Disliked at your gym?

How is the vibe at your gym? Nearly every time I try to be social it ends up being so painfully awkward. Thing is it's been like that at every gym I've been to (commercial and college gyms) I'm aspie and a not so obvious phaggot, so no test filled ego though I'm decently strong, and I try to follow all the rules, yet people tend to be cold. Is it me or is that just the general gym vibe?

You probably just come off as a weirdo.
No offense.
Have you ever been approached by ANYONE? Male or female?

I made friends with tons of people all because they ask to work in and then I just converse from there. Otherwise I rarely go up to talk to anyone and I'm socially retarded most of the time. (Thanks gym pump)

dunno man I feel when people notice your consistency they start to like you. Even if your gym is packed, there's only half a dozen people at most that go at around the same time on the same weekdays without fail for months on end.

Who the fuck goes to the gym to socialize? The only person you should be looking at is you in the mirror.

how the fuck do YOU not come off as a weirdo being socially retarded? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I have the same as OP, I feel disliked
though people did come up to me to ask to work in many times

I don't want a deep life story, but even saying hi or something to someone I've talked to before tends to be super weird

Yeah good point, when people ask to work in it tends to be be an easy conversation, but it's the people that you see every day and you make eye contact and don't talk to until one day you kinda have to to stop the weird tension

>be newbie struggling to add plates on bb for deadlifts
>guy says “you know its a lot easier if you slip a 2.5lb underneath the plates that are already there”
>make a joke about how i was trying to make a one handed row exercise out of it
>we both laugh
>thank him for the tip
>continue workout

I go to my college gym and on the surface everyone looks pretty hostile but they are actually really cool and polite

Are you a chronically masturbating porn addict who also is looking up stuff that most normies if they saw it would think you're fucking sick in the head?

Didnt know this tip.
Thanks for sharing user.

what the fuck does that have to do with anything
t. not that guy

I was for a while, and doing this makes you feel fucking weird, it makes you feel like no one wants to talk to you, and it makes it feel like when you talk to someone, you automatically think they think you're weird. Think about it. When you see a weirdo on the street, do you think he lives a fulfilling sex life or jerks it to degenerate shit?

I switched gyms twice because ppl were genuine assholes.

Idk, depends on the place i suppose. My current one is pretty great. Bit gimmicky but at least people are civil.

>college gym

Fuck, only place i ever felt home. Everyone was an engineer, most were pretty swole and just as autistic. I really wish you could train there as alumni but damnit, you can't.

working in with somebody != having gym friends

I just switched gym locations because a couple of new needy hyperextroverts have come through and found each other and now they're getting all weird about me not going out of my way to talk to them. It's retarded but I'd just rather go to a less crowded, equally convenient Gold's where people mind their business and actually train instead of occasionally playing with weights in between conversations about dumb bullshit.

Oh my god I am so sick of hearing this mentality.
>you can't socialize at a gym
Say fucking who? Literally, what is so wrong about talking? We might as well not talk in ANY public place because we might make someone uncomfortable.

>dont say shit to anyone
>no expression, just chewing gum, catching glimpses of ESPN between rest period
>probably could hear tchami or some other deep house artist blasting from my headphones
>dont bother to look at other in my immediet surroundings
>occasional cuties, including front desk girls look at me, nod, or greet
>simple headnod back
>Read scientific journal articles during cardio day
>run into a homie from outside the gym, all smiles and shooting the shit

I'm not even fucking sure how I would view myself, but I am sure people think I am either bipolar, weird, or just some asshole

Mfw I'm the rickky Spanish of my gym

>Everyone hates me. Young, old, fat, fit
>Always be sure to lick water fountain spout if others are waiting on me
>Always leave dumbells/weights unracked
>Always take shirt off and leave big sweat stain on benches and machines
>Throw all the soap in the showers into the garbage
>Adjust weight scale to make everyone 15lbs heavier than normal
>Always pay gym last minute, in quarters and dimes
>Don't use headphones. Play music out loud on phone speaker (Nazi jazz)
>Touch girls butts if they get close
>Nutt tap guys if they get close
>Trip older people/veterans when I get the chance
>Always go commando so that during squats my balls hang out my rugby shorts
>Have rape stache and long greasy hair

I don't know why they haven't banned me from every gym in Texas yet. Btw if gym owner Jonathan is reading this, FUCK OFF!

>dad been going to this gym for 16 years
>ive been going for 8 years
>we both just go in and listen to audiobooks and glance at eachother and stare at the floor for 2 hours before going home
>at the gym 6 hours a week
I can't remember the last time I've seen him talk to someone. I talked to a girl in April I think.

