I've been going to the gym for 18 years and I still don't always feel comfortable when I'm there.
Most days I'm fine, but some days I absolutely hate it.
I hate the idea of people looking at me or being too close to me.
I don't feel confident when I'm walking around.
I don't like crowds.
And some days I just don't like being around other peopleπ€¦ββοΈ.
I thought I'd share this in case you can relate.
And want you to know it's completely normal to feel a bit nervous and uncomfortable in the gym.
It does get better over time.
And you can usually overcome it through experience and by choosing the right gym environment for you.
