I started the gym today I'm a little better

It's good for stress relief I was almost going crazy in this house, the sad part is seeing girls my own age and thinking I'll never date or befriend them because I'm a little nigga invisible

Gym culture can be a little tricky to sort out. In addition each gym has its own configuration.

There are some that are there to meet other homosexuals. Some are there to meet other heterosexuals. There are some who desire to show off their bodies. There are some there who are more solitary and seek to focus on there own objectives such as endurance training.

If you fall into the solitary group, you may find a routine that provides the improvement you desire. If you attempt to navigate the social aspects of a gym, you may wish to be aware that you can encounter a spectrum of people different than you may have encountered in other social settings.

If you look at others and compare them to yourself and see yourself falling short in physical attractiveness, you may be setting yourself up for an unhealthy fixation. Many people have married physically attractive people only to find years later that someone who was funny, kind, patient, or even just courteous would have been a better choice.

I haven't seen any of these people in my gym, lol. People are just there to work out imo.

Agree. Trying to hook up with someone in the gym is total douche-baggery. Don't make someone feel uncomfortable by staring or talking. And please, don't offer advice to strangers. If they are fucking up an exercise, let them. Trainers make $60+/hr. Don't work for free.

I went to a commercial gym for several years, I'm not even sure how I could stand that absolute shitshow that are commercial gyms for so long. In fact after the initial high wore off, I had to force myself to go, and I managed to go for many years actually, with a lot of pauses so I never made a whole lot of gains.
Eventually I built a small gym in my garage and I put on some real gains. Not having to deal with all the crap that goes on in commercial gyms was amazing. But as usual, I got tired of it, and then the depression hit me. I haven't gone in a very long time, I wish I had the energy to work out a little, but even if I feel moderately good one day and attempt lifting, having lost most of my gains just demoralizes me.
