Let this be a lesson to all those people who don’t want to go to the gym because they’re afraid people will look at them in a judgingly negative way. The reality is, no one at the gym looks at you at all. Everyone else is just there to get their shit done, flex a little bit, and go home.
Also, please don’t die at the gym because I really need to use those mats.
Sometimes others aren’t looking to express their needs in order to find a solution to a problem… sometimes they just need to let those feelings out - they need to feel heard, and that’s plenty.