I don't understand the whole stigma behind socializing in the gym, but for me I always get taken out of my momentum and feel like I can chill and chat for a while, then it becomes hard to get back into workout mindset.

As a borderline sociopath who is quite adept at learning how to be human, you're gonna have to swallow the niggerpill and speak like a bro instead of an englishman.

I've had people approach me at the gym, either to work in or say helpful stuff about form or whatever. Thing is I'm a bit of a cunt and don't want to socialise at the gym and I can't remember names so I'll get to the gym and they'll say "Hey user" and I'll have to just reply hi because I don't know anyone's name

Im the biggest/ 2nd biggest at an independent bodybuilding gym. The regulator guys LOVE me, they love working out with me and listen to my opinions on all subjects that i want to bang on about.

The other competitive BBers are kinda weary. Not impolite, but not friendly either. More jealous, or resentful. This is what ive been told by others.

I try to be nice with everyone, in life sone will like us, others will dislike. The trick is knowing when your at fault, or when they are at fault.

Ultimately, just fucking lift. When you get huge you can be as weird as you want, people will still listen to you.

It's a rock climbing gym, so everyone is super friendly. Everyone cheers each other on when they're going for a hard climb/problem, and the workout space has the same sort of vibe. I usually go on my own but almost always find a workout partner there

I kekked hard, ty user

you're a massive faggot

aLL THE MASSIVE BROS JUST COME UP AND ASK IF I NEED A SPOT. tHEY OFFER , ME ADVICE A LOT TOO.

>gIRL GRABBED MYBUTT WHILE I WAS BENT A BIT
(45DEGREES)

Hey, Mr socially awkward, how do you react when someone tries to start a conversation with you? You probably come off as an asshole yourself, and people probably think you don't like them either. You're not some special faggot who everyone needs to feel comfortable having conversations but who doesn't feel comfortable having conversations himself. Everyone finds social situations awkward at times. Just fucking deal with it and stop being a such a faggot

...

Try filling your ego with test.

3 gram

Sounds pretty comfy desu

I wouldn't know, I avoid looking at people as much as possible. I actively avoid sluts in slut clothes doing slut lifts.

I don’t talk to anyone at my gym but I have a feeling everybody things I’m a douchebag because I’m bigger than 90% of the guys there and I always compulsively flex my pecs in between sets.

>tfw walk in with my headphones in and just stare at the ground and myself
i think the people just get a vibe that i would like to be left alone
people are nice to me, but they don't bother me

Yeah, but it's not like I'm liked anywhere else either

Fucking crying

>conversing at the gym

I'm disliked at my gym because I'm the only faggot there that uses the gym to work out and not socialize/social media. I mean seriously, you dumb cunts can't talk and tap your phones else where?

>An alumni

Im so tired after a hard set i cant talk normally

Don't bother with that shit, I used to believe I was "that guy" at my gym and it made me behave like I was. But a few months ago I just stopped giving a fuck and in just the last two weeks I got approched by a few powerlifting chicks each time I deadlift and they always offer me to use their chalk/wrist wraps or ask me for some training tips.

home gym master race

currently going to the college gym
can confirm everyone is pretty friendly but most of them are dyels.
I talk when someone tries to talk to me but usually i just don't like talking so i don't.

You're borderline straight

yeah that's it mayne. I joined a gym in a small town in March, go 4 or 5 times a week. I see the same 10 people every damn time in the corner with the bench/squat rack/dumbbells etc. It would be even weirder not to have some minimal interaction.

I'm new and autistic. But everyone is really friendly, if I just had the balls to break the ice.

I would think of you as the guy who's just there to do his routine and get on with his business. It's not a sin to keep to yourself. The gym isn't a place for frolicking man.

I talk to some guys at my gyms, both the powerlifting one and the university one. I've talked to Candito at length a couple times, some guys that are insanely good deadlifters that I mix in with on occasion until they go way past my max, and at school I talk to a guy that shares a french class with me who lifts and some other guy that powerlifts at my university gym.

I've had one girl come up to me at school asking about lifting while I was pulling 425, she asked about what to do for glutes and I told her heavy pulls from the floor, heavy squats, and eating will help. She still briefly chats with me from time to time.

I give this tip to people it saves so many lumbars

I'm a very task focused person and while I'm friendly and say hello and even bullshit for a couple minutes, i don't give a damn about your day or your bullshit enough to sit here squawking like women.

A lot of people seem to act like it is.

>You probably come off as a weirdo.
And what the fuck is wrong with this? Is it an unwritten fucking rule to be cold and bitchy to everyone thats not as psychically ambulatory as most people? Just because im not that good at speaking with people they try to make my life a bit worse
Fuck
