Just remember the gym patrons are more scared of you anon than you are of them
Read Seneca
had the same issue here. my advice,
practice mindfulness, it helps.
Inform yourself about John Kabat-Zinn work.
what did you read? was it of any help?
Happens to me all the time, sometimes I do a 720
Yes. Then you enter
anyway.
Anxiety wont kill you. If you do this often enough anxiety will take more and more room. First it's the gym. Then groceries. Then your doorstep. Dont give in to anxiety.
just use a blindfold its not like you need eyesight to open a door when you can just use echolocation
What the frick is anxiety?
Same feeling like when you’re having a nightmare but irl and all the time
What the frick is a nightmare?
Have you tried not being a pussy?
Anxiety comes from an unnatural diet. Eat raw meat/organs and watch as the anxiety disappears
watch Andrew Tate Iron Mind
Work out at home moron
One step at a time big boy, no one's looking at you or judging you only your mind is.
Realise turning around makes you look even more silly, if I saw you turn around I'd laugh my ass off
Huh? Doing a 360 would make you be facing the same way you were already facing? Do you mean 180
it's a JOKE chuds
Anon, 360d means you ended up facing the direction you were originally facing.
if you are worried about looking strange or out of place, showing up at the gym then immediately leaving makes you look far weirder than if you had just walked in and worked out
If this is your issue, consider working out as early in the morning as possible or an hour before closing. Maybe even get to the gym 15 minutes early before it opens, then when you walk in you literally will be one of the first people there, and everyone else is old fricks
Had a similar experience recently:
>late night workout
>gym basically empty
>head to the locker room to grab my stuff
>oddly quiet
>hear something coming from the showers
>a rhythmic slapping
>as I focus it grows louder over the sound of "Bad Company" playing softly over the gym's tinny sound system
>it can't be...
>the vigorous "slap... slap... slap", the unmistakeable sound of flesh meeting flesh, continues
>curiosity gets the better of me
>I gingerly poke my head around the corner to the showers
>see two figures intertwined
>a large, well muscled man of maybe forty and a skinny man in his early twenties
>they glisten, dripping water although the faucets are turned off
>I watch droplets of water fleck off the dimpled skin of the young man's ass cheeks as his lover continues to ram him from behind
>he looks up, catches my eye
>mouths a silent "Help me!", eyes wide with the shock of being fricked by such a mammoth wiener
>the larger man doesn't notice me, his gaze is intent on the naked body of his unwilling prize
>I grab my things and nope out of there
>change gyms immediately thereafter
That was me. I wasn’t asking for help, I was asking you to join.
hot
Unironically psychotherapy and SSRIs, that's what solved it for me
are you new to the gym?
this used to happen to me when I started going at like 17 and was a pussy also, theres no real way around it.
when I started I was doing full compound workouts with an unloaded bar but you just have to become numb to what (you think) people are thinking and just figure out how much you'll be lifting at the end of the month and the month after.
Ive done a bunch of embarrassing shit at the gym, nearly clocked an old guy in the face doing dumbell flies and he got confrontational, got stuck at the bottom of a squat and let all the weight slide off and crash to the floor, unloaded one side of the bar and it flipped, shorts fricking tore open in a squat, etc.
Sorry for blogposting but even if you are as moronic as me you can muster the courage to go to the gym man
>How do I fix it
Open the door and go in. You're already moving the mentally ill people who aren't even capable or driving or taking the bus to the gym. Shit on them again by opening the door and going inside.
