That sounds bad but it's true lol. People who go to the gym are just into themselves haha. I used to go like at 10pm since it was practically empty by then, now I go whenever I can but you should try going either early like anytime from 8am-noon or 10pm+ 3pm-7pm is like the peak time since people get out of work and go so if you're not too confident, just try the less busier times.

The thing is, i know that probably nobody cares.
But the gym i go to, has no one to explain to me how things work.
Like i am embarassed, coz i dont know how the machines work, FFS i dont even know where i put the towel on the machine when i work out or how i use it lmao
And it all comes down to me being uncomfortable and ignorant and feeling like a joke seeing all these people work-out like pros while i struggle to turn on a machine

**** this ****, i need to gather myself
and get my ass to the gym (oh btw the gym i go to doesn't is open till like 10 pm, coz if i could i would probably go at midnight lmao
was sitting upright on a smith machine looking at me. Now when I'm in my moment, I have my headphones full blast so I don't hear anything so any way, a second later the guy walked up to me and asked if I could spot him for benching - also went on to say that he'd tried to get my attention for like 3 minutes but whoops headphones supersedes randoms. Needless to say, people looking happens. I don't give it any thought.
GET FIT ATRL!
hihi
