How the FUCK do I get over my autism and work out with other people around? I'm a skinny fag and extremely self conscious. Never been to a gym before. Just been trying to make do with what I can alone at home.
>dude nobody's paying attention to you lol Yeah that's a lie. Everybody judges everybody.
>Everybody judges everybody i don't give a shit about others at the gym. i'm there to improve myself not to impress them
>How the FUCK do I get over my autism and work out with other people around stop caring about others, put on headphones, blast music and start working out. after a week you will be laughing thinking back on your first day.
everyone went through the same anxiety the first time they went to the gym. you can minimize this and go at hours that aren't as populated if you want

Confidence is just another muscle you need to work out.

>pic That only works if you're DYEL, otherwise you look like you're about to punch someone. There are fewer things more sad and pathetic than a roided manlet walking around flaring his elbows and lats.

I'm going through the audio book of The Myth of Charisma, by Olivia Fox. try reading/listening to that or the gorilla mindset, you just need a few thought management tools it will be natural after time.

Fuck you, stop being a pussy. People pay attention and judge you, but they don't give a single shit about you.

By definition, most women are beta as fuck
Noah Hernandez
And that's how it should be.

where I live (Sydney) I find that gender roles have reversed for the majority of people, lots of hyper aggressive women walking around and men that have been conditioned to hold back
Lucas Hall
What did you do ?

>mongoloid mentality

Nolan Adams
You stop caring about the judgement Are you going to marry the people in the gym? No. So who are you trying to impress
Austin Hughes
>living in a literal meme
Was this the logical conclusion to the alpha/beta argument?
Aaron Wright
Whatever man, I get tons of interest when i go out with my boys
Adam Edwards
I used to be super self-conscious as well. I took 1g of Phenibut 4 hours before hitting the gym. Crushed my anxiety.

You're judged anywhere you go in public, lifting just highlights your weaknesses.
Nathan Cook
I only notice girls/women and the occasional guy that is aesthetic/roided out in the gym. No one gives a shit about newbs.

Go at opening or closing hours, gym's empty in early morning

I call it the "carrying two invisible watermelons" walk.

This. My first week or two at the gym I was self concious and nervous as fuck.
3 months in and I literally do not give a single fuck, I go in, go straight to the squat/power rack (they're always fucking empty, curlbros everywhere) and start my sets.
David Taylor
>Yeah that's a lie. Everybody judges everybody. nah, it just seems that way because YOU judge everybody.
the only people i give half a shit about in the gym in any way whatsoever are people i talk to there. outside of that you could have the shittiest form, the stupidest clothes, the ugliest face, the lowest lifts, the shittiest routine or anything else you might be self conscious about and i wouldn't even notice it mate. and even if i did, why the fuck should you care? its my problem not yours
Ryan Robinson
those your boys? the only attention i'd give you is asking what organisation you volunteer for

That isn't them but my group of american mixed dudes looks the same. I practice expressing warmth and come across as the carefree approachable knowing guy. 5'10" but tallest in group because burgerland, if they didn't have they're manlet facial hair they would look like a youth group.

Dom Cruz is an MMA fighter, I was never a huge fan of his for a few reasons (limited exposure) but over the past couple years he has become one of my favorite people to step into the octagon. Not because of how he fights but because of his mindset. He recently lost for the second time in his entire career and even though I expected him to win I was quietly happy because I knew he would say some inspirational shit about it. He went on the Joe Rogan podcast just a couple weeks after his loss and there's a shit ton we could all learn from Dominick Cruz here.
