no people
your fear is irrational. you will have to condition yourself over time to overcome it. Other posts in this thread have good advice for first steps.
