Help me Veeky Forums my old border collie (17) just passed away and now that I'm done grieving I've noticed I have a ton of time now that I'm not taking care of her with my every waking moment. I want to go to the gym that's up the street for me since it's a steal at 10 dollars a month, but every time I decide to do it I get this nasty paranoid fear of going in and talking to the teller and worry about how the place is set up or some shit.
Why the fuck am I scared of going to the gym? Have any of you ever had this issue? I've never been to the gym before help me out here.
Evan Gomez
the fact that youre crying over a dog shows youve got bigger issues on your plate than being scared to go to the gym
Isaac Harris
Are you seriously saying that grieving for a deceased pet is abnormal.
Charles Harris
that edge almost cut me
Asher Ward
why would you wait 17 years to kill and eat your dog? Seems like a waste of effort.
Isaiah Brooks
I bet you're greiving over the fact that user probably didn't eat it and let the corpse go to waste arent ya chinky?
Benjamin Cox
It's anxiety because going to the gym is the first step on a long journey of self improvement who's destination can't be seen.
Just do what I did and take the edge off the anxiety with a few shots of liquor and learn the ins and outs of the gym. Pretend like it's hogwarts but instead of becoming a permavirgin wizard you become a slayermode chad

>Why the fuck am I scared of going to the gym? Probably because you feel like shit anyways. When you grief nothing really seems fun and you don't really do a lot of risk taking. In two to three months you'll probably look forward to it. It's a fun place and it's a lot of fub to lift more weights than last time and to see changes in your body happening
Ethan Garcia
Condolences on the dog, user
Is this 10 dollar gym Planet Fitness? I guess everyone has to start somewhere. We were all in your position before, read the sticky and pick a routine, ask questions in Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread, go to the gym, ask for a tour, and when you sign up if you have any questions, ask
Get swole for your barker
Justin Cox
Youre afraid because most these meatheads will pick on you and laugj at you for even trying to be apart of their gym.
Parker Baker
wow you're so cool and edgy, so le Veeky Forums
and you've obviously never been close to a dog of your own
Levi Hughes
Dogs live on average for 13 years. Why would you allow yourself to get close to something you know will die after barely a decade? Seems stupid and pointless. It's a fucking animal. It's not your child. You didn't give birth to it. You paid someone money and then stole it away from its mother and treated it like your own property. Quit acting like you're better than someone because you cared about your animal slave. You're the kind of faggot who thinks it's ok to eat cows and chickens but not dogs, are you? I would eat your dog.

Ow the edge

I was always scared to join the gym too. Not going to lie, signing up and going the first few times was scary, but once you get comfortable with the lifts, it becomes a natural habitat for an autist.

People going to tell you you're a pussy but probably 70% if all people feel/felt that way
Jordan Collins
Ay I'll say it again tough guy, you've obviously never been close to a dog of your own.
Anthony Lewis
Sasuke pls
David Johnson
Btw, do you have a Tumblr I can follow? Your cringe is pretty high grade and I'd like to see more of it. You remind me of the goths and neckbeards in high school.
Noah Smith
I was, but it was still just a dog.
Jeremiah Jackson
Spoiler alert - according to anyone who actually does science (sorry, theology is not science) we are animals as well, just a tiny bit more sophisticated than the ones that surround us.
Dylan Richardson
the only time i'm not interested in making fun of how gay and womanly it is to have a dog is when someone is crying about losing his dog. i'm sorry bro.
Ethan Stewart
>gay and womanly to have a dog
Liam Mitchell
i mean yeah but do you do that with your dog? or do you give your dog cuddles and have a weird manufactured relationship with it in which you assign it emotions it doesn't really have?
Ayden Moore
Get someone to go with you. I managed to go because I started going with my friend, and now I can go by myself no problem.
If you have bad vision, don't use your glasses at the gym so you can't see anything. That way you can focus on yourself.
Justin Wilson
You think soldiers don't cuddle with their dogs and have "weird manufactured relationships with in in which they assign it emotions it doesn't really have"?
Gabriel Williams
what do i do once i get in? i don't want to look like a fool
Jack Smith
I mean, some of them do. But I think Trump's trying to get those soldiers discharged.
Connor Wright
meh I'm tired of arguing with weirdos for the day you can feel that way if you want
Gavin Carter
oh look a person who doesnt understand pet ownership because he lacks basic empathy i bet you look like michael vick, right?
Jordan Watson
>look like michael vick i wonder what that means
Owen Moore
thanks. sorry for busting your balls bro. i love dogs too but you have to admit it's pretty gay. hope calling you gay made you feel better about your dog dying.
Ryan Thomas
Just fucking No one cares how you look, how weak you are, or anything You just go in, train, and leave. Someday you'll have the courage to talk to regulars and make friends with them
Gabriel Taylor
yeh I used to be, its all in your head. If taking to the receptionist is really that hard for you have a couple of beers or something before you go in. Or some shots so you dont smell like beer.
If you dont know how to use equipment or do exericses with free weights look at it on youtube
Mason Mitchell
Oh it's just one of those vegan fags. And here I was worried
Kevin Ortiz
I forgot to say go

No human can make a better companion than a good doggo.

Ya it is. The whole idea of a pet is weak. Animals are for work or food.
Samuel Flores
If it's emotionless, can I fuck my pet? Or is that still weak? If it helps, I beat the pet afterwards for being a slut.
Jackson Watson

End of the day, most people in the gym either don't care what other people are doing or don't know what the fuck they're doing themselves.
As with anything in a public space, there will be people that judge you, but who fucking cares. If someone approaches you, they most likely just want to try and help, even if they're a blithering idiot that doesn't know what they're talking about.
If you want to avoid dudebros just go early in the morning. In my experience all the douche bags are at the gym mid afternoon and later. Mornings it's just people that want to work out and go to work.
Jonathan Reyes
Shitskin detected. Only Europeans value the companionship of man's best friend the doggo. We created them from the wolves after all.
Mason Foster
Fixing one thing in my post: Only Europeans and the Japanese. For some reason, the Japanese are the only non European race that also loves doggers and treats them well.
Luke Sullivan
Is that a malinois?
Joseph Martin
Not true. Rural and mountainous regions of India adore and worship doggos
Dogs occupy a special place inHindu mythology. As mentioned in theMahabharata,Bhairava, a fierce manifestation ofLord Shiva,had a dog as avahana(vehicle).Yama, the god of death, is believed to own two guard dogs – each with four eyes. The dogs are said to watch over the gates ofNaraka, the Hindu concept ofHell.
Lucas Miller
Sure, ok, but Arabs and Negroes are soulless creatures that enjoy watching innocent animals like dogs suffer. The Chinks too.
